Engagement Shoot at the Arboretum!

Todd and I excited about going to Los Angeles in less than two weeks for various reasons.  The reason that gives HIM the most excitement is the USC - Ohio State football game.  The reason that gives ME the most excitement is our engagement shoot!

I discovered our photographer through a post of Mrs. Tulip's on WeddingBee.  Although he has a rather small portfolio thus far, the wedding slideshows he sent us were very impressive, he's responded to all of my e-mail queries promptly and effectively, and each of his wedding packages is comprehensive (and none are astronomically priced!).  They also all include an engagement shoot! I think this is quite a rare combination of virtues to find in a Los Angeles-area photographer!  His name is Sebastian Ho.

When I told our Sebastian that we wanted our engagement shoot to be at the Los Angeles County Arboretum (one of the places we visited on our wedding venues tour), he was thrilled!  So the Sunday after next, we'll get all gussied up and meet him there for a morning through early afternoon shoot.  I can't wait!

Here are some beautiful locations at the Arboretum:

The lake, with Queen Anne Cottage.  

A koi fish pond with a breathtaking view of the San Gabriel Mountains in the distance.
