Karen L. Barnes Photography

Jasmin, Mike and I had planned to shoot their engagement photos in the Antelope Valley poppy fields, but the poppies up and died ahead of schedule. Although we were all a little bummed about missing the poppies, it gave us an opportunity to head up to Topanga State Park. Topanga is awesome in the spring, and I hadn’t been up there this year, so I’m really glad we went. Jasmin and Mike were so much fun and are adorable together, so we got some great shots.

Jasmin and Mike even brought props.

I love this one.

Topanga always has great backlighting.

These flowers are here every spring, and I wait for every year to get a chance to shoot in them.

Topanga always feels so far away from L.A. even though it’s so close.

Thanks to you both! Wedding photos in a few months!
