I photographed Leigh and Steve's engagement session up in Del Mar during an unusually overcast Summer day. I think its because they recently moved to Seattle that they had to have the beautiful and soft light that covers the city.
marjoriemay + john / long beach love
Was up in Long Beach a while back to hang out with Marjoriemay, John and their little (big) dude Hogan. We started off at downtown Long Beach then headed to the shoreline for some beautiful light. Can't wait for their wedding in October!
trisha + jeff / los angeles times
Loved this engagement session I did a while back with Trisha and Jeff at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown Los Angeles. They wanted to showcase their cultures for the first half, with Jeff being Filipino and Trisha half Filipino and half Indian, so Jeff wore his barong Tagalog and Trisha her sari. The second half was fun filled with a giant red balloon, I thought Trisha was going to knock Jeff out with that thing. Tomorrow is their wedding day, so come back for more.
chi-na + jesse / san francisco foodies
I headed up for a foodie day trip to San Francisco to meet up with Jesse and Chi-Na. As soon as they picked me up from the airport we went on an eating binge: Tartine, Pizzeria Delfina, Dynamo, Boccalone, Cowgirl Creamery, Blue Bottle, then Hog Island Oyster Company. I spared you from posting photographs from each restaurant because if you read this post hungry, you may get upset, haha. But after all the food it was portrait time, so we headed to Golden Gate Park and the Sutro Baths to some beautiful light. I must shoot better with a food coma.
courtney + blake / beachside engagement
Here's a fun engagement session for you, I met up with Courtney and Blake at Tower 23 Hotel in Pacific Beach. We went under Crystal Pier for a bit then headed down to Mission Bay to play in Belmont Park. It was a gorgeous day in San Diego and perfect for some beach weather.
