JIM & CHRISTIAN | Engagement

One of the reasons we absolutely love shooting downtown is because of the endless photo opportunities.  With Jim & Christian, we started off at Petco Park to make sure their dog, Molly, got in a few portraits.  From there we winged it and hit up a fire station and a swanky restaurant to name a few.  Great locations and a sizzling hot couple…what more could we ask for? 

Hey guys!  we had loads of fun with you two! (and Molly, of course) :)  we can’t wait to show you guys the rest of your images!

    S&J, you guys have an amazing eye for great shots! We had so much fun with you guys, can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures! Thank you so much for letting us include Molly in the pictures, even though she was really camera shy.

    Wow. The pictures came out beautiful. I was just wondering though, who are those models, what did they do to Chris and Jim, and why did they take over their engagement photos?
