Lacey and Ren :: Picture me... engaged!!!

D-land aka Disney Land..... A place of dreams, color, and a vision.

Yesterday we were able to hang out with Lacey and Ren. They contacted us last week wanted to do an E-session at a place that meant the world to them. I guessed a few places before she spilled the beans that it was D-land. At first we (mark and I) where a little confused why D-land was "special", but now it all makes sense.

Lacey worked in the costume department and Ren was a pirate in the theater department. Every day Ren would check his costume out by this cute small blonde. She was madly in love with him from the first time he spoke, "may I please check out the pirate uniform"? He thought she was cute, but nothing was said or pursued. Well on Lacey's last day at work she mustered up enough guts to slip Ren her digits...

And here we are a few months later. They met at D-land, they got Engaged at D-land, They are having part of their ceremony at D-Land, and they are going to Walt Disney World for their honeymoon. So you can see why D-land is so special.
Congrats! We are sooooo excited for you both. We cant wait to work with you again soon.

I am SO completely 100% in LOVE with this shoot guys!!!! :-D It's so completely beyond spiffy. I'm loving the giant jack in the box!!!! Thats awesome! Cat and I went to Disney'World' for our honeymoon so those shots of the castle bring me back... I wish we lived close to a Disney park because we would so go back at least 5 times a year. How lucky you guys are!!

I love all the geometric shapes in the architecture behind them (#10 & #11)...the lines make your eyes follow and focus right in on the couple. so cool. but my FAVORITE is the C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A shots at the end. THOSE R THE COOLEST! very creative you guys are. All these are amazing & look like this couple is so much fun together.

It's a small world after all.....I recently stumbled upon your blog, after seeing your work I was an immediate fan. I even put you on my favorites. Jose Villa is a friend of mine and I looked at all the top photographers, when he was listed. You were on JC's site. Last Tuesday, we took my son to Disneyland and saw a super cute couple in front of the bank on Main Street getting their picture taken with their hands extended showing their tickets. I told my husband it's probably an engagement shoot, the photographer has a Contax camera?. My sister is a wedding photographer ( Linda Chaja Photography) I just inherited her old 10d digital from her time at Brooks. Now, I am so enthralled with taking pictures I look at blogs for inspiration. So , it was SO VERY COOL when I looked at your blog this week and the cute couple was on your site and the photog was you. What are the chances? It would of been awesome, if I knew it was you so I could of said Hi. Keep up the good work. Your pictures are so wonderful. Erica Adams
