Engagement Session: Mike & Ashley | Analisa Joy Photography | Upland, CA Photographer

Third times a charm! Ashley and I have been exchanging emails for months trying to find a date that worked for us to get together. We finally found a time that worked and we were able to celebrate their two year anniversary. Whenever I get together with a new couple, I enjoy learning how they discovered my photography. I was excited to learn that Ashley found my work on Pinterest! How fun!

Mike and Ashley live in Arizona, but they decided to head to the coast and make a trip out of it. I loved that they scheduled a photo shoot in the middle of their vacation at the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a prettier day– sunny and 75, a gorgeous golden hour, and vibrant sunset to end the evening! My favorite thing that I learned about these two is that they share a love for horror stories. I couldn’t believe it! They are nothing but smiles and they are total sweethearts. I had the hardest time picturing Mike and Ashley snuggling to a scary movie. I love it! I enjoyed spending time with Mike and Ashley and I’m so thankful that I was able to capture such a special time in their life. Congrats to two years of marriage and I hope they are blessed with many, many more! 

They are the cutest! 

Matching tattoos… Their favorite number!

She’s gorgeous!

Love this!

This dress is awesome! 

I am a sucker for floppy hats! 

So many favorites of these two!

Toasts with their wedding glasses. So sweet!
They are making a tradition to have them in all their anniversary shoots.
