With their wedding coming up in November, I recently met Shaun and Jessica in Encinitas for an engagement session. We’d been hoping for a sunset, but instead we got pure marine layer blah. Luckily, marine layer blah makes the light on the beach so amazing that it would have been hard to take a bad picture (which also had to do with my subjects — you guys rock the camera!!!)

And the winners are…

Series-1

I have to kick this post off with one of my all-time favorite portraits.
