santa monica engagement photography | lauren + chad // part 1

 

Bonjour!  I shouldn’t have slept from 6pm-12am.  It’s now past 5am and I’m still up.  It’s going to hurt tomorrow/today. And relieved that there’s no traveling for another 5 weeks.  My body needs time to find equilibrium again.  I was too jetlagged to blog yesterday, so I figure since I’m up tonight, I might as well get a new post up for you all!  This is from the recent teaser I posted before I really have busy week on the next week yes back to college study and closing my photography service for some moment… Either way, here’s my first engagement session shot almost entirely in film.. tomorrow i will shoot for the second part for lauren and chad! so so so cant wait, and share to you all!


 Lauren and Chad live right by the beach and enjoys riding their bike together and playing their favorite board game, scrabble.  They rode their bike to meet me for this shoot, and when I saw them roll up in that red tandem bike, I knew we were going to have some fun with it!



Aren’t they just so cute together?  Their chemistry is really evident.


Lauren has the most beautiful smile.



From my teaser:


Their favorite game, Scrabble!


This image on the right is one of my all time favorites




 asked them to describe their partner in one word, and keep it a secret from the other.  I wanted to surprise them.  This is how Chad described Lauren:


And how Lauren described Chad:


We then walked over and down to the beach.  For those who care, these last few photos were taken digitally.


Stay tuned for their wedding this month!  and the next post for second part of they photoshoot!!
