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?

Rock that dress: Nissa and Chris

As promised I am posting more from the super fun and hot session with Nissa and Chris. They were a ton of fun to work with and we got some great photos of them! Nissa and Chris are past clients of the lovely Ms. Charise and she invited myself and a few other wonderful photographers to shoot at their "Trash the Dress" / Day After session.

This shoot was a great example of a Rock the Dress Session. It is an awesome time to get some fun, flirty, and relaxed photos of you and your new hubby without the stress of the wedding day! A great way to use that beautiful dress you just spent a bunch on, lets get some use out of it! As you can see here you don't even have to "trash" the dress, just rock out some great photos while looking beautiful.

Without further ado, Nissa and Chris...































Hope you enjoyed their session! Now break out that dress and lets take some photos :)
