before we even got to the beach, we took a few shots off (and on) PCH.

this was a happy little accident. i was crossing behind them and had my camera at my hip and just decided to lift it and shoot wildly.

i sent them down to the sand with some vague instructions while waiting to take some shots from afar.

i joined them down on the beach shortly after…

as a photographer, i get all giddy when a bride is willing to get her dress sandy “for the cause”.

this beach had some fantastic and funky little niches to shoot in and around.

sean drew this gigantic heart for them to stand in. unfortunately, the tide kept washing it away.

we returned to where they were staying that first night. they were such good sports, they stood out in the street for a while to make this shot work. not as much traffic in that spot as i had hoped for. but they were loving it because of how many people gave them the “car honk of congratulation” as they passed. who doesn’t love that?

a couple final shots and it was a wrap…

they were so much fun to spend the day with and i was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with them.

again, i wish you two a life full of happiness and love. from the look of your first hours as husband and wife, there will be no shortage of either!  :)
