Whew! Has it really been a week since we blogged last?! We've got to step up our game and we intend to BRING IT, especially since we've been shooting like mad! Let us start things off with this handsome couple named Danah + Ahmad. So glad that they hired us to capture their engagement session and wedding day. We shot their engagement session literally three days before they tied the knot, so stay tuned because their wedding is next on the list. Danah + Ahmad make a sweet couple and when I say sweet, I really mean it, our experience with them has been nothing but that! So excited to feature them here on the blog:

Is she wearing Herve Leger? Or is that a knock off? either way, I LOVE her outfit. And the photos of course, always the photos, but that's a given :)

i just love your eye. everything you do just has that "other" factor that makes it a cut above the rest.

I love your "take" on this spot. Your style is so unique and yet consistent from shoot to shoot. I shot the same location (China Cove, right?) and I blogged it here: http://blog.christopherwrenphoto.com/?p=845. Amazing work guys!

We arrived to shoot Wendy + Sunup's engagement photos and the first thing I noticed were the huge bouquet of sunflowers Wendy was holding in her hands. I was super excited that they had thought to bring a fun colorful prop to add to our shoot! My favorite thing about this set of images (besides Wendy + Sunup of course!) is the color. I've always told my clients that I love working with color and prefer this over tans, blacks, or most of all browns (fact: I don't own a single brown item in my wardrobe). We shot this engagement session in Costa Mesa and had a blast! We're definitely looking forward to the wedding coming up soon in October!

Awesome photos, but seriously, no brown? It's such a wonderful earthy springboard for colors to fly from.
