And that is why I have made a short clip about the engagement session, to help answer some of those questions.

 

What I want to add also which I didn’t mention in the short clip, is that it’s a great chance for us to get to know each other better. And that’s really important because come day of your wedding, you’ll know what to expect and not to mention you’ll be more comfortable in front of the camera. What I want to give my clients, is a sense that a friend is shooting photos for them. Just a day to cut loose, have fun and be your selfs. At the same time finding that great lighting and making some beautiful photos.

 

I want to give a special thanks to Vinh & Janet for being such a fun loving couple! Click HERE if you would like to see more photos from their session. Feel free also to leave me comments or questions.

They are getting married in just a few weeks and I’m so excited to be shooting their wedding too. The Grove was so packed that day well because it was a Sunday, but we still shot there anyways and shooting with primes with a narrow depth of field really helped out. Ok I’m getting technical. For my clients that are reading this, in other words I blurred the heck out of the backgrounds as much as I could. We had a crazy fun time that day. There were so many great places to shoot and the lighting there is always amazing. Just as we were getting close to finishing, of course we were finally stopped by security and were asked if we were shooting professionally here. I said no of course and well we shot there for a good two hours before they said anything, so I’m happy for that. We shot some video that day too which hopefully I’ll be sharing that with you all later on, but for now here are some of my favorites from the day.

 

Meet Janet & Vinh.

Running through the Farmers Market.

Vinh decided that Janet needed a foot rub. What a nice guy.

Originally we wanted to have Janet stand in the cart and have Vinh push her around, but we weren’t sure if it was built for that. We opted for this moment here instead. You carts are safe, this time.

It got a little hot and heavy between the caution signs and the mini animal statues.

We had so much great light that day.

As you can see there were tons of people walking by, but it’s all good.

One of my favorite portraits.

And one of my favorite moments.

Yup we got a little silly. They had the funniest baby gear there and I think Vinh and Janet were being to honest?

Enjoying some live music.

I love the way they look at each other.

We ended the day with some more fun in Venice.

And we even had time to build this sand castle.

Another one of my favorite moments that day.

Crazy kids.

I told them to give me a funny face and this is what I got. I love surprises.
