i love engagement photo shoots! when a client asks me how many photos they will receive from my shoots i usually answer with a number between 50-75. it's just how it works for me after all the editing is said and done, almost every time! i think this couple got double or triple that from me~ i was talking to chris about it and realized that i'm so used to shooting families with babies, kids, dogs and lots of people, that aren't all looking at the camera at the same time, that when i had two adults willing to have a great time and try new things my audience was very captive and highly cooperative : ) so....i love engagement photo shoots! i wish i would be asked to do more of them but since i'm not a wedding photographer (most people have their wedding photographer do their engagement shoots) the only people who really contact me about them are people who are having hometown or destination weddings! if you are thinking of having engagement photos please contact me!!!! 

this couple was awesome! we came up with three very different and unique locations and had a blast at all three of them! we started at the suspension bridge that connects banker's hill to hillcrest in san diego. it was my first time there and definitely will not be my last! love love loved it! we chased the sun that was setting to the santa fe train depot in downtown san diego and than finished off the shoot at copley hall where the san diego symphony is housed and where this beautiful couple met and works!

julie and tommy are planning a fall wedding in nebraska and i can't wait to see photos of this bride and groom. when editing their photos i was in awe of how naturally beautiful julie is~ she's probably not wearing much if any make up and her wardrobe choices were simple and flattering. i loved how sweet the two of them interacted when i told them to simply act natural for the camera. we had a great time popping some bubbly during the shoot, writing in sidewalk chalk and playing in the railroad tracks! i hope they love the photos as much as i do~
