“Love is. . .protecting, trusting, and hopeful. Love never fails”
Love is Amber & Blake
I feel like I could put these two in any setting and they would look right at home. We had a blast galavanting through the OC Fair and then, for a quieter, more intimate set of photos, we headed down to Irvine park on the most beautiful day ever. As much as I loved the fair photos, I think I love these even more.
Amber has such a cheerful, caring spirit and anyone who crosses her path is lucky to have met this beautiful girl. We’ve only met a couple of times so far but I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that she takes amazing care of the important people in her life. Her thoughtful, generous ways make it easy to love her instantaneously. I’m sure it’s just one of the many things Blake loves about his fiance. It’s easy to see why they’re together. Blake is such a nice guy, ambitious and considerate with a fantastic sense of humor that Amber loves so much. Being together just looks easy for these two. I’m looking forward to their wedding day next year. It’s sure to be a truly wonderful event full of great friends and tons of love. Ok, enough sappy stuff, onto the photos! I hope you like them as much as I do!

Isn’t this light just yummy!?!
Amber & Blake bought a home together where Amber takes great pride in her mad gardening skills. It’s no surprise that the love and care she puts into everything she does also applies to the plants that flourish at her touch. We had to include a little touch of her gardening goodness.
I’m obsessed with these perfect whispy clouds. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect evening.

Beautiful! My favorite is the one in the field just after the black and white ones. =) I think it is very cool how the sun turned out nice in these photos! But I wish I could see your eyes in the one where the sun is glaring right between your faces. =/
I think you should count Jessie's comment as several more than just one. =)
