We took this couple out for an engagement session and had a couple spots in mind. As we were photographing, a random local came up to us and asked if we knew about this secret courtyard with a beautiful blooming blossom tree and a rooftop you could go up on. We had no idea so he was kind enough to show us where it was and we got some great pics there!

C&C is definitely encouraged!

Thanks!

Nice! But please crop the last to a head n' shoulders shot, as she does not want people trying to peek at her panties. :oops:

Not a great angle because it makes her look huge!

We actually did not do anything to her eyes, that is all natural. Her eyes are quite beautiful.

Very pretty set.
The tree, incidentally, is a Magnolia.

That is classified as amazing. I only had 1 client whose eyes came anywhere near that. Sorry for the assumption but I see over PP on eyes alot.
