Paramount Ranch | Malibu | Engagement Session: Matt + Shabnam
May 7, 2011 | Filed Under engagement | Leave a Comment
I usually find engagement photo sessions tedious requiring extra preparation, ‘staging’ with the couple acting out a concept or a theme, making it less natural and lacking in spontaneity, in my opinion. I was surprised that I thoroughly enjoyed going through Matthew and Shabnam’s photos during the selection process. Enjoyed, like I can’t help but grin during the entire selection process 
. I don’t know if it was because I was reminded of Twilight’s Edward and Bella while they were running around and having fun in the woods and that i find Matthew Edward-cute (can I say that here?) LOL! or because they looked so at ease and so in love with each other. Seriously, I realized that an engagement photo session is fun and meaningful when it shows the dynamics of the loving relationship. I think that is what it’s all about and that’s exactly what they did:)

Our first stop was their church, where Matt and Leah are actively involved. Matt is a part time musician. I got the chance to hear him play the piano while I was setting up. All I can say is that he is truly gifted. He has done some music work for tv and has been contemplating on doing it full time. We then headed off to this quaint cafe; a few minutes walk from church. This was where they first met.
Lastly, we went to catch the sunset at Odyssey.
