Jenn & Mark’s San Juan Capistrano Engagement Session

Jenn & Mark are awesome at being photographed.  They’re also awesome at loving each other.  They wanted to do their engagement session at The Montage Resort up in Laguna Beach because that’s where Mark proposed to Jenn.  On our first attempt, they were plagued by horrible traffic on the freeway so we shot around San Juan Capistrano for a little bit and ended up with just about zero light left to shoot at The Montage.  No sweat.  We knew the importance this place played in their lives so we decided to do Round 2 another day.  We met up, they continued their awesome streak and BOOM!  Photos.  Enjoy!

Sara & Eric’s Wedding at El Cortez San Diego, San Diego Wedding Photographer

There’s nothing like cool architecture, and there’s nothing like cool OLD architecture.  Maybe that’s why Sara & Eric chose the Don Room at the historic El Cortez in downtown San Diego.  Eric is an architect and come to find out, the firm he works for designed the big pointy sculpture you’ll see a few photos down.  Pretty sweet.  Anyway, after the formalities of the wedding were over they got rockin’ and had a great party!  Check out the goods:

Annie & Kevin’s Urban Beach San Diego Engagement Session

We LOVE when people say they don’t know what to do for photos and they need some direction.  Then they rock it.  Geez, what a couple of pros Annie & Kevin were.  They wanted a little mix of urban and beach for their engagement session.  Keep an eye out for their wedding at Ponte Winery in Temecula in an upcoming issue of Nuptials, and e-mag put out by SanDiegoWedding.com.  Enjoy the pics!  We did…..and they did…..win/win  :)

Gavi & Jacob – The Perfect San Francisco Engagement Session – San Francisco Wedding Photographer

Gavi…Jacob…Zelo.  Instant connection.  We hit it off from their initial email inquiry, I think it had something to do with our love for gardening and the fact that they had just returned home from the ultimate gardening vacation in British Columbia which they found through the WWOOF organization (www.wwoof.org).  We may have to look into it ourselves someday  :)

We worked out the timing to do their engagement session in San Francisco the same trip we were shooting Mark & Karen‘s wedding (that wedding will be a blog entry in the near future).  A little chill, a slight breeze and the ever-present threat of rain didn’t stop us from having a good ol’ time with Gavi & Jacob (they even showed off one of their favorite yoga moves for us) and we’ve got the photos to prove it!  We can’t wait for their big day this summer at Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma.  Socks…..prepare to be knocked off.  Enjoy!
