mary + leif {love shoot}

He walked her home after the swing dance lesson.
He asked her out on a date.
And that’s how it began.

To sum it up, one word: COOL. Mary and Leif are cool.
I love having clients I could be friends with. In fact, that is how it should be.
I want to be friends with my clients, and I love it when things click.

“We brought flowers.” said Leif.
“We like props.” said Mary.
But the truth is, those are not just ordinary props. Leif has been giving Mary flowers everyday since they got engaged.
That is the sweetest thing I’ve heard.

We stopped briefly at the uber chic Aster Cafe before we continued shooting.

There are so many good ones I want to share, so here’s a slideshow from their fantabulous engagement session. Mary and Leif, the song is for you!

Mary and Leif, I had such a great time hanging out with you (watch out for aggressive cyclists on the bridge!!) and hearing more of your story. I am so thrilled to be a part of your wedding this summer.

Until then, keep laughing. : )

cheerfully,
Ai Ling
