{Venus + Davey} Central Park | Huntington Beach Engagement Photographer

I had only met Venus & Davey one other time...at the preliminary consultation in my studio. But by the end of our time together for their engagement session, I felt like we were old friends. They are such an awesome couple, incredibly easy to be and talk with, and I just love their admiration for one another. But of course they are cool peeps...they came referred by this awesome gal!

We met up at Central Park in Huntington Beach for the perfect summer evening. (That is such a great park if you've never been). We chased the light and caught some of my most favorite images ever. They will be getting married this fall nearby at the Red Horse Barn.

They are pretty much gorgeous together, in my opinion. But see for yourself...

I love the way this tree forms a heart around them (as my photographer friend Lyndsey pointed out)...

Davey actually proposed to Venus in a tree. I love that! Climbing trees reminds me of my childhood (but I honestly cannot remember the last time I might have done it?). I think it's so cool that the two of them will still take a walk and find themselves talking and sitting in a tree together. So we had to shoot in a tree, it was only fitting of their story...

This next image is a FAVE! It's the same pose as the first image in this blog (vertical and in B&W instead). I often give direction to couples but the best images are the ones that happen naturally like this one. It's such an awesome moment...
