We met Lauren and Mike at the Queen Mary in Long Beach right before sunset. This was where they got engaged, so we thought this would be a meaningful place for the shoot. They are a really relaxed, fun couple. Most of the time, Mike was making Lauren laugh with something he's saying or doing, which is exactly what I wanted.


This is the part of the ship where he popped the question.


The sun was falling on them just right.


They were looking for their home through the telescope.


Mike has the ability to make Lauren break out in laughter constantly.


There are so many things I like about this photo. The cute expressions on their faces, the color of the sky, the blue waters, the curve of the floor, and how the lines converge towards the right.


Even their shadows are in love.


After a hard day's work, what else is there to do besides sleeping it off?
