When ever I go out to shoot photos I always make sure I have a good time.  It's the main reason I do photography... because I can have fun with it.  And every once in awhile I get to do something really fun, and shoot photos that I just can't get anytime.  Working with Kristen and Dan yesterday, shooting their engagement photos, was one of those days.  Kristen scheduled our shoot earlier this month with no knowledge of the rain that was coming the week before.  And when I say "rain" I mean "RAIN!"  There was a lot of it falling all week, and few breaks for the whole week.  We were ready to move our shoot date, but lucky for us the rain cleared, and even more amazing was the snow that fell on the Mountains around us.  With the low temperatures and all the rain, I had a good feeling that snow would grace us... and so I called Kristen and suggested that we run off to the snow for the photos.  I never have the chance to take snow photos and I was way excited when they decided they wanted to take advantage of it.  You might as well while it's here right!

So we drove up to Mt. Figueroa and played in the white powder for the photo shoot.  We got so many great shots, and I was having so much fun myself that I kind of over did it and shoot about twice as many photos as I normally do, but who can complain with a few more photos right?  I got home after the shoot and started sorting through the photos, and was so happy with them that I decided to make it a late night and just power on through all the images.  So while watching a couple Documentaries on the National Geographic channel, and laughing through "The Hangover" I managed to get through all the photos on the same day as the shoot.  Yesterday really was a fun day, hanging out with the couple, shooting all afternoon, playing in the snow, and all the laughs really did make for an awesome Sunday afternoon.

Once we were done playing in the snow we stopped by in Los Olivos and took some photos around the town.  It was my first time shooting in Los Olivos, (even though I have wanted to for a long while now) but we got some great shots in some wonderful locations.  The photo of them holding hands with the red door in the background is one of my favorites, and one of Kristen's too... I think it will make a great print, and I hope one day I can see it if they do get a nice large print made.

 So as you can see the shoot was a blast and if you want to see all the photos click on over to the photography page and take a look.  Enjoy the photos and check back soon because I got a couple random photos of the landscape and snow while I was shooting that I'm going to touch up and post later this week.  Probably on Wednesday before I leave on another much needed camping trip (if you don't mind, pray for some clear weather for us while we are out in the wilderness).  Take care and God bless.
