Joe & Meghan - Engagement Portrait

Joe and Meghan are a cute couple with a very specific sense of humor and style. We did engagement photos at Riverside's Fairmont Park and I wanted to make sure to bring a complementary style to their portraits. Just having both of them stand in the gazebo holding hands, facing straight on would have been a little cliche at this point in couples portraiture, but to apply a little of the Brenizer method and include a significant amount of the environment, plus exposing it such that we get some blown highlights around the outside of the gazebo's creates an atmosphere that is a little magical, more interesting and less cliche. The signature look of the Brenizer method is there, but very subtle.

Hilary + Travis - Engagement Pictures on the Beach

One of my closest friends Hilary met the man of her dreams and they got engaged. To commemorate the occasion, we headed to Oceanside, CA to do some engagement pictures on the beach.
