Happy April, everyone!  The arrival of spring here in southern California has been marvelous.  Although most of you know I’m not the biggest fan of rain, I do love what rain does.  It gives way to brilliantly blue skies, sparkling sunshine and that refreshing, lingering smell of wet grass & pavement.  I’m crazy about it!  I have been ushering in the season in my own way, too… by way of the re-introduction of sandals and floral sundresses into my wardrobe.  I could not be more excited for my spring wedding schedule, either!

This recent engagement shoot, however, already has me wishing for summer.  🙂 Although in southern California we get pretty close to a year-round summer, I still particularly relish the mid-year months that promise sunshine, lazy beach days, barbecues and picnics, and the sparkle and bliss that only comes that time of year. My friend, the stylish photographer Braedon Flynn, has hit it out of the park once again with this set of images.  Brady captured Reed and Leslie in such a delightful and playful way; I love the fabulous styling, wardrobe choices and unique settings.  Each snap embodies the very essence of summer, and all its carefree felicity.  (And again… could my clients be any more GORGEOUS, fashionable and utterly fab?  I adore this pair, and every email from Leslie makes me more and more excited for her sure-to-be-stunning wedding this fall.)

Thank you to Braedon for sharing his phenomenal talent with us once again.  I hope these photos brighten your day the way they did for me.  🙂  **P.S. You can see these images in a glorious, larger size on Brady’s blog in this post.**

Have a wonderful week, loves!

xoxo, Angel
