Alexis + Mitch = Engaged!

When I first met with Alexis and Mitch and they mentioned they might like their engagement session to take place at the San Diego Zoo, a place they visit together often, I was so excited. I had never been to that particular zoo before and I’m slightly in love with panda bears, something that zoo is known for. The day finally came for me to trek it on down to San Diego for the day and hang out with this awesome couple. It was a fun day full of sunshine, panda bears, laughter…and gelato. Basically a pretty incredible day.

Alexis and Mitch are sweet to one another, without being too mushy. They glance at each other often, as if they’re communicating silently in a secret language only the two of them knows. It’s hard to find someone that knows you so well you can speak to them without saying a word, but these two seem to have done it. I’m so glad they found each other and I’m even more glad I’ll be the person that gets to document their wedding day next year.

Here are a few of my favorites from their engagement session at San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park.

After we finished up at the zoo, we headed over to Balboa Park. When I saw the Spanish Village Art Center I got very excited. I can’t think of a place in Los Angeles that has so much color!

Alexis and Mitch, thanks so much for spending the afternoon with me (and for the yummy dinner and gelato, too!). I had so much fun and I can’t wait for your wedding day!
