Brooke and Dan engagement - santa monica, ca

the engagement session with brooke and dan allowed us to see them as they are and have a bit of fun in the process. funny, when it came to having an ice cream cone on the boardwalk...the couple did not hesitate and were cooling off in no time! sometimes the most spontaneous shots come from just letting the "film roll." dan really flew by me when i asked them to get on their bikes. before i knew it brooke and dan looked like a couple of kids out having fun. you can't see it...but they're about a million people on the beach at sunset. not intentionally, we found ourselves at santa monica pier smack down in the middle of LABOR DAY week-end! never fazed us one bit. so much so that i have to say that we came up with a more unique sunset shot (waikiki inspired) to date.
