So, technically, these are not engagement photos as Anthony & Sierra are not engaged. However, it is hard to deny that they really do look the part. When we met, Anthony was standing there in his strapping suit next to Sierra with her amazingly fresh Kate Spade dress & he calmly and casually mentions that while they may have dressed for an engagement session, could I perhaps do all that I could to make their photos not look like that, but rather, just a boyfriend and girlfriend having a good time.
Hmmmmm.
Oh, Anthony. You silly goose!
I love this location & a lot of my clients do as well. This secluded little bridge is to die for!
I had my assistant & second shooter Jenna with me that afternoon & after about 10 minutes of shooting, I had to admit to this adorable couple that their photos were going to come out looking incredibly engagement-like & they should just embrace the cheeserific-ness of it all. Somehow we came up with the brilliant idea to slip Jenna's wedding ring on Sierra's ring finger, just for a second of fun & what resulted was one of my favorite images from the entire session!
Sierra thought the whole thing was just a little ridiculous...
Obviously!
Next we were headed to the beach, but on the way back up to the car, there was this tiny field off the side of the road with the most amazing light ever. And then this happened...
It was a perfect day in Monterey. The weather was unseasonably warm & there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
A definite Fave!
Anthony & Sierra,
Jenna & I had so much fun with the two of you!
Your energy is contagious & it made me feel young again. If only for a short while.
xoxo,
Jess.
