I met Heather years ago to do some photos for her back in 2008. I loved how funny and easy going she was and we did some private makeup shopping a few weeks later. 3 years later she tells me she is engaged and wants me to do the makeup for her pics! I was beyond excited to shoot at the gorgeous new Ritz Carlton in Downtown Los Angeles where I met her fiance John. What a great couple, complimentary to each other in every way ! They will be married in March 2012 in Charlotte North Carolina at the Ritz Carlton so it seemed fit to shoot the pics at the Ritz here in Los Angeles.  The hotel let our photographer Richard Israel who had been flown in from Charlotte for the shoot,  have freedom to shoot throughout the hotel. Here are some of my favorite shots
