jessica & blake, santa monica mountain engagement

1/7/2016

The Santa Monica mountains are well known but because of their proximity to the city, not thought of as much of an adventure. I had driven through a thousand times but never had the chance to pull over and explore with a camera. I suggested the area to Jessica and she responded with, "Sounds great! Drop a pin!". Halfway through our session, I asked Blake if they had ever been up here before. He pointed over toward one of the mountain ranges and said, "I proposed to her right over there". Well, what a perfect coincidence. 

Jessica and Blake are the epitome of style & taste. Each outfit they arranged was seemingly thrown together so easily but photographed like a dream. If these two look like they did well in front of the camera, you're correct. There was never a single "what do I do with my hands" moment, not to mention the freezing cold temperatures that they braved toward the end of the shoot. 

I love the more serious tone of this session. It was a bit more editorial and less "smiley" - even though they couldn't help but laugh and smile half of the time. Adventuring and wandering with my couples is the best - we get to see new places together and get to know each other while we explore. Jessica and Blake were the perfect couple to photograph in these hometown mountains and I am so happy for them. Congratulations, you two!
