Engagement: Christy and Saul

Christy and Saul were dressed to impress for our session. They looked cute, funky, and just all around stylish. I loved it! Their clothes fit their personalities perfectly. I think I can say without a doubt that we all had a ton of fun shooting their engagement session on Main Street Ventura and off the Ventura Pier.

We started off walking around some of the backstreets and side streets around Main st. Ventura. One of the first things that happened when we started was pretty hilarious though. We were shooting away, playing around, and hitting our stride when all of a sudden an older lady sporting some adorable hot pink Crocs walks by and notices I have a camera. She suddenly shouts "Oh honey! Oh Honey, I am a photographer, let me help you!!" I was completely caught off guard. Not by the attention, if you have ever shot out in public you'll know that people wave and want to chat you up. I was shocked because she immediately walked over to Saul and Christy and reposed them in a more traditional way and then walked off going "oh that's better!" What a way to start a session! We all just laughed it off and went on our merry way. What a way to break the photo ice!

Christy and Saul are getting married this July and I cannot wait for their wedding.

Here are a few of my favorites from their Engagement Session:







Christy and Saul spent the afternoon laughing and goofing off like this, it was perfect!





Saul later lost his shoes to the ocean, an engagement offering?

Isn't Christy gorgeous?
