Engagement Session: Troy + Lia

A very good friend of mine once shared her story on how she traveled miles to America to escape her native Italy. She dreamed big, craved the uncertain and held out for romance, but in the end she married an Italian much like herself. This actually isn’t far from Troy + Lia’s story. Separately, they packed their bags during college to study abroad in Sweden. Perhaps they dreamed big, craved the uncertain and maybe held out for romance.

When they met, Lia knew her heart was set on Troy. Troy on the other hand, who has always been one to base his pursuit of relationships on positive engagement, was slowly planting the emotional seed with Lia that would later bring them closer together….

Lia and Troy are now scheduled to tie the knot next May! It will be an honor to witness and document the love they travelled endless miles to find. Listening to their story reaffirms my purpose as a photographer and gives us all insight on what to look forward to when that time comes. Troy + Lia: I had a fantastic time during our e-session in Santa Cruz. Your love and affection for one another is beyond words. I wish you both a life of happiness and unchanging love. Best, Rr.

Sneak Peaks

It’s been a month since I last posted anything on here. It’s been chaotic (in a very good way) with several projects under tow in addition to wedding season. Some amazing things have happened which I’m excited to share with you.

First, Dijonne + Russ tie the knot at The Marines Memorial Club in SF.

That same night I trek out to Santa Cruz for an engagement session early next morning with Lia + Troy.

Backtracking in time, I partner up with Jennifer Hosler of Candid Moments Weddings to document two amazing weddings.

I’ll also be announcing some news in a later post about RizzaRiz Photography and upcoming events and the skinny on those projects I mentioned. Stay tuned. More good stuff to come! [Rr]
