UCLA Engagement Photos by Graham & Graham

We usually photograph our happy couples at the beach, but Gaby and Dave both attended UCLA, loved it, and have chosen the Bruins as the theme for their July Los Angeles wedding. So it was off to Westwood for us, and we were thrilled to be there.
We're huge fans of Royce Hall and Powell Library as terrific backdrops, and have spent many hours at UCLA ourselves--including four years of an evening novel writing class with the great Claire Carmichael.
We met Gaby and Dave last year when she was a bridesmaid for her UCLA alum Marlen's wedding. Like Marlen and hubby Williams, Gaby and Dave will also have their wedding sweets provided by Westwood's own legendary institution, Diddy Riese, home of the 35 cent cookie.
Can't wait!

Manhattan Beach Engagement Photos | Olivia & Wesley

We met with Olivia and Wesley Sunday morning for a fun session by the sea. The week before it was so hot we could hardly stand outside. This weekend, when we started it was so cold poor Olivia was shivering. But the clouds started to part, and we were all able to warm up. We spent a good deal of time under the world famous Manhattan Beach Pier, in and around the sand and in the great overlook by the parking lot. The Pier is one of our all-time favorite engagement session locations. Olivia and Wesley are planning to wed at the historic Mary, Star of the Sea church in San Pedro, with a reception right afterwards at the stately Queen Mary in Long Beach.
See you there guys!
