The past few months, I've been using Collages to host my images, after I'm done editing. Well, they have this thing that they do, called Website of the Week. Well, I've noticed lately that they've been checking out my photos quite a bit, and I got an email a few days ago, telling me that they'd love to feautre a recent shoot I did, with my upcoming (this weekend) bride and groom, James and Jen. We did a photo session at the beach in Santa Cruz, and the photos turned out so fun. I was thrilled that they were chosen, and will be featured on the Collages site.
Anyhow, I thought it was pretty cool, so while I'm showing you photos from the shoot with James and Jennifer. I also wanted to tell you about being chosen to be featured. I thought that was pretty cool. I'll post the link to the Website of the Week, when I'm on there. But for now, here are some of my favorite photos from the shoot they'll be featuring.
We all piled into their VW van, with their two dogs), and drove down to the beach on the east side, sort of close to Portola, off of 30th, and while shooting, we were stoked as the sun set, it was probably the most gorgeous sunset we've had this year, and I love that the photos reflect not only James and Jennifer's personalities, but also a perfect, Santa Cruz sunset. This is why it costs so much to live here.

Another fun thing about these photos, is that they're being made into an album/guest book. So instead of people just signing a blank guest book. I worked with James and Jen to create an album, which will be printed and bound by the company I use to create my wedding albums, so they'll not only have a guest book, for their friends and family to write well-wishes and blessings, but they'll also have a beautifully printed and bound album of their engagement photos, as an heirloom, with all their loved-ones writing all over it. If you're one of my future, or present brides, and are interested in something like this, let me know, and I can show you a sample.
A few more of my faves, after the jump...
