Jennifer & Parker Engaged!

Jennifer and Parker are getting married in Chicago so I won’t be lucky enough to be their wedding photographer, but I did have the pleasure of meeting up with them for an afternoon in Santa Monica. They are such a fun couple and they were great sports to put up with the massively windy day we had for their session! Who knew that the Santa Monica pier would re-create the Chicago winds for them? I had a great time with you guys and wish you all the best :) Here are a couple of my favorites from your session!

Just in case anyone from Chicago wonders where the photos were taken :) A street shot with the Santa Monica Blvd. sign!

Thank you Jennifer and Parker for being such good sports and putting up with the freezing wind, you were real troopers and it certainly made my job easier. I hope you have a fabulous wedding in Chicago!

Jennifer & Tim Engaged!

Jennifer & Tim are such a sweet couple! When they contacted me and said they wanted to do a session at the beach, I immediately knew I wanted to go to Santa Monica to take advantage of some of the fun bright walls around the pier, plus the amazing sunset cliff locations. I was so happy that they agreed to have their session near the pier because we ended up getting so many fun looks out of one afternoon and one location! As always after a super fun session I had trouble picking my favorites, but here are a couple of the standouts :)

First up Jennifer looking gorgeous. I think it’s impossible to take a bad photo of this girl ;)

Going for a little walk down the pier, I loved Jennifer’s adorable dress!

Next we headed down to the beach … we had an absolutely gorgeous day with sunny blue skies!

And what’s the fun of a visit to the pier if you don’t make a stop under the pier as well? I loved the look of the light coming in through all of the columns.

Jennifer wanted to make sure that they got some sunset photos as well so once we finished up taking some photos down on the beach we headed up to the park along the cliffs. We had a while to spend before the “official” sunset, which is the best time of day for the warm and glowy light that graces the beaches here every afternoon.

It was a good thing we stuck around because the sunset was gorgeous! I do love a sunset silhouette :)

Jennifer and Tim it was SO great to meet you! Thanks so much for coming out to Santa Monica to meet me, and for waiting so patiently to see your photos while I tackled my crazy weekend ;) . I am so excited for your wedding in May, I’m sure it’s going to be beautiful!

Sneak Peek: Jennifer & Tim

I had a great engagement session this afternoon with Jennifer and Tim! They are such a sweet couple and we had a great time roaming around Santa Monica all afternoon. Jennifer is absolutely adorable and SO excited to see her photos, so I decided to post a little sneak peek this evening for her :) I have a VERY busy weekend coming up with weddings and engagements, so I might not get the rest of these up until Monday (sorry Jennifer!!) so I hope that these three will tide you over until then!
