Meet Nicole & Joe who are getting married next August. We met up for a SUNRISE engagement session recently, and I think getting out of bed at 4am was totally worth it. In the photography world there is something we call the "magic hour", which is the hour BEFORE sunrise or sunset, where you get this glorious golden light. I had originally asked Nicole and Joe to meet for sunset but it turned out it wouldn't work with their schedules. Not wanting to reschedule and not wanting to miss the magic hour I asked them if they would be up for a sunrise session, and YEP, they made it happen! So excited about these images, I honestly think this is my favorite engagement session ever. Nicole and Joe you have the BEST chemistry, and you make the cutest couple! I CANNOT wait to photograph your wedding next year!!
Seriously, does it get any better than laying on blanket with your sweetie waiting for the sun to rise?
And there's that light!
And more!
Then off to around Oakland for some daylight pictures. Another bonus of doing this was it was much cooler than shooting in the middle of the afternoon in summer:
Nicole you are just gorgeous, how do I end up with all these beauties?
U guys are SO much fun, this is what engagement pictures are about, not being stiff but showing your love and having a blast together!
So I got a new lens, and it produces RAINBOW flare instead of the colored bubbles of light. Oh YEAHHHHHH!
See you guys next year!!!!!!!!!! =D
