Liz & Dave's Engagement Session {Point Mugu & Westlake Village} 2012-05-24
This was a very fun session! I've known Liz & Dave for years and I'm more than honored to photograph for them. Dave is one of my fraternity brothers from Sigma Phi Epsilon at Calif. State Univ., Northridge and Liz has always been a big supporter of our chapter. They're both very fun loving people and huge sports fans!Our session was originally supposed to start at the football field at Westlake High school, where Dave's father coaches one of the football teams, but we couldn't find the gate that was supposed to open for us. This actually worked in our favor since it was ridiculously hot and extremely sunny when we first arrived at the field. We decide to start with what was to be our second location, the beach at Point Mugu State Park. When we got to the beach Dave was telling me how they love to come to this beach since it isn't well known and and they can watch the waves crash into the rocks at the shoreline.
This was my first time at the any beach since my honeymoon in Hawaii, so it was a little bittersweet, but photographing Dave & Liz interacting and enjoying the environment was great, despite the wind that was blowing Liz's hair everywhere.
When we got back to the field in Westlake the lighting was perfect, thanks in part to the solar eclipse that was occurring. I photographed Liz and Dave just playing around on the field and ended with them under the score board, with the setting sun behind them.
Congratulations Liz & Dave! I can't wait for the wedding! (P.S. My invitation arrived today!)
