Meet Cynthia and Reggie. I would tell you how fun this engagement session was, but their faces tell it all.

This engagement session took place in the beautiful city of San Francisco. Although I love southern California, there’s something about San Francisco that I truly love. I think it’s the people, the food, and the (cool) weather.

This San Francisco engagement session ended up at Hooters, where we chowed down on delicious wings and watched The NBA Finals Game 6. Lakers won of course.  In the middle of our dinner a fight almost broke out inside the restaurant, and I think it carried out outside eventually. That situation was a very difficult for me to be in because my limited A.D.D. brain didn’t what to focus on: the food, the finals, or the fight. They were all so exciting. But eventually we devoured the food, the game finished, and the fight dispersed, and the food coma was setting in. So we all took a walk down Pier 39 to burn off some of those calories and walk off the coma. Kinda romantic. Haha. I love it. Thank you Reggie, Cynthia, and Jason for making this such an awesome engagement session.

Heres how I see it, there are two types of people in the world: those who like Mexican food and beer, and those who don’t. Erica and Andy are the former, and so am I. I like that. After this shoot we had some good ol’ artery clogging food a.k.a carne asada fries and beer. If you’ve had those two together, then you’ll know exactly how glorious that can be.

I’ve known Erica for a while, we went to college together, and we were also coworkers in Housing. Erica’s known to be loud (in a good way) and very very funny. Then she met her match, both in personality and in funniness. She met Andy… Garcia, oops, I mean Andy Aros, but he kinda looks like Andy Garcia. Right? Andy and I get along well because most of our conversations are about Super Smash Bros (Wii). We had talked about it all day, so finally we played against each other. I won’t tell you who won, but I’ll tell you I was very rusty

Our session was shot at the Ponte Winery in Temecula and downtown Riverside.

Presenting Erica and Andy!

This is what we ate afterwards

This is just a casual shoot with Clara, who is an amazing music artist and who never ceases to amaze me. Even though her music career is six months young, she has already won many competitions such as ISA and Kollaboration 10 and ISA 2009 . She’s also performed at the Hollywood Bowl and at the White House, and yet she’s barely making her mark. In fact she’s just warming up. Her first album is debuting later this year. When it does she’s going to rock the world! Clara’s been kind enough to let me listen to a few of her new songs a few days ago, and they are UH MAY ZING.  When her album comes out I will be more excited than a fat kid with a triple chocolate fudge brownie.

Clara’s one of my friends whom I don’t get to see too often because we’re both busy, but when we do it’s always a lot of fun and inspiring. I am very honored to ber her friend and  to have been able to see her perform numerous times.

One of my favorite of her songs is called Dreaming in Neverland and I’ve made a cool video out of it that involves superman, if you want to see it click on the link above.

Okay, okay, okay! I’m very excited to present to you the engagement photos of Alli and Alex. Alli and I go wayyyyy back. I’d say we were both the few crazy, energetic, funny, outgoing types at the church that we both used to attend. It was truly good seeing her again, and it’s good to know that she’s still the same. This is only my second time meeting Alex, but I like him! He’s a lot more silly than I originally thought, and I told him that. This engagement shoot was a whole lot of fun, and I’m sure you’ll be able to see that from these photos. I was really trying to push for fun, interesting, and out there. We had a lot of laughs just like old times. I loved it.

So Alex teaches chemistry…AND they have chemistry! OHhhhhhh. Haha.

Peek….

a…

Boo! (yeah i know that was kinda cheesy huh? but it was fun)

Some of my favorite, of all time are right here.

I didn’t tell Alex to look away. I think he was zoning out, since this was the end of the shoot. But I loved the way it came out.

And thats a wrap!
