Brian and Jennifer - Glenbrook Engagement Session
I photographed Brian & Jennifer's engagement session at Glenbrook recently and I must say, I love this couple! They are so fun and gave me complete creative freedom during their session...they were up for anything.
Jennifer wanted their session to have a 50's flair to it and I think we definitely accomplished that! Our location at Glenbrook was fabulous - a private estate with just the right touch for every image.
Thanks again for such a great time you guys! I look forward to your wedding in just a few months.
Brian has such a great smile
From Jennifer's dress to her hair, and the vintage Ford truck - she had the look!
Love this one
You can almost hear Glenn Miller playing!
Another favorite
The pool area was incredible!

Another favorite! Okay okay...I love them all!
Best Wishes,
