The weather was a concern and so was timing the engagement shoot around the NBA Playoffs. Carlos is a huge Laker fan and didn't want to miss a game. All in all, it worked out very well, the Lakers won and eshoot shot.
Betty and Carlos were easy and relaxed and didn't show any signs of e-shoot nerves. Shooting the both of them was a so much fun that we lost track of time.
See how much fun they had.

Often times we want to stretch the lines of creativity and do something other than pose, compose, and shoot.
In the image above, the camera assistant had an orange colored gel attached to the flash head to give a warm look to the couple. Had Betty and Carlos been lit by just the flash alone (no gel) they would have appeared blueish and would not have blended nicely with the scene.
In these days of Photoshop we could achieve this look rather easily but why not try to get it correct in camera. It adds to the fun.
