And here we are again at the start of another week. Quite the weekend we had with three engagement shoots (one that was in the POURING rain). All three shoots were a blast though and our clients were troopers with the rain and wet here in San Diego. I really do love rain though, I love how green everything is afterwards…beautiful. Speaking of green, a week or so ago we shot the engagement session of Chris and Vanessa in San Luis Obispo which is like the land of green (not even kidding, proof below). Rico and I love going to SLO, it’s where we went to school so we have fond memories (and bffs) there and it also always makes me feel like I’m in tuscany because of all the rolling hills and vineyards. We met up with this sweet couple in downtown SLO and after a trip to BooBoos and the used book store we headed out to the hills, and some fabulous hills they were indeed! Vanessa and Chris were ADORABLE and never got sick of our constant singing and movie quoting (all Rico there). We had a hard time ending the shoot because of the good times but finally the sun had the final say (we fought hard though, Chris even brought along his vintage lantern he found on ebay). Ok, I could go on and on about this couple because, just look at them, they’re adorable! However, I’ll let you get to the pictures. Chris and Vanessa we think you’re fabulous and we can’t wait for your wedding in San Luis Obispo in May! The hills will be even GREENER then…good thing that’s my favorite color! Muah!

Comment by Allison 03.01.10 @ 12:31 pmLove it! And love the lantern! You could have fooled me with the location though; it looks like the road to Julian after a wet season, especially the last photo with the creek next to the road.
