Engaged – Catherine and Phong

Catherine and I go way back. And I mean, all the way back– as in Junior High School! So when Cat contacted me last year and asked me to photograph her wedding, I was just so honored, and thrilled, and humbled!! that she chose me to be the one to immortalize her most amazing day.

So I met Cat and Phong (who by the way is such a sweet guy and an all around gentleman, and I know he’ll treat Cat like a queen for the rest of their lives :) ) last Sunday for their engagement session. They live in Virginia, where Cat moved to a couple of years back, so we incorporated their session when they planned a week’s trip here in California to check on things for their wedding.

This engagement shoot was a pretty unique one– Cat and Phong will be having a traditional Vietnamese wedding, so they will of course be wearing traditional wedding attire for the Vietnamese culture. Cat then decided she wanted to wear her cake cutting dress for her e-session, and she looked just absolutely beautiful!

Check these two gorgeous people out…

I added a bit of texture to spice things up:

Can you tell they are a super fun couple to be around? ;)

And let’s not forget the gorgeous ring:

We also took advantage of them being in formal dress that I took some bridal shots as well.

Cat and Phong, thanks so much for a fun session! See you guys in July!
