Ok....so I was going to start doing some posts on weddings from throughout this season (that I fell behind on due to my own wedding, which will also be posted soon). They're from the last couple months, so I know that in theory I should be posting about those to catch myself up blog-wise. But I just uploaded a superawesomeandamazing engagement session gallery from a shoot I photographed just a couple weeks ago, and I'm so excited about it I just HAD to post about it! I know you understand....
Gia and Ken are getting married next year at the oh-so-fabulous Hollins House (great views, gorgeous setting...always a blast to photograph there!), and they were hoping to do their engagement session during the fall. So, after a fabulous brainstorming session, we decided to start off in downtown Santa Cruz (fun, vibrant, sassy), then work our way to Wilder Ranch (rustic, rural, equally sassy!). I LOVE photographing engagement sessions in a variety of locations...you get such a diverse selection...plus, who doesn't love a couple wardrobe changes? In the process of editing for this blog post, trying to narrow down my favorites was almost painful because I LOVED so many of the images we captured!!! Sooooo, I've decided to dive it into 2 posts! Double the awesomeness!!!
Up first....Fun and sassy downtown Santa Cruz!!!
I love this shot so much, I wanted to hug my monitor while I was editing...
Bless these guys...I'm sure they thought I was nuts when I was having them run up and down these stairs to find the right angle lol
You know what's cool? Asking clients if they're down to hang out on the ground for awhile and having them go "Hell yea!" ....*sigh!*
We stumbled onto this odd yellow building...I love roaming around and finding new treasures!
I had stumbled upon this alleyway/hallway/corridor a couple days before this shoot and I just HAD to photograph there!
purple+yellow+random neon sign = coolness beyond comprehension.....
Ok...that's enough awesomeness for now! Just you wait for round 2!!!
Omg! This is amazing! I am so excited for the wedding I can hardly contain myself! I am going to get the best sister in the world! These pictures are beautiful! I can't wait to see the rest!
