Only two weeks prior to Michelle and Daniel's engagement session we sat down and talked about their wedding. I met them at their home and showed them my example albums and we talked about their wedding. That day I really felt like we connected. At the end of the meeting they informed me that they will be making a decision by the end of the week and if they went with me, they would like to schedule their engagement session two weeks from then on January 29th. The next day Michelle called me and told me they wanted to book me as their photographer, and I was very excited to be working with them. At that time we discussed their engagement session and possible locations to photograph. After a recent engagement shoot at Sunset Cliffs, I recommended we go their for their engagement session. There are so many photo opportunities at the cliffs that I was eager to photograph there again. On the day of the engagement session, we parked in the parking lot that led down to the beach of sunset cliffs. The first time I was there I didn't notice, but there was a scenic hiking trail that led to a set of stairs that led down to the beach. At that moment inspiration started flowing and that is where the photo shoot began. What I like most about the trail was the long wooden railing and strong shadows created by the sun.
Following the trail to the end, we arrived to a long stairway down to a set of caves and the beach. The tide was low that day, so as we were walking down the stairs I looked to my right and noticed a very groovy rock formation, cave type area. It really would be a perfect spot for a waterfall. I didn't notice this spot on my first trip to Sunset Cliffs because the tide was high. So this was a new discovery for me, and we took advantage of it. What I liked most is that Michelle and Daniele were excited and happy to be at the engagement session, and I soon learned they were full of fun and creative ideas. For example, it was Daniel's idea of them to sit on the rock formation back-to-back. Another one of his ideas was to lay on the rocks with Michelle laying on the rocks with him. It was a great idea and it is one of my favorite photographs. Sunset Cliffs was a beautiful spot to photograph this fun couple.
Michelle and Daniel, Thank you for choosing to work with me. It is already a pleasure working with you and I can't wait to photograph your wedding.
