We flew back down to sunny CA to shoot this awesome couple we booked a while back. Cooper and Michelle…. are awesome. We met them at their house in Costa Mesa and just explored around some of their favorite spots to ride bikes and hang out. We always love seeing where couple like to be when it’s just them, shooting people in their own favorite places is always awesome, and it gives the pictures some good meaning! Cooper spent all night polishing up their bikes (adorable) and we headed out after meeting their scruffy Mcdoggy dog… a name I gave him in my head. At the end of the night we did some shots at the place Cooper proposed to Michelle, we spent a good while watching Cooper attempt to fly a wooden plane they’d been unsucessful with in the past. But there was sucess this time!

Anyway, the shoot was awesome, the company was awesome… here it is and enjoy! You’ll see them again later when we shoot their wedding in September!

I’m adding this little gem in for Cooper. Just as we said we were finished shooting he busted this out.. that’s right, the head stand.
