SEARCH THE BLOG
Well, well, well...after taking a week and a half break from the real world to celebrate Christmas I have a TON of blogging to catch up on, so be prepared to be bombarded by blog posts from us in the next few weeks!

Nicole + Rich make handsome couple and plan to tie the knot in April of 2009. We shot their engagement session at The Mission in San Juan Capistrano. This was my first time shooting at this location and loved the set up!

Nicole's make-up was done by my ever-talented sister Nicole DeAnne.

Are you two feeling ok? Cause this post is SICK! hahahaha, I'm re-writing pick up lines as we speak. Did you ride the short bus today? Cause these pics are ret...umm, might be too much, huh? Did you pull off a backflip on a GT bicycle? Cause you are frickin RAD! (love the 80's, i was born in 80). I was just wondering if you could be the guest speakers at the first annual Kamera Kai-Photography Dojo expo I am hosting on the very next leap year!?

When I showed up to meet Sharon + Jonathan for their engagement session Jonathan pulled out his guitar, I thought it was awesome and such a great prop to add to their engagement photos! Especially since during their courtship (now there's a word I got from my mom:)!) Jonathan played the guitar a ton for Sharon and it became on of her favorite things about him. So sweet!

Also, also, Sharon's beautiful hair and make-up was done by none other than THE Nicole DeAnne!

sometimes you see two people together and you just smile. sharon & jonathan are one of those couples. you captured their affection perfectly. i love the b&w "grass view" shot. there's also something about the very first shot that is just so classic -- i think this is one they will look back on til their old and grey with fond memories.

You know what I like about december being closer than ever before is, It remains to be true until it's here. Every day we get closer than before, until Jan 1. Then every day is getting farther away until the exact middle of the year, then it gets closer again. Hmm, good thing I didn't say that out loud. Pretty lame. Anyway, I'm pretty sad that you started putting logo watermarks on all your pics, because I've been getting weddings on a different blog by showing images I stole from yours. It's worked great until now. I'm just not as good. A photographer zero, with no calories or sugar. hahaha. Love the pics you guys! You continue to amaze me byte by byte. My favorite Photograph of this shoot was the ring shot...(that was a pre-emptive pat on the fanny for the future ring shot)
