Pacific Beach Cruisers Engagement !!

More awesome adventures of two Temecula Wedding Photographers in San Diego –

So freakin happy to finally get this one up here. Seriously, such a rad couple and such a rad shoot. I am loving that each shoot we do is my favorite.. I mean, I know that’s what happens with art… there is a progression and with each new creation skills are building and getting better. Happened with every band I was in, happens now. The stuff we are coming up with [as compared to just a year ago] is unreal. Looking forward to seeing where we are at this time next year. I can tell you where I hope to be… [like Neo at the end of the matrix, when he sees things in green/ as they really are and stops the bullets]  I wanna roll into  every situation full confidant and aware and rockin like never before. Yeah, Im workin on it.

Sooooo today we shot in Pacific Beach with Karla and Hesh! I first met Hesh this past year at a Scripps Forum Wedding that we photographed for his buddy Justin. Had a REALLY great time over there with those guys and  Im soooo pshyched to get brought back in the mix!  Gonna do it again! Nothin better!  For the shoot today they brought out their new beach cruisers and rode the strip, had a great time doin their thing as we did ours. Loving this more laid back approach to shooting. We posted em up here n there but ultimately let them do their thing. OH, and before I get too much further> this engagement shoot is brought to you by this song, let me explain. heh.

We met up with Karla and went over things + started brainstorming engagement shoot ideas. I like to get to know a bit about our couple and what they do [for a living/ for fun] and see if there is a way to incorporate what is uniquely them into the shoot, ya know?  I mean if you arent beach people lets NOT hit the beach, just cause it seems like thats what people do. Lets instead hit the mountains and go fishing, hit up a stadium, or dress up like ZOMBIES.  Well… after talking a bit it turns out these guys are scientists. First thought that popped into my head was “Amoeba” by the Adolescents+ a science lab, lots of tubes, mixing canisters and beakers, possible chemical mixtures and explosions… love built around a microscope. Awesome!!!  Apparently we werent sharing the same imagination bubble over our heads cause that WAS NOT her idea of the perfect Eshoot ;) heh. Oh well, I guess when you spend all day in the lab the last thing you wanna do is your engagement in it.  Tell ya what, this worked out just as well.

That was fun wasnt it. Got a ton of awesome shots. Here [as bonus] are a couple favorites not included in the set. First is self explanatory, Jessica in action. The second is from the same sequence. As I am on the ground shooting through the tire a few people on bikes ride through my frame. Happened to pull the trigger right as they entered in, freezing the wheel before it crossed through completely. good stuff.
