Dana and Brian are actually getting married this Friday at the lovely La Venta Inn, and I’m looking forward to seeing them again after a fantastic time at their engagement session. This couple is so great together! They are very personable and genuine; I really felt like I was hanging out with old friends. After a quick clothes change, we headed down to the beach with their beloved dogs Mo and Miles who are just the cutest! They all made for quite the little family romping at the beach. I love the images of them interacting with Mo and Miles and Brian’s jumping shot is classic!

Congratulations you two, I’ll see you soon!

So this is how I know I’m behind on blogging, we’ve already done Doyin & Mariko wedding and I’m just blogging their engagement pics! Mariko picked Two Rodeo Drive because she works just down the street and she loves the area, and Doyin had done some modeling so this couple seemed to fit right in on Rodeo. This is a happy couple! I tried to do a few pics without smiles, but neither of them could really stop, so we just rolled with the smiles. Some of my favorites are from the collage in the first photo!

We’ve been excited about blogging these images for a while, it was a really fun day of experimenting with light, and exploring the desert! Marilyn & Jeff were both amazing models. They had no problem looking sexy in the desert, and their getup really made these shots work. They chose the location because they saw our Big Bear session, and they wanted something unique as well. We love these themed sessions, and it’s what we hope for with all our clients.

We’d love to hear your comments!
