Engagement 08.01.2011 JUSTIN teale

Yooooo, Monday friends! How are we all doing today? I’m doing quite well, thanks for asking. I had a delicious rice milk latte from Rebecca’s this morning so I started the morning off on the right foot, AND I’m prepping for a few days in Palm Springs with my sister and fam so DOUBLE right foot (yes, it’s possible).  Rico and I had a pretty chill weekend with a relaxing wedding at Bali Hai on Saturday and a fun e-sesh in mission bay last night. I was even able to attend a baby shower of a friend yesterday (you wedding photogs know how rare it is to attend weekend events). So here I am, good mood. BOOM.

Teale and Justin also put me in a good mood…that’s why I’m sharing their engagement session with you today, good moods all around my friends! We met up with them in Ramona for some epic e-sesh action and it didn’t disappoint. We met them for the first time that day and they were just as I had imagined them, easy going, fun, AND ridiculously good looking (I know, I always say it but we do have such hot clients!). Teale is a wedding photographer herself, which always makes me a bit nervous (and flattered they chose us to shoot their wedding…thanks Teale!!), but as soon as I met her I was like, yes, perfect fit. Seriously you two, we adore you both. We love that you have brought us along as part of your story and we can’t WAIT for your wedding..a few more months! xoxo



Engagement 07.18.2011 ZACH chelsea
It’s Monday and let me just tell you from the get go that I’ve been up since 5am (an hour that normally does not exist in my reality). Sooooooooo, I’m sitting here on like cup number 5 of coffee and thinking about our whirlwind weekend full of two engagement shoots, three client consults, and one wedding attended as guests (yes, I’m sore from dancing). So between the consults and the shoots we got to spend time with 10 of our AMAZING 2012 clients…and you know what? I adore all 10 of them, which leaves me feeling incredibly lucky. Just the push I need to address my out of control inbox…yes, it’s a problem.  Thank goodness for coffee and Adele!
Speaking of 2012 couples I adore! Chelsea and Zach! Seriously. Again, how lucky are we? Just take a look at the images below and you’ll see just what I’m talking about. We spent some time with these two up in Encinitas a while ago and I fell in love with them. Chelsea, Zach, thank you for making our job not a job at all, but good times AND for being so patient with my pesky crutches, which are gone now and I’m ready to get down at you 2012 wedding! Day counting begins…..


Engagement 07.11.2011 STEVEN ann

Hey there all you lovelies….how is your day treating you? Better now that it’s blog post time? Indeed. I honestly don’t REALLY have that much to report on the Rico/Rachel front, except we shot yet another rad wedding yesterday in Santa Barbara and are about ready to do a little stay-cation action in Carlsbad this week. MUCH needed for sure. Don’t worry though, I’ll still be answering emails and calls, biz as usual next to the pool. Bliss. Speaking of emails, a little something to attend to. I’m STILL having issues with my email so if you emailed me and haven’t heard back from me it’s probably because my email has decided to launch a revolt against me (it’s had enough of my workaholism…hmmmmm), and I am NOT ignoring you. So either email me again or give me a ring and we’ll get it sorted. Thanks my dears! And with that on to the pics!

Today we’re going to share the engagement session of Ann and Steven to share with you. We met up with these two on a rainy day in Golden Gate Park and together we wandered around in the rain, made them kiss a lot, and ate pie. It was exactly what we all needed on a rainy day if you ask me. Below is what came out of our little day in the park and I must say I’m quite pleased, as I’m sure you will be too. Ann and Steven we cannot wait for your EPIC San Fran wedding in the fall….counting the days my friends, counting the days. Until then, enjoy some esesh glory! muah!
