I was so excited when Angie told me she had been scouting out locations for her engagement session and had stumbled across a rustic barn in Half Moon Bay. Taken with it, she asked the owner for permission for us to shoot there.  It was a seriously fabulous and fun location to shoot!  The colors of the sunburnt hills, the rustic wood of the barn and surrounding fence, perfectly meshed with the glowing, setting sun.  It was so hard to narrow down my favorites!

After the sun dropped, we jumped back in Greg’s truck and headed to the coast so we could grab some beach shots and incorporate Greg’s surfboard.  It was actually pretty dark when we started shooting, but just enough ambient light and my handy dandy video light to help pop the scene.  I love the lavender and pink shades the lighting brought out in the sky.

I’m sooooooo looking forward to Angie & Greg’s wedding next year at Church of the Nativity and Family Farm.  These two are so in love & so much fun to be around.  I feel like I can’t take credit for the shots – they are just too easy to photograph!

Here are some faves from the session & for even more, view their slideshow!

Angie & Greg, thank you so much for inviting me to capture both your engagement session and upcoming wedding! I’m so looking forward to next year!
