Oh man, Monday it is. I wish I could be more of a fan of Mondays…thankfully I have these blog posts to help get me through the day. This weekend was BUSY but a good busy because we were up in San Luis Obispo for a couple of fun shoots. We had a windy trash the dress session with Tim & Marijke and then a wedding on Saturday for the sweet couple Chris & Vanessa. I can’t wait to share both of those with you, BUT you’ll just have to wait now won’t you? It will be worth it for sure AND I have something fabulous to share with you in the meantime anyway. Today I am going to show you the engagement session of Mike & Lauren. For their engagement session we spent a few hours on the street that Mike grew up on in Malibu, on the beach (not a bad place to grow up eh?). We started on the sand in his parents’ “backyard” and then walked along the street a bit to find some flowers to finish with. Lauren was very clear about how un-photogenic she is which, as you can see, is not the case AT ALL, in fact, I think these pics might have photogenic overload! Lauren, you’re a stunner (Oh m goodness gracious I wish I had hair like yours!)…Mike, you’re adorable, AND together you two really are perfect. I CANNOT WAIT until your Malibu wedding in 7 days! Enjoy!
oh yes, even the dolphins showed up.
NOT photogenic?!?!! You gotta be kidding me. LOOOVE her hair. Love the photos you captured of them! You two are so amazing!
