Well well well, here we are again at the start of the week and guess what? I’m not exhausted! Why? Well, because yesterday…..wait for it….a miracle happened…we had the day OFF. WHAAAAT? I know hard to believe but I don’t tend to tell lies so you  can trust me on this one! Rico and I slept in, sat around the house, painted some walls, hung out with some lovely peeps at the Station in South Park (Happy Birthday Austin!), and basically just chilled out the entire day. It was just what we needed too, that’s for sure. Before yesterday our weekend was full of shooting but our clients are amazing so it didn’t feel like work (Tina & Alex, Traci & Erik..we <3 you!). So here I am listening to Bon Iver’s new album and feeling extra inspired…I love today.

In celebration of this inspiration I was thinking we’d share with you a couple that really does it for us in that department. Friends, I have for you Eunice and Dan’s engagement session. This couple is rad. That’s just the simple truth. Oh yeah, and photogenic (don’t deny it Eunice, you know it’s true!), and have excellent taste, AND are probably the NICEST people I’ve ever met. And if they didn’t live all the way over in NYC I’d be bugging them every day to come have mules with me at Starlite to talk about design and photography and financial analyzing (oh wait, probably not that…sorry Dan!). They flew out to San Diego for the weekend and we met up with them in La Jolla to take some pics, then headed over to Starlite to top it off and man, was it heavenly. I know I say this a lot but good images TRULY are a product of the collaboration between us and our couples. We work together and inspire each other, and these two are a prime example. Eunice and Dan, thank you for being some serious rad, for allowing us a peak into your relationship and having complete trust in our vision. We adore you and I meant it when I said I wish we could have many mule nights so next time you’re in SD, it’s a done deal.  xoxo

Oh yeah, and check back with us after their August wedding because it’s going to be epic, what with vendors like Sitting in a Tree Events, The Floral Lab, and DJ Austin Hendrix how could one not be excited? Mmmmmm….so good I can almost taste it. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…ok enough of me, enjoy the pics!

And BAM it’s Monday again, just like that…and hello to all you lovers! Did you all have some fun weekending the last two days? Any good father’s day celebrations? Rico and I had a lovely late dinner with the pops last night (fried artichokes…oh yes). It was the perfect end to a fantastic weekend of shooting with some rad peeps…congrats to Jaron and Jen on your beautiful wedding (WE LOVED our thank you CD!). That was Saturday, and then yesterday we stopped of at our fave vegan cafe, Flore Vegan in LA before heading back to SD where we spent some time with two adorable engaged peeps David and Jenn…MUAH! Oh, and we also accomplished our first house project, painting the office! We may not have unpacked even ONE box yet but at least we’re no longer working in a dark brown office (go us!).

And because I know you just LOVE hearing about what’s happening with our crazy schedule, how about we share a little San Fran sesh with you we shot a while back? Sound good? I sure do think so! Today we have the engagement shoot of Dana and Steve to share with you. These two are some serious sweetness AND they were SO patient with me and my crutches (this was the first shoot I did after breaking my foot). We met up in San Fran and spent some time getting to know them and their sweet daughter, and shooting a few pics in one of our fave cities….doesn’t get much better than that now does it? Dana and Steve, you two are a breath of fresh air. Thank YOU for letting us experience a little bit of your relationship and your love for each other, and for putting up with me and my slow going. Your wedding is going to be BEAUTIFUL and your marriage 100x more than that! Enjoy the pics lovebirds!

Hey there my friends! I am going to have to play the lame card today and make this quick (my apologies!). We just got back from 4 days of shooting in LA and have to move our entire house by tonight so just a little bit pressed for time (trust me, I would MUCH rather be writing a long a blog post, that’s for sure!). However, I thought I’d still share a little something from an engagement shoot we did last week of the fab Teale and Justin. Enjoy the pic and I promise a MUCH better blog post on Monday! xoxo
