Engagement Session – San Jose Photographer

I did things backward here. I am sharing the Engagement Session of Shannon and Ian and it’s been a long while. We had a great time, the day was beautiful and they are just a beautiful couple. It was really sweet to see Shannon look into Ian’s eyes and the way Ian was just so loving and gentle. Aaaahhh, {Young Love}.

More to come…

Mark & Debbie Engagement

Yes, I am doing things a little backward here. This fun couple, Mark and Debbie, married on July 10 as you can see from the wedding images I already shared in the previous post.
I sit at my computer to go through the hundreds and hundreds of images to pick and choose the best of the best for each bride and groom. It takes me hours upon hours after each selection, then to edit each image for an even better color and crop or what have you. After each wedding or portrait session, the last thing I want to do is sit at the computer to again, copy, resize, watermark, upload etc… to each private gallery for the couple to see and share. Don’t get me wrong, I want to share my images with all of you but I just hate the “sitting at the computer” part. I’d rather just be able to shoot, shoot and shoot some more!

Here are some of the engagement images from their two sessions. The first were taken in San Francisco but the wind and cold set in and we couldn’t handle it any further. We set another date and went to Los Gatos. They were troopers – thanks Mark and Debbie!

Deb reminds me of Super Woman here.

As you can see, it was a huge wind tunnel in SF that day.

Things were a lot more calm, happy and gentle in Los Gatos.

Check out that Bling…Bling!

This engagement session took place at Santana Row. Jonathan and Samantha are going to have an awesome wedding from the details they shared with me and their wedding location at the Sea Scape Golf Club in July. Wow, what a beautiful place!! Here are a few engagement session pics. I can’t show them all since they might have not seen them yet. To view more pics, go to my website, and click on FEATURED. I am adding more pics to my Featured Galleries so check back soon.

They’re so cute together!

Can You Shimmee, Shimmee Shake?

Cindy and Kevin are to be married on Saturday but the evening before we started at the the Iron Door Saloon in Groveland. Rick, Kevin’s bro-in-law, was on the mic and had the whole place doing the shimmee, shimmee shake. If you weren’t there then you missed a great time!
