Nico and Dana Engagement Shoot

Just before Christmas, I had the pleasure of shooting Nico and Dana's engagement images. They're getting married up in Berkeley in September, but were in town over the holiday so we thought it would be great to squeeze in a little shoot amidst the standard holiday chaos. The shoot started underneath the marquee of the landmark La Paloma Theater, then ended at every Encinitas kid's home beach, Moonlight Beach.

I've known Nico since the 7th grade and he's one of kindest, talented people you would ever want to meet. After high school everyone goes their separate ways, but Nico and I would always hook up through mutual friends and have a great time. The last time I saw Nico and Dana was a few years back while playing a round of golf, and Nico rear-ended his and Dana's cart into the back of another cart, sending Dana into the vinyl windshield. Luckily, everyone was okay (except for a few bruised egos).

Anne and Dave

I photographed Anne and Dave's engagement session just before I left for the UK and I didn't get a chance to post them to the blog until now. Spent an afternoon last weekend with Anne, Dave, and their dog "Blackie" in Coronado. It was a little windy and crisp, but the light was great. Anne and Dave were really open to cool ideas and got more of a workout than they bargained for ;)
