Couple’s Photos at Botanical Park, 10 Days Before They Said, "I Do."

A New City, Their Local Park, and so much to Celebrate

Taylor always had it on her mind that she and Vincent would elope for their wedding whenever it happened. As the day came closer to them moving across the state and starting a new life together, their families decided they didn’t want to miss Taylor and Vincent becoming husband and wife. With 45 days on the clock, their families set off to plan them a wedding as special as they are while the two of them got ready to make their move back down to Southern California!

Just over a week before their wedding, and one weekend after the two of them settled into their new home in SoCal, we met up together at the park on the corner by their house to take come commemorative engagement photos for them to enjoy this very special time in their lives together! We specifically wanted to take photos at this park because they knew with it being so close that they would likely take their dog Tate (short for Potato) there frequently and it would become a special spot to them. I loved the sentiment! We enjoyed the overgrown and ever-present southern California bougainvillea, a tiny white, mission style community center, some draped wisteria over a gazebo, and a large open lawn where they practiced their first dance for their wedding in 10 days time.

I have known Taylor for well over a decade now being the one to capture photos for her over the years of her and Vince at each stage of their relationship has been an absolute joy to me! I am so selfishly happy to have her down here in SoCal with me now!
