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!








just before an army of tiny bugs attacked them… attack of the lawn bugs

This is an old ski lift Cooper has been restoring- pretty stinkin awesome.

scruffy McDoggy Dog… real name- don’t remember.






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.


I love this photo…


this is one of my favorites too

and of course this one… so cute.

these are fantastic! man i love the storm drain ones and the composition of the ones in the sand with the bikes in the distance. great session!
This is one awesome shoot!! Love it! Great all around.
I like this one because it’s really personal, her boots, the bikes, the lift. It oozes themness. Plus she is one of the most beautiful fiances. Great job capturing the essence of this couple.
Just perfect. Here’s hoping we stand a chance at looking this great in ours… we may be a little less beautiful, but I’m sure you can work with that
You guys totally amaze me. Thanks for being.
So beautiful! I didn’t know you two had a doggie! Does Max know??
Take care. Looking forward to seeing you two Sept 12!
