Downtown Riverside Engagement | Christy + Scott

Xtina — Wed, 25 May 2011 07:34:39 +0000

Christy and Scott are an adorable couple! I asked Christy to share her engagement story with me so I could share it on her blog post! :)

“Our engagment story…well, Scott proposed on December 25, 2009. We were shopping around for rings months before the proposal so I knew (hoped) it was coming. I had been to numerous jewelry stores before stumbling upon ANOTHER jewelry store on my lunch break. When the salesperson put the setting and stone together I knew it was THE ONE…when I brought Scott to the store to see this dream ring of mine, he said it was WAAAY to expensive and proceeded to drag me to about ten other stores to find a better (cheaper) one, but my heart was set on this one ring!!! Months went by without a word, we were still “shopping” around for rings and although I understood why I couldn’t get THE ring, my heart was still set on it. On Christmas Day 2009, Scott gave me my present…a very large gift bag with a box, not a ring box, but an old ugly cardboard box in it. When I opened the box up, the beautiful cream colored ring box was in it…still not knowing if MY RING was in it…I opened it up and found that not only was it MY RING…but my ring with a bigger diamond!!! Diamonds really are a girl’s bestfriend!!! I think the best part of the engagement was all the work that Scott put into getting me my dream ring…I have the best fiance and soon to be husband in the whole-wide-world…and I love him so much!”

How sweet! I cannot wait for their wedding which is on my birthday in August! :D How exciting! An amazing way to remember my birthday thats for sure! ♥

Riverside Engagement: Hannah + Anthony

I had another great opportunity to shoot with the fabulous Rita Clifton from Clifton Photography! She is an amazing Murrieta photographer! I can’t thank her enough for letting me tag along again! Hannah and Anthony had expressed to Rita that they wanted a different style of engagement photos. So we used a lot of off camera flash and even shot in a bar! :)
