it is what it is

Before I flew back out to San Francisco, I had the pleasure of shooting Mariel Martin and Keone Madrid’s engagement photos. These two were the funnest, weirdest, most perfect madly-in-love couple I have ever shot. It was definitely at the top of my favorite photo shoots lists. They made the whole shoot so enjoyable, and before we knew it we lost track of time and the sun was already down!

We decided to take the photographs at La Jolla Cove, where Keone planned his proposal to Mari <3 It was a lot of fun exploring different locations around the area, and the ideas just kept coming and coming so easily! I was also very happy that X joined us for the shoot, he definitely helped make the shoot run smoothly =]

We started the shoot at this random grass area that was chained off, but it was too beautiful not to pass up! 

Then I said “Okay, just be yourselves!” Annd, of course they started dancing =]

And putting leaves on each other?

And more laughing =D

Then Coco boy joined us! What a happy fambam.

He would not look at the camera though.

The ring <33

I was so thankful that the weather was cloudy, it gave us a nice, soft, diffused light the entire shoot.

Closest we could get to a family portrait!

Time to climb some trees…

Yes, they are really..really..wierd. Haha, I love it.

I don’t know what they were going for with this one..

Monkey kisses…?

I absolutely loved the happy accident with the heart-shaped puddle <3 It definitely fit the mood.

“Will you marry me?!”

“Okay, YES!”

Love letters & Romantic memories<3

The “Buck Hands”

The “Ninja Run”

“Facials”

I don’t really know..

Beautiful wife-to-be!
