Marco and Hayley Engagements

On Saturday night they worried the rain might ruin their plans to spend the day at the Huntington Library the following afternoon. On Sunday, when the crisp air was so cool it hurt to breathe too deeply and the sun shined so brightly one had to squint, Marco and Hayley happily walked the historic grounds.

Walking hand-in-hand one could’ve guessed they were in love, but what most wouldn’t know is that they were engaged a month after going out on their first date. They just knew. Hayley saw Marco during a concert and knew he was her type—tall, dark, and athletic—so she made her way over to him and struck up a conversation. Little did the small Texas girl realize she was meeting her future husband.

As they made their way around the beautiful gardens, Marco would often pull Hayley into his chest and squeeze her tightly. She fit perfectly into his over-sized arms, like a key into an old-fashioned lock.

I’m so excited to shoot their wedding next February in Los Angeles and I’m honored to be a part of their special day…here are a few from our shoot…

The ring on Marco's hand is from his time with the USC Trojans when the team won the national title

Hayley is one killer salsa dancer (and was a professional cheerleader to boot!), so here she is showing Marco her moves...

They couldn't resist the gorgeous fall leaves :)
