SO Engaged: Nicole & Reuben

Nicole and Reuben are getting married next month, and I couldn't have been more honored to take some engagement photos for them.

I've known Nicole since freshman year of college. Throughout our college years we became great friends while working together on the university newspaper and having a photography art show on campus our senior year. We've stayed in touch in the years since college and I'm so glad we did. Seeing how happy Nicole is with Reuben is a joy. I've photographed a wedding with the both of them, caught up with them at a USC game, and just hung out with them, witnessing how happy and in love they are. Nicole has found true happiness in Reuben and it's evident when they are together. They laugh constantly and get lost in conversation together.

We headed to Downtown Disney for the engagement shoot, where you can't help but be happy and smile.





A little love followed by a little arm wrestling.








Nicole and Reuben doing their typical tourist picture... right after we were told by security that you are not allowed to take pictures at Downtown Disney... which was the most ridiculous thing we've ever heard. We carried on of course. :)




Weddings are held under this beautiful gazebo which was luckily completely empty for us!


Beautiful smile.








You can't go to Downtown Disney and not go into the Disney store!








I'll end with my favorite pic of the day. It captures their love and the magic of the surroundings perfectly.
