If I had to describe a moment when my job was like a picnic, Katie and Matt's engagement came the closest to it. Blessed with amazing weather, I got to hang out with the two sweetest people and the most well behaved dog in the Bay Area, Bjorn. Hope you guys enjoy the day as much as I did. Though the drive was long, I went home feeling so relaxed wishing I could stay longer.
The following two incredible photos were taken by Calvin, my second shooter (yes, when they are free, second shooters love to come out and practice with me. I love the passion). But I really don't enjoy being shown off that much. But it's always good for my clients.
It was truly a blessing to work with Tyler we hadan amazing time. he's passionate about his work and working with us his clients!
(05.18.11)beautiful couple...i love these pix so much
(05.21.11)Traveling by car from Bakersfield to Palo Alto is a grueling drive just for a an engagement session. Just to show how much they love their alma mater (Standford University), they did it twice. I, however, would like to think they made the efforts for my ultra incredible photography skills.
I could remember vividly when we met up at the doorstep of Nordstrom Rack a few weeks back. Kristin walked through the doors with a really bright yellow dress she'd bought just for the photo shoot. The only thing britgher than her dress was that huge-perfect-set-of-teeth smile. I was very sadden that we had to part way just minutes later because it was pouring outside. We had to reschedule the session.
However, God made it up for us with near perfect weather today and I finally get to blog that yellow dress...and that huge-perfect-set-of-teeth smile. Not only that, I was able to hang out with two wonderful persons, Kristin and Ryan. I cannot wait to be there at your wedding at the Palm Event Center.
Kristin and Ryan look fabulous! I LOVE the vineyard shot. And that yellow dress is AMAZING! So happy for you guys :)
