Amy & Steve had a beautiful Santa Monica engagement session at the Getty Villa, 3rd street promenade & the pier.  Amy has such a great smile! You and tell these two just have so much fun together!  Can’t wait for the beautiful wedding in March!  Congrats!

Jaine and Damian had a fun engagement session with their dog in Santa Monica.  I love the downtown urban feel of the alley’s near the beach. Can’t wait for the wedding in October!

I had the pleasure of photographing my kick ass second shooter Kip and his wife Davina. It was about time I did something nice for Kip. He really helps me gets through a wedding. Next time Kips going to take some pictures of me and Steve :) After this session we had a fabulous dinner the King’s Head. We had a really fun wedding there the night before and had to come back and enjoy it on a night off with our spouses. Great night, great photo session!

I met up with Jennifer and David last Sunday for a really fun engagement session. Jennifer wanted some beach pictures so we headed on down to the Santa Monica Pier. We ended up finding a really cool painted divider with one of Jennifer’s favorite artists. I thought that was a pretty cool find. My favorite spot of the Santa Monica pier is always underneath. I just love playing in the pilings. Such cool architecture shots! We ended the session up on the grass for some lovely sunset backlighting. I can’t wait for their wedding next month at Firestone.

Kate and Jason decided to have thier engagement session in Santa Monica. We did a monrning session so we could avoid all the spring beach crowds. I loved having full rein of the pier with hardley any people out and about. We had tons of fun playing with all the colored walls, beach, underneath the pier and then ending the session with the bikes. I’m so glad they could take a break from all the wedding planning and just enjoy each other. After all… that’s what it’s all about :) Kate and Jason are getting married in later this year in Palos Verdes.

Laura and David are getting married at the Westlake Village Inn in July. The wedding is going to be amazing. For their engagement pictures we included Laura’s son Franky. We had tons of fun playing around in Santa Monica. It was family portrait meets engagement session :) Franky is going to make an excellent best man. I love all the colored walls on main street so we started out near the Victorian and then made our way down to the Santa Monica Pier. I think I’m going to start doing more of these sessions :)

Dominique and David got engaged at the Santa Monica Pier…. so when it came to their engagement session there was no question as to where we had to do it! They are such a great couple!!! I was really sad that I parked in two hour parking. I could have played around with them for a few more hours! They are going to have such a great wedding! Congratulations you two :)
