This past weekend, we took a drive out to Los Angeles for Luke + Jessica’s at home engagement session, at their beautiful new(ish) home on the west side of LA. Originally we had planned on going to Malibu and hanging out at the beach (which let’s be honest, is never not the best time ever) – but after chatting with them and deciding to do something a bit more relaxed, we decided to do it at their house!

This was a first for us – doing an at home engagement session, and we absolutely LOVED it. It was absolutely fitting to be at home, cracking open a bottle of wine, enjoying their amazing deck (all the meanwhile Ashley is nudging Randy for inspiration for our backyard), and taking a stroll around their gorgeous neighborhood! Even though Luke + Jess are absolute adventure junkies – always outside doing something active like skiing or rock climbing or diving – they are also homebodies, who enjoy a good glass of wine, some lit candles (which smelled so good), and hanging out with their kitty Jax.

They met through mutual friends seven years ago, and it was absolutely destiny – Luke’s best friend growing up was Jess’s good friend in college, and he happened to live across the street. After Luke came to Jess’s 25th birthday party at Happy Ending, well … the rest, as they say, is history! After dating for the last few years, on Jessica’s birthday this year on a trip to Mammoth, Luke surprised her with a proposal at the top of the mountain, something Jess said was “the most exciting day of their lives.”

YET!

Now they’re in the midst of planning what will be the most amazing wedding ever, which is happening later this fall. We got to chat with them a little bit about it while we were hanging out this past weekend, and we have to say: we are super excited!! It’s going to be a beautiful two day Indian wedding, complete with henna and sari’s and the whole shebang … plus, it’s going to be at the top of a skyscraper hotel in downtown LA. You just know that’s going to be off-the-charts rad!!!

We just love these two, and are so excited to share their home engagement session! Enjoy!!

And just for fun, we took some photos with Jax – who was super thrilled about wearing a bow tie and posing for a couple family photos. Haha!!
