Heather + Ektor Engagement
May 5, 2009
This weekend, I had the pleasure of hanging out with a very down to earth and fun couple who happen to be extremely in love. Heather and Ektor, who are good friends with Melissa & Dave, commissioned me to photograph their engagement photos. We met up in Orange County at William R Mason Park near UCI, and made our way towards Balboa Beach to finish. They’re getting married next March in Arizona, and then heading to Ektor’s home country of Greece for small reception gathering as well as to kick off their honeymoon vacation. I wish I could go with them to take pictures! (Of the wedding, not of the honeymoon.) They’re such cool people and I really enjoyed hanging out with them. They’re super smart - both have science Ph.D’s (Ektor is finishing in June, to be exact) and completely easy going. To Heather & Ektor: thank you again for the honor of taking these photos for you. Congratulations and best of luck to the both of you!
