Becky & Brennan


Would you believe that Becky was a bit nervous at the beginning of their e-shoot? You won't be able to tell after watching their slide show that's for sure! This shoot took place at the lovely San Juan Capistrano which is just a minute away from their wedding location, the El Adobe.

The mission was a great place to shoot, great choice guys!

Photo lesson: Time of Day. Very rarely do our clients ever choose an engagement picture with excessive crowds in the background of the shot. As a matter of fact there's nothing our photographers find more annoying than a guy in a white tank-top, shorts, and flip flops walking in the background of a scene. Every bride/groom will want to have their engagement session somewhere nice with great scenery and character. The time the shoot takes place could provide the difference between excellent images from "they're nice, I like em" images.

Becky and Brennan chose to start their e-shoot at 9am. Knowing the majority of the crowds don't start piling in until 11am gave them the opportunity to not only get comfortable (no one watching them) but also gave our photographer a chance to incorporate the beautiful details of San Juan Capistrano without excessive people in the way. The images turned out clean and unobstructed, just what most of our clients want.

Then again, we have some excellent images from shoots taken at Disneyland, Hollywood and Highland, Seal Beach at sunset, and other places where crowds are a given. But maybe we wanted the crowds there for a purpose.
