February 28, 2010 // engagements

I flew up to San Francisco a few weeks ago to photograph Becky and Errol, some transplants from SD who are working up in the Bay Area. They are representing their town though, as their wedding is on June 19th, or 619! But as has been the case whenever I fly up to San Francisco for an engagement shoot it begins to rain! But we weathered the storm (literally) and came out with some great photographs, see you back in San Diego Becky and Errol!

Beautiful work again! Love the angles of that art installation. Absolutely love the one of them standing on the balcony-thing with all of the building edges in the foreground!

Wow Chaz, these are beautiful!!! I can't choose a favorite because they are all that good. I love the colors after it rains, maybe rain is a hidden blessing for you :)

april + brian // engaged!

February 22, 2010 // engagements

When women tell you they love you, its usually a good thing. But when women who are engaged tell you they love you, its probably just because of your photography, hahaha. This is the case with April and Brian who are two of sweetest people I have ever met. I am unfortunately already booked for their wedding date but we wanted to work together so here we are with their engagement photographs! Luckily, I referred them to one of my best friends Mary Frances of Floataway Studios for their wedding, so I know they're in good hands!

vanessa + lee // engaged!

February 17, 2010 // engagements

Ah! It's been too long since I've blogged! I'm on a whirlwind tour of the country and am now officially parked in the concrete jungle of New York City until April! There will be another blog about my whole experience that brought me here, but don't worry I will be back in San Diego soon! I have been photographing engagements for the last two weeks, a bunch in San Diego, and one in San Francisco and also one here in the beautiful snow in Central Park (click the links for the Facebook image, blogs for these coming soon!)

But here is a fun shoot I did in East county San Diego with Vanessa and Lee. I just want to thank them for following me into the depths of the mountains with no idea where I was taking them, haha, I love the trust! But the drive was definitely worth it!

After our little trek through the woods, we ended up at the Motor Transport Museum, probably the coolest place on the planet.

venus + doug // engaged!

January 29, 2010 // engagements

So I have a certain order in how I do my blog posts, but to save Venus from waiting a few more weeks for her turn, I decided to post it up today so that she won't keep Doug awake with the constant sound of the mouse clicking the refresh button on my blog, haha. So Venus this post is definitely dedicated to you!
