Before the crazy holiday rush, I had the privilege to shoot Lisa and Jason's engagement session on the beach in Laguna. It was truly a beautiful day and so nice to get to know this awesome couple. Here are some favorites from the shoot - And my favorite from the day - To Lisa and Jason: Thanks for a great evening! Looking forward to the wedding! delightfully, Chenin

I love to shoot engagement sessions! It's such a fun time to get to know my clients, explore the OC and generally get in to trouble! Here's some of my favorite engagement images of 2007! delightfully, Chenin

A couple of days ago, I had the pleasure of shooting Ali and Shari's engagement session. They are two very special people who met, fell in love and got engaged within weeks. It's crazy, but sometimes you just know when two people are meant for one another - Shari and Ali are definitely meant to be! Here's some favorites from our time together - I'm always searching for little pockets of crisp light and hard shadows - I think they both look smokin' hot in this shot - And a little beach action, just for good measure - To Shari and Ali: You are both so fantastic! I can't wait for the wedding! delightfully, Chenin

While I was in Hawaii, I shot a very special engagement session for Doug's sister, Carrie, and her delightful fiancee, Adam. It was fun to shoot with Doug a little and especially great to see how sweet Carrie and Adam are together. They live in London, so we don't get to see them too much, and it was a wonderful time getting in to some trouble together. Earlier this year, Doug and I discovered this very narrow and very winding road through the Northern part of Maui. It's probably my favorite place on the whole island, so we took Carrie and Adam up there for some pics. It was super-windy, but we made the best of it! And one more at sunset - To Carrie and Adam: It was so fun to see you both! Made me wish you lived closer (hint, hint). I love you guys! delightfully, Chenin
