Rosie & Raj’s Jetway Engagement

Posted on April 23rd, 2013 by admin


When Samuel was given the opportunity to put together a perfect engagement shoot for Rosie & Raj, he knew he had the opportunity  to do something out of the ordinary, something unique and gritty. Why not shoot at LAX?

The backdrop of the Los Angeles Airport provided a great scene for this lovely young couple.

We can’t wait to be a part of Rosie & Raj’s wedding next month!

Love this shoot at Belmont Shore’s infamous “Horny Corner”

Naila was so much fun and easy to shoot with. We’re looking forward to the next shoot!
