Huntington Beach Engagement

So excited to enter another I Heart Faces contest. This weeks theme was beaches. Yay!

I love the idea of shooting at the beach. It is a perfect location to capture all the different emotions, moods and romance.

Huntington Beach, California was were Andy lived. Canby, Oregon is where Carrie lived. Cursed by the usual long distance relationship, Andy and Carrie were destined to be together. Bonded by Goonies the movie, The Simpsons and the love of pop culture, they got engaged.

On one of the visits out to HB, I was able to shoot some "engagement photos" for Andy. Although they were not officially engaged yet, it was really the only chance for them to get some great beachy photos before he moved up to Oregon and they started a new life together.

It is funny because we almost canceled because it was raining on and off all day. I am glad we didn't because the clouds and the sky were so dramatic I was able to capture this fantastic shot on the coast.


I heart Andy and Carrie!

Nicco and Sona part II

I heart Sona and Nicco.
Sona is the soul and Nicco is the mate. They are meant to be.



Sona is a fabulous poet. Her poetry book is ForGone.
Nicco is a soccer athlete and fantastic story teller. I don't think they possibly could be more in love. Usually I have to coach and direct a little bit, but not them... in fact they were most uncomfortable when we did the "Hi Mom" looking into the camera shots, because it just wasn't them.

We shot at Union Station in Downtown LA and Hotel Figueroa

I was only going to post a few, and then I got carried away. When you see the photos, you can see how that can happen.


























this was one of Sona's favorite shots of the day
