Jenny is a natural at posing.  I only had to give her a general idea of my vision and the rest was totally hers to own.

Some images, like the candid  capture below, was totally spontaneous. The pose is just the way Jenny choose to balance herself after putting on her ear rings.

I wasn’t sure if the pipes below were sturdy enough to support all those diamonds! :)

I was so lucky to discover the speech below written by Jenny’s niece. It was precariously hanging off the table. It wasn’t there very long because it quickly disappeared a few moments after the photograph was captured.

The Chart House is a beautiful venue with plenty of light coming through all the windows. I had to trust that my exposure was correct, because all that light does a number  on the camera’s histogram. With all the glare, you can forget about visually inspecting the the back LCD screen too. The photographs come out awesome if you can correctly nail the exposure.

Jenny & Chris:Abalone Cove Engagement

I spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Rancho Palos Verdes at the Abalone Cove with Jenny and Chris for their engagement session. The weather was in the mid- 80s and breezy. The beach is a park and ecological reserve teaming with starfish, crabs, urchins and fish. I did not see any abalone though.

Jenny and Chris will be getting married on Oct 25 at the Chart House  in Redondo Beach. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding.

The photograph below is one of my favorites from the session. The composition and their smiles are just pefect.

I noticed this little ledge on our hike back up the trail. You can really miss this little gem while huffing and puffing your way up. I jumped down low, careful not to tumble all the way down, and snapped this photograph of Jenny’s awesome red shoes.
