Orange County Engagement Photography Session - Balboa Beach, CA

I am proud of myself on this one (this is Brian) Not only did I shoot it for a good friend of mine, I also edited, lightroomed, photo-shopped, downloaded, and managed to get through the whole process without ANY help from Jennifer. (well, she did let me take her Mark II to the beach but that's it!) My photographer buddy Mike came along too but I'm sure he had to have his wife do the hard stuff for him, right Mae??

Orange County Engagement Photography Session - Corona Del Mar, CA

We met up with this couple at The Resort At Pelican Hill for the first part of their engagement session. Afterwards - we went to a private beach their friends had a key too. When we got there the gate was locked. :( Surprisingly the groom hopped a huge gate to get to the other side - only to find that he couldn't open it from that side either. :( So - we waited for the key. By the time we got down there - the light was pretty much gone. I still think we got some good shots all and all. :)















Love it when they like to get wet!

Wedding portrait photography- our garden studio, Newport Beach, CA

Portrait Photography in Orange County, CA

This sweet bride was married 7 months ago and hated her photos (she got married in ID). I met her because she was doing swim lessons for my two oldest boys. We got to talking and she mentioned how she would love to get some of her alone and with her husband that they actually liked. She had her dress shipped down and we did a quick session. Luckily her sis-in-law used to do flowers so she did a mini bouquet that morning. (Looks great Carly!).

"Playing at the park" Engagement Photography Session in Costa Mesa, CA

This couple wanted their engagement photos taken at the park with swings. When we met up there were a gazillion kids at the park (go figure on a Saturday) - so we took a few photos then headed to a more deserted park. Such a cute idea - I may have to steal it for another couple. :) We are SO excited for their wedding! :)

This couple is SOOOO sweet and easy to photograph. We can't wait for their big day at the end of this year at Tivoli. We had lots of time to walk around - and got some fun shots. We started at the park - then headed down to the beach. Here are some of our favorites. :)

PS - For those that don't know - Brian has decided to help a lot more on the "business" side of the photography. He has always done the shooting - then I do the rest. This last week has been great, because he is dipping his toes into the editing process (which will save me a TON of time if he can master it well). :) Yeah for me! :) I'm super excited he has jumped on board.































I love how she is on her tippy toes!



And to top it off - the groom is actually 7' tall! How cool is that? :)
