i love dogs, all of them. i especially love dogs at engagement sessions! marilyn and marc brought their dog, nikki (great name, i know), along to their engagement session at venice beach. not only did we capture sweet moments between both marilyn and marc, but also amazing photos with their beautiful dog. marilyn and marc rented a tandem bike for the session as well, and we were very impressed with their riding skills. we dared them to try some crazy moves and they did, a few times :). marilyn and marc not only made riding a tandem look easy, but they made our job incredibly easy with their cool style, awesome poses, and genuine love for one another…and of course nikki. we cannot wait for their wedding coming up in july.

erin and adam are getting married downtown. there are so many great places downtown so we decided to do engagement photos there as well. we met up near the bradbury building and walked all around, up hills, down hills, through empty parking lots, and finally finished up at the walt disney concert hall. being in front of a camera all day can seem a little daunting, that is why engagement sessions are so important. we include them with all of our packages because we like to get to know our clients, give them a small glimpse of how their wedding day might be. we also like our clients to get to know us, and even though our crazy ideas seem absurd (in the end see that the final product usually ends up being pretty awesome, i hope!). erin and adam totally got into the groove and were wonderful models! we cannot wait for their wedding coming up in march.







amanda and shaun are getting married on one of the most popular dates of ‘08, 6-7-08 to be exact. we had about 10 inquiries for this super popular date, and we could not be happier that amanda and shaun got it. we met up at the historic bradbury building downtown, and then ventured around the streets. as you can see, amanda and shaun are super fun, easy to work with and oh so photogenic! their jumping skills were out of control and just had to be featured in a composite, actually they are getting two composites because we could not narrow all these awesome images down! can’t wait to see you guys again in june :).
