One of the things I cherish most about living in Orange County is my friends.  Yes, we have some great beaches, some amazing restaurants, Disneyland, and the mountains are only a short drive away.  But even with all that, what I love about Orange County is some of the amazing friends I have here.  What’s even more exciting is when I get to see one of those friends so happy and get to be a part of one of the most exciting chapters in their lives.  I want to introduce you to my wonderful friend Vanessa and her soon-to-be husband Josh.

I’ve known Vanessa for a few years now and I have been blessed by her witty charm and sarcasm but even more so by her kindness.  As I’ve gotten to know Josh I can clearly see he shares some of the same traits as Vanessa and there was never a lack of laughter during their engagement session.  Santiago Oaks Park in Orange County offered the perfect backdrop for this sweet engagement session.  Not to mention it also provided Josh with some oranges so he could show off one of his many talents.  Being a photographer in Orange County never lacks opportunities for adventures and it was great adventuring through the park with Vanessa & Josh.  I’m so excited to see these two lovebirds get married in La Verne next week!  For now here are some great moments from their engagement session at Santiago Oaks Park in Orange County.  Enjoy!
