Christa and Jeremy engagement session

This is Christa and Jeremy. They live in San Diego, but love San Francisco, and so wanted to do engagement portraits here. After an extensive Yelp search, Christa contacted me (cause I'm awesome), and we made it happen. :)

She loved the images of the Palace of Fina Arts I sent her and so we planned on meeting there.

It was funny because they showed up without a car, and all I had was my 2-seater Honda Insight. Instead of having them cab it to diffferent locations, we decided to clown-car it in my little hybrid. Talk about getting to know people quick! :)

Awwww man, the restoration of the dome is complete and looks great! When I took this image there were probably 10 other people in the picture, but with a little photoshop magic, I was able to make it look like it was all their's.

They had emailed me this picture as an idea of what they wanted. . .

. . .and this is what we came up with. We ditched the cable car option but still got a super cute view of the Bay.

Ginger and Rodel at Yerba Buena Carousel

Ginger and Rodel had a genius idea about us taking pictures at the Yerba Buena Carousel in downtown S.F.

Here they are, they are getting hitched in April at Garre Winery in Pleasanton.

This was the shot I thought of the second they said "carousel". :)

We spent half our time there with me on the ride with them, and then half with me shooting them as they whizzed by. . .

It was fun yelling intructions during each rotation.

It was a great and long (2 and a half hours and four locations!) session. What a sweet couple! I look forward to your wedding guys.

"Hi James!

We saw your blog and we wanted to correct some thing! LOL!! We've actually been together since we were juniors in high school. We just wanted you to know. You can correct it or not... whatever you want. =)

Thanks.

- Rodel and Ginger

P.S.

We LOVE the pictures.. so do our friends and families!! We had a blast during our photo session. We can't wait to work with you again on our wedding day."
