Paul & Neda {engaged!}

June 25, 2010 – 10:06 am

I cannot tell you how much I absolutely love all of these images. Paul and Neda are two of my favorite people of all time. Paul is one of Ben’s best best friends from way back when and Neda is his super awesome fiance. They live in Texas but came out to pay us a visit and I was over the moon when they asked me to take some engagement photos for them. I was secretly hoping I might be able to take one or two but to have them ask me to do a whole session?! YAY!

We headed out to one of my favorite beachy spots just in time for sunset and with all of the beautiful southern California wildflowers in bloom. Photographer heaven! I had so much fun and I just love that their happiness is spilling out of each and every one of these. I feel like I can hear them laughing just by looking at the pictures. Here are a few of my favorites.

Paul and Neda thank you SO much for asking me to do this session for you. I had such a blast! I cannot wait for your wedding!!

Sneak Peek: Alison & Branko {engaged!}

April 20, 2010 – 2:18 pm

I cannot get enough of this couple or their engagement session. If it were possible for me to marry an engagement session I would choose this one. Well of course there are a few problems with that – first off I’m already married (hi Ben!) and second I don’t think you can marry a photo shoot – but you get the idea. I LOVE these images and I loved working with this couple. They were an absolute blast. Normally my sneak peeks are only one or two images but this one is going to be 3 because I just couldn’t choose. More soon.

Jenny & Jeremy {Engaged!}

August 19, 2009 – 10:01 pm

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?

I love how they make each other laugh

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!
