Alex & Andrea at Santa Monica Beach

Great company, a great location and great weather made for an amazing shoot earlier this month with Alex & Andrea at Santa Monica Beach. After this awesome experience photographing this wonderful pair at that blissfully warm beach I kind of wish I could do all my photo shoots there! I am originally from Los Angeles and though I choose to live in San Francisco because this city just speaks to me more, I will admit I certainly miss the weather down there. Everything went so swimmingly you could say, that we all ended up with our feet in the water at some point and it just added to the fun. I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding in San Francisco at the end of September.
