Engagement photos in Santa Monica

Yesterday I shot engagement photos for Annell and Freddy.
These two will be tying the knot in June and I am really looking forward to their wedding.

We started in Beverly Hills and it was sunny and warm but when we got to Santa Monica it felt like a totally different day... foggy, gray and cold... the light as you can see on this first shot was nice and soft though.

Surprise proposal

Earlier today I shot my first surprise proposal! The only twist was that I was even more surprised than the bride to be cause the groom to be never told me!!!

Adam got in touch with me a couple of weeks ago to 'shoot some photos' of him and his girlfriend for their 3 year dating anniversary. The photoshoot was his gift to Marie but she ended up with the photos + a beautiful ring + a handsome fiancée.

After a couple of hours shooting around The Montage I told the couple we had enough photos and that's when Adam requested to do one more location, so we followed him to this rocky area and this is what happened...


I was looking through the viewfinder and thought it was weird that he was 'posing' and that's when I saw the little box and never stopped shooting.







Earlier in the day...












Hopefully they'll be calling me soon once they set a date! ;-)

Kelly & Paul's Engagement

On Friday I shot engagement photos for Kelly and Paul in San Juan Capistrano at the Mission and outside. It was my first shooting a couple here and I loved it! Thanks Kelly for choosing such a beautiful location!

Here are some photos from the day:

Another Fun Engagement Session

I just got home from a very busy day driving all over L.A. but I had to post some images from today.
I got together with Anyez and Patrick this morning at Point Dume, Malibu to shoot their e-session. It was a beautiful day and a lot of people were enjoying the beach since very early.

Check back in a couple of days for more photos and your slideshow!

The great looking couple








We started at sea level...


We ended up a few feet above...


And as you can see, they left me up there...


'The dolphins, the dolphins!'... we even spotted a bunch of dolphins

Fun Engagement Session in Laguna Beach

I couldn't go to sleep without posting a few quick shots from earlier today. I met Jane and Derrick in downtown Laguna Beach to shoot their engagement session.
They are getting married in April and I can't wait to shoot their wedding.

Of course they couldn't resist getting into the red phone booth


After walking around downtown we went to the beach for a different look.
It was pretty cold out there but the guys (specially Jane) braved the low temperatures and the difficult geography to get all kind of great images
Looking sharp guys!


Derrick is about to fly on this shot

Thank you so much guys for a great time!
