Awhile ago a friend of mine, Lisa, contacted me about a fabulous gift idea. She wanted to get her friends, Lia & Bryan, a gift certificate for an {E-Session} to celebrate their engagement – sidenote: Lisa, Lia and I all went to high school together 🙂 I thought that was a super thoughtful and timeless gift that they would just love – yes I may be a little biased, but come on, who wouldn’t love that right ?!
I met Lia and Bryan awhile back to discuss what kind of vision they had for their photos. They were initially thinking of something downtown – maybe some urban shots and some down by our beautiful ocean. They had gone for dinner at il Terrazzo (my FAVE restaurant in town!) the evening they got engaged, so we thought the little adorable garden nook in behind the restaurant would be perfect as well. That was until Bryan decided to take Lia to Fort Rodd Hill for a stroll one day and after seeing it they knew that’s where they wanted their pictures taken!
Funny enough their session was my second one at Fort Rodd Hill in two weeks. Fort Rodd Hill is where it’s at!
Now the moment Lia asked if it was ok if Bryan brought his guitar to play to her during the session, I was like “heck ya, this session is going to ROCK!” And it did. Not only was the weather unbelievably awesome, but Lia and Bryan are uber photogenic. Like I always say, I have freakishly good looking clients!
We took our time exploring the grounds. We stumbled across some really funky locations that I had never seen before, so I was stoked. Lia and Bryan witnessed me getting all giddy about the yellowish green moss we found, and the wicked brick wall. I have a mild brick obsession, it’s a true fact.
Lia and Bryan it was a true pleasure working with the two of you. I wish you all the best as you plan your wedding and your new life together. And hey … if you need a photographer in Mexico you guys know who to call 😉
PS – Thanks again Lisa for the fabulous gift idea!
