A quiet Sunday at Santa Monica Pier…yeah right!
On Sunday I photographed the sweetest couple, Elizabeth and Kyle. We started our engagment photos at UCLA. No, they did not go to school there, (they actually met at UCSB) but I really wanted to incorporate some architectural elements into the shoot and so I chose the Italian Renaissance style buildings on the campus. The light is great there and it was a beautiful spot to start our day. After a few shots at UCLA, we headed to Santa Monica pier to catch the sunset. Let me tell you, Santa Monica Pier on a Sunday in August….not so quiet! But we used the hustle and bustle of the pier to our advantage and Elizabeth and Kyle were great sports. I had them kiss in the middle of the large crowds and some rowdy tourists kept making cat calls the whole time. It was pretty funny! The day was gorgeous and I had so much fun and we got some pretty awesome shots. What a great way to spend a Sunday. Thanks Elizabeth and Kyle.
Here are a few of our Red Loft Studios favorites.
Oh boy…let the cat calls begin!
Churro break….

What wonderful photographs for obvious soulmates. He is terribly handsome and she is beautiful. I’m a little partial to them, as I’m Elizabeth’s mom.

Viewing your photos was such a lovely journey. It awakend all the sweet inner feelings we all had when being wildly in love and in the process of planning a marriage.
I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face as I went through each snapshot. I’m very happy for you and never ever forget those moments on the beach.
Big Hug,
Helen
