I absolutely adore Valerie + Sid. I shot their engagement session at their beautiful home in Pasadena in their back garden. It was SUCH a blast, as they are both super creative individuals and artists in their own rite, so naturally they were down for anything. Sid is an artist and Valerie a chef, so I suggested she create one of her culinary dreams to incorporate in the the shoot, and man, did she bring it! The vintage cars in their driveway turned out to be the most amazing props and we had such a wonderful time together.

They are the sweetest couple, both so considerate, thoughtful and loving and I was honored to be able to capture such a beautiful couple embarking on the next step in their partnership.

Congrats to you both!
