Lauren and Rory met while she was in school down in San Luis Obispo. Rory by far has the most go to guy kind of engagement story that we have heard in our years of engagement stories. Rory actually painted “will you marry me” on white bed sheets and placed them on top of a house….to understand the magnitude of this task, is to understand just how much Rory loves Lauren. Rory then took Lauren on a plane flight and just happened over the home. As the story goes… these two are completely head over heals in love and Rory has made it hard for his guy friends to ever out do an engagement proposal like this one.
If you live up in the Bay Area, then you know how much it’s been raining lately. Not the kind of rain that falls light either…the kind that cat’s and dogs fall out of the sky kind of rain. So imagine how lucky we are that this past Saturday, the sky dried up long enough to meet up with Lauren and Rory for their engagement session at Mills College in Oakland, CA. If you have never been to this campus….GO there…check it out…I want desperately to go back with a picnic basket and perhaps a bottle of vino. Maybe when the grass dries out?
uh…blue door and blue eyes….fantasticly gorgeous!
Their body language was so natural together….no instructions required.
The arches made for a beautiful composition. Thanks to Lauren and Rory for choosing such a visually stimulating spot to photograph in.
Couldn’t help but notice the mood lighting in this little nook and cranny. Love the Moroccan style light fixture.
This just might be my favorite from the day….have to admit that it is Josh’s shot…damn him and hot damn:0)
um…hello very cool door. This door rocks the Casbah for sure.

Lauren you are beautiful!
Josh sees it this way….
p.s….the bells were ringin for us:0) Julia Morgan designed this bell tower…simply beautiful.
I saw it this way…tamato, tomato, patato, potato….I love how we can see the same scene so differently.
Family photo time….Meet Dakota their super cute and friendly pup…his fur felt like velvet.
What a perfect day we had photographing and spending time with you Lauren and Rory! Can’t wait for your wedding in May.
