happy anniversary mary ann and fred


i love opening my email and seeing that someone has been referred to us by a past client. for me, it always brings back the memories of the event(s) we've shot for them and puts a smile on my face. when mary ann and fred wanted to get some anniversary photos taken they talked with their friend, and ours, amores. we can't say enough nice things about amores. she is muy bonita and is one of the happiest people we know. we can't even say her name without smiling. seriously.
now that we've met mary ann and fred we can't say enough nice things about them. they are such a sweet couple. when mary ann contacted me we talked about locations and, as it often turns out, we ended up in la jolla on about the busiest beach day of the year. apparently we weren't the only ones that thought it was a rad beach day. we fought through the crowds and were able to find a few spots. the location was awesome as always, but mary ann and fred made it even awesomer. sweetness follows.




since fred is so much taller than mary ann we thought we'd switch it up a little. mary ann's smile was so infectious. isn't she the sweetest thing?




mary ann was a gamer. we'd start asking if she would stand over there and before we could finish our request she'd already dashed over to the spot.




when mary ann came down from the mountain she found a perfect snuggling spot on fred. these two were made for each other.







the only thing this shot is missing are some little heart shaped thought bubbles floating out of mary ann's head. she loves her man fred.




no, we haven't started hiring extras for our photo shoots. those are stray humans. when you can't beat, blur em. that's our motto.




it's not visible to the naked eye, but through my powerful canon optics i was able to see the tractor beam between mary ann and fred's eyes.




not sure who's beam was stronger but they both pulled each other right in. we love being photo ninjas and capturing real moments like this.




one does not simply walk into mordor. its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs... wait, wrong gate. this is the white gate of la jolla.




april took this shot of mary ann and fred stuck in a moment. me likey.




i believe neil diamond said it best.







thank you for taking a walk on the beach with us mary ann and fred (and for inviting us to dinner). we had an awesome time with you two and are glad that we were able to capture some of the love you share. happy anniversary!




we heart mary ann and fred.

I love the pictures! I’m so glad Mary Ann convinced Fred to have these pictures taken; they took some pictures before for their 1st anniversary in a studio but nothing compare to these ones. I guess my cut ($$$) is in the mail right ;)

I don’t get tired of looking at your pictures even if they are from strangers, they are so artistic, but looking at my friends makes me want to be in front of your camera again!

Love Amores

Hello,

I saw a link to your site after reading "The Brides Cafe", and after visiting your blog I just thought you should know you've gained one more fan, as I'm sure you have many! "Ohana means family," according to the disney movie "Lilo & Stitch" - and you definitely capture that in your photographs, the beauty of family. Keep up the great work, it's truly the kind that captures hearts.

Sincerely,
Jaime Haywood
