ERNEST & IMELDA
ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED SEPTEMBER 2,
2007
Meet Ernest and Imelda. We met up
with them in Santa Monica this past Saturday to shoot their engagement session.
It was no surprise that we both ran into traffic out there (they were driving
from the Oxnard area) so we were running a little late by the time we finally
met up. So after saying hello and some small talk, we got right to business!
They were a great couple to photograph, they were up for any ideas and Imelda
always had a smile despite the freezing temperature. They gave us total freedom
as far as locations so we started shooting at the parking structure we were at
and kept on shooting as we made our way to a lifeguard tower on the
beach.....
Thanks again guys, for
hanging in there and being good sports the entire evening, we cant wait for your
wedding!
I think Imelda and Ernest were a little surprised
about shooting at a parking structure, but they trusted
me.....

....this
next photo was taken about 5 minutes after we met....yet, they were already
smiling and laughing....making it so easy to work with
them...




....it
started getting so cold that Imelda had to get to put her jacket on....but she
still looked too
cool!...
...we
stopped at a bench on the way to the
pier....
....i
really wanted to focus on some cool compositions for this session, thats why i
really love these next
two....
...we
finally made it to the beach....both Imelda and my wife Dina were suffering with
the cold
winds!!!
...we
used sand plow thingee as a
bench....
....and
we finished the session using on a lifeguard tower that had an AWESOME blue
color....

composition....but especially the fun they are having with each
other...
