Ally + Howard: Romancing at the Boardwalk (Santa Cruz, CA)

Santa Cruz was a special place for Ally and Howard - it was where they first officially dated. That's why they picked the same location for their engagement photo shoot, so they could reminiscent this important day and to have the special moments captured.

It was a super warm day at the Santa Cruz beach and boardwalk and the place was packed! But we still managed to get some fun shots in the crowd! We then stopped by the Natural Bridges, and Howard re-enacted his proposal to Ally. It was as impromptu as it appeared, and Ally was just as touched and surprised!

We completed the photo shoot with a frame of the sweet couple by Howard's other 'love' - his Nissan Z. It was a fun shoot with this cute couple, and I am very much looking forward to their wedding!

Tiffany + Hilary: A lovely e-Session in the Santa Cruz serenity

It's been a while since I've been on the UC Santa Cruz campus for photo shoots. Thanks Tiffany and Hilary for bringing me to this peaceful, secluded campus for a wonderful afternoon. The Natural Bridges State Beach was also a gorgeous place. Although it was a bit windy and cloudy, it was still a beautiful view with many animals as our backdrop. Before the photo session, Tiffany was a bit nervous and was afraid that they wouldn't look at ease in the pictures. As I assured them, they did really well in front of my camera, and I'm sure they will look even more awesome on their wedding day!
