Orange County Engagement : Kimberly+Steve

She debated deleting his request, but vacillated seeing how she was new to eHarmony. One of her first online dating decisions proved to be one of the most important. Steve reached out to Kimberly and she agreed to meet in Los Angeles for a drink. Steve was first drawn to her smile (he said she lights up when she smiles and you can see the spark inside her), but after their introduction he was impressed with how intelligent and opinionated she was.

Steve immediately noticed how passionate Kimberly was at whatever she set her mind to, but she was drawn to his empathy. Steve has ability to empathize with people as well as care for them in deep ways…he also (begrudgingly) goes to the ballet with Kimberly, so she knows she has a keeper.

They're planning an amazing wedding at the ever stunning Calistoga Ranch this June with the help of Simone Lennon and I couldn't be more excited to document their love.

Kimberly and Steve have been dating long-distance after he moved to the Bay area for his job, but they decided to spend the day in Orange County for their engagement session before making Northern California their permanent home.

An avid foodie and collector of amazing wine, Kimberly hosted a lovely snack just past sunset…

I can't wait to see them in Calistoga this summer for their first day as husband and wife!

Happy Monday!
