Bay Area dude + Downtown LA gal= an amazingly fun couple. When Joanne told me she wanted to do their Engagement Session in downtown I was thrilled. She grew up around the area and wanted to include her roots in the E-session. They both live up north, but the two were in town for a weekend as Jeremiah was running the LA Marathon. What better way to get him ready for a marathon than to run around the day before and take pictures everywhere! =)
We spent a good part of the afternoon getting lost, talking, and just having fun. With their shoot I wanted to do less formal posing and capture more emotion. I gave them as little direction as I could, *snicker snicker*. I told them to be themselves, think about this special time in their lives, and really reflect on their relationship. Then I let them loose…. They were a bit timid at first, but after a while I could see them starting to relax. They laughed, they hugged, and they kissed… a lot = ). I only heard some of their jokes, some of their conversations, but I didn’t need to. I saw their happiness. I saw a couple…. about to get married in a few months…. scared, excited, joyous, silly. It was a great day in LA.
