Zot, Zot, Love! An Engagement Shoot at UC Irvine with a Furry First Mate
Love bloomed amidst the halls of UC Irvine for one Anteater couple, and their recent engagement shoot captured the magic of their alma mater and their budding future. A + R chose the picturesque campus, where their love story began, as the backdrop for their special photos, and their furry companion, added a paw-sitively adorable touch.
A Campus Steeped in Memories
For many UC Irvine alumni, the campus holds a special place in their hearts. It's a place where dreams take flight, friendships solidify, and love stories unfold. For A + R, it was the setting for countless shared moments, from nervous first glances to stolen kisses under the Tech Building Arbor. Their engagement shoot wasn't just about capturing stunning visuals (although the campus is undeniably beautiful!), it was about celebrating the very foundation of their relationship.
Picture Perfect Spots: From Aldrich Park to the Aldrich Library
The possibilities for engagement photos at UC Irvine are endless, and we took full advantage of them. Aldrich Park, with its sprawling lawns and majestic willow trees, provided a timeless backdrop for playful moments and romantic close-We then strolled through the Aldrich Library, adding a touch of elegance with the library's grand architecture and warm lighting.
Beyond the Campus: Boba Bliss at [Boba Shop Name]
No Southern California engagement shoot is complete without indulging in the local boba tea obsession! We ended our day with a pit stop at their favorite boba shop, Cha. (This is where I had my very first boba experience!) Sipping on their favorite drinks and sharing sweet laughter with their adorable pup by their side resulted in some truly candid and joyful photos.
Tips for Your Own UCI Engagement Shoot:

Embrace the Anteater spirit: Incorporate subtle nods to the campus in your photos, whether it's wearing UCI colors or posing in front of iconic landmarks.
Don't forget your furry friend: If you have a pet, include them in your shoot! We love having your pets participate.
End with a sweet treat: Make the session personal and unique to you as a couple. For A + R, we captured the essence of SoCal by including a fun boba moment!
