Jordan + Laura | Palos Verdes Cliffs, California | Destination Engagement Photographers

One day while surfing Instagram, I got a notification that someone had mentioned us in a post. I clicked on it to see a photo of a gorgeous ring and the words “Manifesto Photography, can you do my engagement and wedding pictures pretty please.” And that’s how I first met Laura. The sweetest, skull and black leather loving girl you’ll ever meet.

Jordan and Laura first met during their high school days while Jordan was playing for the Windsor Spitfires. They now reside in Los Angeles, California where Jordan plays for the LA Kings. After they booked us for their wedding, we spent some time throwing ideas back and forth for their engagement session. What better place could there be than Los Angeles, where they’ve created so many memories together. It was the perfect spot to showcase their life in California to their friends and family back home in Canada.

The session below is part 1 of 3, so keep your eyes out for the beauty to come!

Jordan & Laura, thank you again for bringing us out to Cali for your session! It was great to spend some time together, touring around, and enjoying a hockey game! Thank you for your hospitality and also for introducing us to your awesome friends (shout outs to Zach and Taylor). We can’t wait to photograph your wedding very soon at the beautiful Mastronardi Winery
