Jennifer + Ben: Engaged 05/13/2013 | In Engagements, by Erwin

Santa monica engagement portraits by erwin darmali of apertura 000 Jennifer + Ben: Engaged

The world is so small. I met Jennifer + Ben during our initial consult and found out that Ben knew of me through my childhood friend who was his co-worker. We hit it off very quickly and saw eye to eye in just about anything related to the photography that they wanted for their wedding. So here comes the images from their engagement session in Santa Monica, where they hang out the most. They are fun and are simply very cool people. I am jealous of their hair :)

Here are some of my favorites:

Sam + Vivi came from Indonesia to revisit their college town of Carlsbad and had their engagement photos taken there and around San DIego. I love their energy together despite the unusually cold weather. Let’s just say that the three of us really had a great time that day. :)

Tiffany + David: Angeles National Forest 11/20/2012 | In Engagements, by Apertura

The long hike through the Angeles National Forest was worth it with these two kindred souls. Tiffany + Dave love Halloween so much that they wanted to do their engagement session on Halloween day, in the forest, with custom-made animal masks that Tiffany made from scratch.
