Skyler & Kristen Engagement Encinitas, CA

My good friends Skyler and Kristen recently were engaged and plan to be married next summer here in San Diego.  Which I kind of feel like some times creates an awkward situation.  Do you ask your friend to shoot your wedding vs. being involved as just a friend to celebrate.  Do you not even like your friends photography and don’t want them to find out the hard way?  Do you not want to get involved on a business level at such a monumental event?  Lot’s of questions to be asked when pondering that type of thing.  The honest truth is that I’m relieved to say I won’t be shooting Skyler and Kristen’s wedding.  Kimberly and I plan on drinking lots of champagne, and tearing up the dance floor with the rest of our closest friends on that day.  Luckily for me they both felt that having us as guests to share their big day was the right thing to do.  Oh, and Skyler absolutely hates my photography too……..awkward

I did however offer to shoot their engagement photographs at no charge as kind of a congratulations I love you guys gift to get them going on their marry way.  We’ve been waiting and waiting for a little sun shine in dreary San Diego for it seems like months now and finally decided to pull the trigger and go for it last week.  Lucky for me they were in on all of my crazy ideas of shooting a super vintage 1800′s inspired session as well as some fun shots at the Del Mar fairgrounds.  Congrats again on your engagement Skyler and Kristen, Kim and I love you guys and your little monster Zoey.  Looking forward to the big party next weekend!!
