Brie & Matt-Spread the News! Long Beach Engagement Photography

Last weekend we headed up to Long Beach to meet Brie & Matt for their Spread the News session! Long Beach has a lot of significance for them, so it was the perfect place to shoot at... and it really was! The weather was gorgeous, the buildings were awesome, and the sweet interaction between these two all made for a great time!

So on to the images...

Talk about a flock of seagulls!
See what I mean about the buildings? Rad huh!?!

They also love to golf together, so they brought their clubs for some fun shots.

Brie & Matt- We had a great time hanging out and we are looking forward to your wedding next spring!

I decided to enter an image from my recent shoot with my good friend Aaron (full blog HERE) into this weeks I {heart} faces contest. Sarah and I are HUGE sun flare fans and I was pretty proud of this shot I captured in Joshua Tree at sunrise.

Feikema Family-Huntington Beach Lifestyle Photographer

For one of our Fall Session days we headed out to Huntington Beach where we spent the day with 5 great families! It turned out to be a beautiful day, and we even had a cool random meeting. One of our clients was running late, so we sat down on the grassy area by the pier, and a couple who had just gotten engaged that morning sat down right behind us. I noticed her really sparkly ring, and we got to chatting. They are totally cool, so hopefully we'll be hearing from them once they get their plans in motion. Now back to the shoots...

The Feikema family was a total blast to shoot. The kids surprised the parents with the session for Christmas... great gift if I must say so! So they had a bit of an extended session and here are the highlights...

How cool are they?

Love this moment!

The girls were total hams!fun shot by Derek.

I thought it might be fun to give them all bubble gum, but apparently Bubblicious is hard to make good bubbles from, but at least we had a lot of laughs trying.

You can see this one pop in Hannah's face.

Thanks for having fun with us Feikemas!
