Jeannette and Al's Engagement Session

Jeannette and Al opted for a Venice Beach and Malibu Beach Engagement session. Jeannette was so brave, I told her we could change the date because the weather looked "ify"!!! She said, "Let's do it anyways!" Some of the following photos are the result. Their pics turned out so cool. I could only BLOG some, but there were literally about 100 really good shots.
When we got to Venice Beach it was windy and a bit cold, but we had fun. Al is such a sweetheart and so easy going. It was wonderful through the afternoon to see their personalities unfold. Once we got in the car and headed up the coast to Malibu....the wind really started kicking in. As a photographer, I thought, "Oh my Lord!!! What are we instore for? This is horrible. How am I going to shoot this couple in ALMOST hurricane type weather?" It was BLOWING HARD! AND it was soooo COLD! We headed up to El Matador and then decided to turn around and head back to Zuma. One of the benefits of the cold windy day was that there were NO people on the beach!!!! Jeannette was shivering, I couldn't believe we were doing this. We stepped out onto the beach with blankets wrapped around Jeannette. Our first stop, a lifegaurd stand. "ok you two, hop up, leave the blanket with me. Let's shoot!" Up they went and as cold as it was, they both were having so much fun and their love warmed things up. I and I think you too, will be able to see the true fun they were having. There are some shots with the blanket to try and warm Jeanette up...but she was a real trooper in her beautiful chiffon dress. What memories they will have of this afternoon and the weather behind the pictures! FUN!!!
