There's this thing about him. It's a palpable energy surrounding him, like an invisible glow. When Sebastian talks to you, his bright eyes crease at the ends in way that appears he's always on the verge of a smile. And he is. Sebastian and Nasimeh met on New Year's Eve in 2009, but reconnected a couple years later a mutual friend's birthday party. It was Sunday night and Nasimeh made the promise to herself she'd leave the party early because of work the next day. She started the evening dead-set on getting home at a reasonable hour, but her plans unraveled like a spool of twine when Sebastian approached.

The evening passed in what felt like a second due to their connection, conversation, and endless laughter (Sebastian would also say his charming left-cheek dimple helped seal the deal), and left at 2 a.m.. The following week, Sebastian asked her on a date and the rest is history.

The couple will marry at The Island Hotel in Newport Beach early next year, so they opted for an outdoor, nature setting for their engagement photos…

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you: The Dimple.

Sebastian has a way of making Nasimeh smile in an instant, and her adoration is evident…

The day was overcast, but the light was soft and lovely…

Many thanks to Michelle of Details, Details for connecting me with the couple…

I call this the anatomy of a piggy-back ride…

Okay, let's try it one last time…this? Them? Perfection.

Nasimeh and Sebastian, I can't wait for what's in store next year…thank you for the pleasure of getting to know you better…I look forward to doing the same with your friends and family!
