I remember when Derek reached out to me to take these photos and to let me know that he was planning on proposing to Ashley during this shoot. It was so subtle near the end of the shoot, but nonetheless, super sweet and touching. These two just have that electric energy that makes you feel you can do anything. It is so cool how in love these two are and I am so happy that they went on to get married and have their own little family.
I suggested we shoot at CSU Stanislaus Stockton because I was attending there at the time and I was just mesmerized by the simplistic shape design that seemed to permeate throughout the whole campus. Reminded me of a lot of the scenes from tv shows I used to watch from the 70’s-80’s.
