Yep, I had a heck of a time picking the first look-see photos! I love every single image. Really. I can’t wait to photograph this wedding! In Napa! In a castle! And a cool couple too! AND….their dog is going to be in the ceremony. I’d say these are my kind of peeps. 
We started at the dog park, then to downtown El Segundo. Then the Venice Canals. And last the beach at Santa Monica. I really had to keep an eye on my watch, because I kept seeing cool locations. Or they would do something funny. Or cute. Or I’d catch a glimpse of a something in their eyes. Yes, sir, I’d say these two are in love. With a capital L!
Parking was a bear in Venice. I forgot how crowded it gets, even in off times. I am usually am a great parallel parker, but I was nervous about the sun setting and this spot was on a slight curve, plus it was a busy street. I tried about 5 times. Felt like an idiot as all the locals were snickering and pointing at me and muttering “stupid tourist” under their breath…(well, maybe not that bad, but that’s sure what I felt like!) Anyway, I gave up and went to search for a new spot. Luckily I found one close by…but my tires were about a foot over the red line. I asked the cop on the corner if that was cool. Thank goodness he said yes. Off to meet Rebecca and Brian for a few quick canal shots. Then…to SM!
I know the very best spot to park in Santa Monica, so no parking woes at all. But the light was fading fast. Very fast! At least the clouds were gone and we actually were going to get a real sunset. Another really cool thing? (At least for Brian) The hotel we were meeting up at was where the Oaklahoma City Thunder basketball team was staying. Let’s just say, I had no idea who they were, but felt very, very short. About a dozen of them were milling about while I waited. (It was cool when I found out who they were!)
So here are the few I picked to share first. Seriously, it took me about an hour to chose. Enjoy! Rebecca and Brian, I can’t wait for you to see the rest!
One half of the life savers of Bad Rap. The other half was running around helping me on photo day so I only got a handful of photos of her. (not to say Tim wasn’t helping me….LOL) Go meet them here.
And I’d say Loretta knows exactly who the hero is in this picture. He is definitely her hero. Thank you Tim and Donna for all you do. The world is a better place because you’re in it. (You didn’t know I was the sappy type, did you? )
