irvine engagement photographer / dyanne + ross
I met Dyanne when she came to help at her sister's engagement shoot. You can see her sister's wedding here. I clicked with her right away and I was thrilled when she contract me about shooting her wedding. Dyane and Ross are adorable and so easy to work with. We started the shoot at UCI. When we got there, I told them we had to jump a gate to get to the good light. They looked at me funny and said "are you serious?" We all hoped the gate and were laughing the whole time. They took me to their favorite spot, OC Mix where there were fun wall and lot of beautiful nooks, lots of color too. I can't wait for their big day next January, my first wedding of 2019.

Words from Dyanne
We first met around the end of 2012. I was actively searching for jobs and had found a position at the company he was at. The CEO asked that I come in for a second interview with Ross. I remember walking into the meeting room and thinking "Oh hello! You are very cute!" During the interview, he and I got along very well and he was very charming and funny which I found very refreshing, especially when job interviews can be quite stressful. Eventually, a few months later, I was offered the position and accepted. We worked together for a few months, up until the time I left the company for another job. Afterwards, we kept in touch once in a while and I never really gave our friendship much thought past that. But our hang-outs started becoming more frequent, and I found myself looking foward to them and hanging out with him. We always had fun, there was constant laughter, and we never ran out of things to talk about. One day, we were watching a movie and he kissed me! Out of the blue! Just like that. And up until then, I really didn't think he was even romantically interested in me. But now here we are...engaged and looking forward to getting married and spending the rest of our lives together.
We chose UCI and The OC Mix because they hold sentimental value in our hearts. He went to school and graduated from UCI, so he's an true Anteater through and through, and loves the campus. As for the OC Mix, it was right across the street from the company we worked at. We often went over there for lunch, whether together or with the company. Needless to say, there were a lot of fun times and fond memories made there, so it seemed fitting for us to go back to where it all started for our engagment session.
