Chelsea has an infectious laugh and Jason is a huge lover of all things beer, and well of course Chelsea hehe. I had an amazing time taking their Manhattan Beach engagement photos. As soon as Chelsea and Jason walked up they had the biggest smile on their faces and I felt like I was meeting up with some friends and not clients, gah love my couples! Chelsea looked stunning and was all dolled up thanks to Pure Beauty by Danielle. We started the shoot out by walking around and getting some casual photographs of the two of them in downtown Manhattan Beach. After exploring and rearranging a few store fronts hehe we relaxed for a few minutes and they changed outfits. I was so excited to shoot under the pier with them and use my new off camera lighting I had received earlier that week and boy it did not disappoint! For the first 15-20 mins we had to avoid as best we could a cute little one year old getting his photos taken and about 75 sorority girls in hot pink ooiii. I was able to avoid the sorority and I worked closely with the other family photographer who was down there to make sure both of our clients got amazing photos. YAY for nice photographers hehe. After the shoot we all worked up an appetite and Chelsea and Jason insisted I join them for dinner. Of course I couldn’t say no to that hehe. We ate at a nice pub right by the pier and I enjoyed a delicious burger and a yummy jolly rancher tasting hard cider that Jason requested I try. I seriously love my couples so much and I cannot wait for Chelsea and Jason’s big day next June! She sent me a peek of her dress and ahhhh its stunning, Jason you will not be able to keep your eyes or hands off of her hehe. XOXO
