lifted: tiffany & joey: engagement 06.14.09
Wow... it's been AWHILE since I've posted something for you all to see. Those close to me know how busy my life has become lately and it can be quite the game of "catch up". But when I say "busy", it's in a good way. Can't really share much now but you'll know soon enough. :) Is that a teaser or what?
So... Tiffany and Joey. It's a long story how these two were referred to me but it's nothing short of amazing. With the help of super assistant Erin Alaine, and the amazing light on this particular day in downtown Laguna Beach, this was definitely one of my FAVORITE engagement shoots ever. This adorable/really good looking couple were amazing in front of the camera! Check out their eyes! For real... too easy. Their wedding isn't until May 2010 and I'm sooo looking forward to it!









my first attempt at light painting... can't wait to get better!


Erin found this amazing old car and... boom. how rad are these?

still one of my favorite shots ever... below.
