Amanda & Steve {vintage engagement}

These photos are a long time in coming… they’ve been burning a hole in my virtual pocket just waiting to be shared with you all… if only I could get enough time to blog!

Amanda and Steve are awesome.  Hands down fabulous couple!  They won my giveaway a few months back and I had such a blast shooting their “retro recreation”.  In case you don’t remember the story, Amanda’s parents eloped and her mom wore a super sweet minidress to their wedding.  Amanda wanted to recreate that day with a retro car and a sweet minidress of her own :)   I scoured Los Angeles to come up with the location I had pictured in my mind and I found the perfect spot :) They turned out even better than I hoped and I love them all! Amanda you looked fabulous!

Congratulations Amanda & Steve! A lifetime of love and happiness to you both!

Jenny & Jeremy {Engaged!}

Jenny and Jeremy make me smile. A big squishy goofy grin to be exact. I’ve known Jenny for a long time. Ten years give or take. And she’s one of the funniest, nicest, most awesome people I know. When I heard that she was dating someone who was the exact perfect match for her, the “male version of Jenny” as someone put it, I was skeptical. How can someone be as fun and crazy as Jenny but still be as sweet and awesome and… well… fabulous? But as soon as I met Jeremy I knew it was the truth. These two go together like peanut butter and jelly. They’re only made better by being near each other and I just have to say that their engagement session in Balboa Park was one of the most fun shoots I have ever done. Period. It was nonstop singing, dancing, jumping and smiling. As I was getting in my car to drive home I realized that my sides hurt from laughing so hard, and my face was in a perma-grin. You just have to know that I could NOT decide which photos to post so I went a little nuts. I might even post a slideshow later because I’m not kidding you there are just THAT MANY fun shots from this shoot. So on to the photos…

How. Stinkin. Cute. Seriously… don’t you love them already?

And the action shots! Can I just take a second right now to tell you about the action shots?! I know there are some people out there (not many of my clients though, I can tell you that much) that think they’re too “cool” for jumping shots. I personally think they’re ridiculously fun. Especially if you decide to go for a running, leaping, full body chest bump into a swing around. Now that my friends makes for good photography :) Seriously though. These two are a blast!

This is one of my favorites… Jenny is just a hair shorter than her future husband :)

More jumping. I’m sorry Jenny, your vertical leap has nothing on Jeremy’s. Check out that air!

And oh yes, we took a couple of “serious” ones as well :)

This is why it’s called the “magic hour”… how I love our San Diego sunlight!

Ok… enough with the mushy stuff… back to the action shots. Check out this ninja move. And no, I totally did NOT plan this. Every time I looked down to change a lens or switch my settings these two would be up to something hilarious. I love it!

A few last sweet shots

Sarah & Eli {Engaged!}

Sarah and Eli are ridiculously cute. And don’t worry… I warned them ahead of time that I was somewhat addicted to the word cute, and since they ARE so cute that it might get overused with reference to them :)

We met up in old Carlsbad for their engagement session and had such a blast wandering around to a couple of random spots I had scoped out. These two are so much fun and it was Sarah’s birthday which made it extra fun! These two are a pretty adventurous couple… I was treated to tales of all of the dangerous situations Eli had gotten them into.. including getting chased by a bear! With a past like that the engagement session must have been a breeze in comparison :) They were totally up for anything and smiling the entire time which is just so… dare I say? Cute! With a couple as photogenic as this one I was bound to come out with heaps of favorites, but I managed to whittle it down to a reasonable number. Here goes.. my favorite shots of Sarah and Eli… enjoy!

One of their favorite couples activities is bike riding so Eli managed to talk a local bike shop owner into letting us get a few quick shots on his tandem bike… fun!

Sarah and Eli I had such a great time with you at your engagement session! I absolutely cannot wait for the wedding!

Sneak Peek: Sarah & Eli {Engaged!}

Well I’m back in town… did you miss me :)

I had an amazing week with my sister and her wedding was FABULOUS.  I can’t wait to show you some pictures but there are approximately 200 million of them and it might take me a while to sort through all of them. In the meantime I have so much to post to get you all caught up on what I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. First up is an engagement session that I shot in Carlsbad for Sarah and Eli. They are getting married this summer and I can’t wait for their wedding, they are such a blast to work with! More images will be coming very soon but for now here’s one of my favorites!
