Emily + Gilbert's Griffith Observatory LA Dreamy Sunset Engagement Session

When Emily + Gilbert arrived at the engagement party of their mutual friends, they had no idea what was in store for them. Though they were both introverts and not naturally enthusiastic about evenings full of mingling, they had both convinced themselves to go because they loved these friends and wanted to support them. Little did they know they would find each other and hit it off so well.

The year that followed was full of train rides, long drives and introducing each other to their respective hometowns and families. As things progressed, it became clear to both of them that this was something they wanted to hold on to forever. So on a rainy February day in Santa Barbara, Gilbert asked Emily to be his wife!

We met up with Gilbert and Emily at the Griffith Observatory and had so much fun exploring the grounds and taking in the views with them. Although, to be totally cheesy about it, the best view was the two of them. No seriously, their natural chemistry and joy together was a thing of beauty… just keep scrolling, you’ll see!

We are so looking forward to shooting their Santa Barbara wedding very SOON!
