If you look really closely, you can see the raindrops!

I wanted to surprise Sally and Marcus with how amazing their engagement photos came out, to get them even more excited about their upcoming wedding (my first of the year!).  The photo gods were smiling down on me that day.  When I arrived early at our Malibu beach location, it was rainy, windy, and cold.  I prayed to the universe for the skies to clear, since Sally and Marcus have grown dear to my heart and I wanted everything to go as smoothly as possible.  Minutes into the session, the sun broke through, and the remaining clouds added an epic quality that matches how crazy head-over-heels these two are for each other.  I’d be changing my lens, look over my shoulder, and they’d be gazing into each others’ eyes without me having to say a word.  Days like this, and lovebirds like them, make my job a dream come true.

A good friend of mine recently came back from celebrating her sister’s bachelorette in Vegas.  Wondering how her weekend went took me back to when we had celebrated her own wild Vegas weekend last May.  I started going through the photos, and came across this shot that I wanted to share.  We were waiting at the bar for a round of shots, when the lighting caught my attention.  I took a few steps back and grabbed this shot before it got too crowded again.  How awesome is my little G10 for holding up in club lighting?  How awesome are my friends’ shoes?  And come on, how awesome are my friends’ legs?!
