do you have a good memory? remember my first blog post here? no, not that one… the one after that. okay, my second. but who’s counting? anyway, it was this cool couple at balboa… let me refresh your memory:
yeah, that’s them. remember now? okay, good. you may not remember all of the details, but for recap: we went to the beach on the one day there was no sunset. so we made plans for a second day of shooting. the sun was up when i met them, we went over some wedding details, and then set out on walkabout. yes… just like crocodile dundee would have…. sans “big knife”.
we started out along the docks of the bay. oh man… can i try and get more licensing issues to spring up and quote otis redding?
we started making our way toward the beach. just like last time, they were up for anything when i asked them to stop here or there.
by the time we got down to the beach, the sun was behind the upper slice of this cloud sandwich above the horizon. it did not look good, and we maybe only got 5 or so minutes of actual sun-time.
commence canoodling…
once the sun hid behind the bottom section of that (very not delicious) cloud sandwich (that none of us ordered, by the way!), i moved them onto a lifeguard tower for some photo experimentation of sorts.
after some close-ups, i gave them one of two “talkabouts” (yes, we had talkabouts for our walkabout… that’s how i do things…) and headed off with my zoom lens to the pier.
another fun day of shooting with these two. i have gotten a rain check on the sun (is that ironic?) and will use it in the future. i cannot wait to shoot their wedding in october and am not only thrilled more than before to be their photographer, but i am honored and completely looking forward to their big day.
thanks again, you two, for being adventurous and having fun with your engagement shots. in my opinion, it paid off! :)
