Phew, what an AWESOME weekend… although I didn’t pick up the camera once – gasp!

My girlfriend Maya and I just relaxed and enjoyed the amazing weather in So-Cal. I’ve been so busy lately with RSP, work, and putting my old ‘71 C10 up for sale that it felt good to slow down for a bit. I guess it was a little bit of a prep for the vacation (!) that we’re taking tomorrow up to Oregon to hangout with Maya’s family and see where she grew up. I can’t wait to see how green it is up there and adventure around their city and mountains surrounding it. Good fun!

So… look out for a ton of photos from that trip, and some more engagment sessions before a wedding on the 20th. Hope everyone had a great weekend! Oh, and the above photo is a quick shot I took of the family room in my apartment, complete with my record player, a painting I did a little while ago, and the old Sony TV that should of been replaced a year ago (or more).

Ok, onto the photos…

After rocking out this outfit, they changed into their dressy outfits. I loved that they both used red in their outfit! So cool.

It’s funny, in-camera I didn’t know if this composition was going to work, but I LOVED how the arch below ended being positioned behind them.

We got a bit lost on our way into the shopping center area, and happened on this cool staircase. We liked all the texture, so we grabbed a quick shot before a janitor came through looking at us like we were crazy.

It started getting dark, so I broke out the flash to get some shots back in this little alleyway.

These are my favorites from the entire session. Love how relaxed they are at this point… just hanging out together.

The last shot we got right before we left. The shopping area had all these great cafe lights, and anyone that knows me, knows how much I LOVE cafe lights. I think they just add a great ‘feeling’ to any area you string ‘em up. And, I think they did just that for these two love birds. Thanks again Ryan & Linds.

Please leave a comment if you enjoyed this session, or email me through the contact form above if you’d like to have your own photoshoot. Although I focus on wedding and engagement pictures, I really enjoy taking photos of couples in love at any point in their relationship.

Well, it’s still raining, but it turns out that’s a good thing! I’ve been SUPER productive this weekend working on RSP stuff. From contracts to a total re-work of all of Eric & Anna’s engagement session photos. You can see their new edits (and new photos) here or sit back, grab a coffee and enjoy the slideshow above.
