orange county engagement | michael & ali

years ago i was a server at this little place called disneyland. four and a half years later, i went back to work my new job as a wedding photographer. ah i love how life changes sometimes =) ali & michael have a special place in their hearts for disneyland. it is where he first asked ali to be his girlfriend. it is where they spend their date nights together. and it is where our engagement session took place. it was an overcast morning in early december when we trotted around the park. i felt quite creepy at times as i was the loner in the crowd photographing a couple in love. michael & ali even posed on thunder mountain for me as i tried to not allow gravity take my camera out of my hands. they even shared their favorite disneyland treat of a cream cheese pretzel with me! overall, it was a lovely morning getting to know the love story of my august bride & groom. oh and probably the best engagement story of yet, he proposed in paris. hello! oh and isn’t ali gorg?!

michael & ali, thank you for the pretzel, cherry coke and lovely morning at disneyland – i can’t wait to capture your wedding next year!
