Chelsea and Antonio :: Picture me... Engaged


Chelsea loves art
Antonio loves design
Chelsea wants to build a house
Antonio is building a house for Chelsea
Chelsea loves Tony
Tony Loves Chelsea

Tony and Chelsea are Super! When we first met them we knew we would work well together because they value art as much as we do.  They loved art and fashion so much that they wanted it to come out in their session.  So, we put our editorial skills to the test! 

They are both amazing interior designers that will probably be helping us out in the future. Like all our E-Sessons we do 2 locations with a change of cloths, we were completely stunned by the beauty and color of their location choices. 

We Met in Pasadena (right near the house they are building from the ground up!) and went shot near some great architecture and then headed to a nature park. All of us didn't want to leave when it was dark....so we kept shooting away. We all had a blast! After words we went to dinner and that is were we realized they were even more cooler then we could ever imagine (and trust me, we already thought they were rocken).

Tony and Chelsea, we both had so much fun with you this past week. We both cant wait for your big day :)

Ok OK we use a 45mm T/S all of the blur is in camera from the lens itself, there is no PP blur effect added.

Thanks so much every one for the Kind words!!!!

We love all of you!

Mark and Candice, I went home this weekend for a bridal shower and my mom had the slideshow playing nonstop. She made everyone watch it…People were freaking out! Everyone loved them, and several people commented that they were the best engagements pictures they had ever seen. Great Job!

Mark and Candice, you are definitely an inspiration to me. I love the husband and wife team. I love your house! I LOVE your images, your captures and all the little details you see and add to the picture. I keep coming back for more. :) Thanks for sharing and being so encouraging to other aspiring photographers.

GREAT locations. and the photos with reflections are all so creative & unique. in the next to last photo, the water looks like the shape of a heart...how cool. or did mark go out there and move rocks to make that shape because that is how dedicated he is...ha.ha.
