This past March in Miami, the love of my life, Luke, asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, and I said yes! Ever since then, my world has been a whirlwind of celebration, decision making and planning my dream wedding. Although we took some engagement pictures in Miami, we thought it was only fair (since our relationship and lives are both in Los Angeles and Miami) to take our “real” engagement pictures at the vineyard in Malibu where we will be married next year.

My talented friend and photographer, Donna Muccio, met us at the vineyard and took the most stunning pictures throughout the property! Although I am accostumed to taking lots of pictures, I felt like I needed to do some research before Luke and I jumped into another photoshoot together. Knowing that we don’t have many opportunities to pose together, and that these pictures would be used for many of the wedding festivities (guest book, invitations, wedding websites, albums, etc.), I googled “engagement picture tips,” and found my wedding planning guru, WeddingWire. I read a few articles like The Art of an Great Engagement Shoot and learned a few tricks and tips that were very helpful on the day of the shoot! Below I linked a few more articles from WeddingWire that will be helpful for your upcoming engagement shoot session.
