Danielle and Rick - engagement

danielle and rick's on-line proofing website

funny thing happened to me on the way to the office...no really. had been looking forward to just "hanging out" with danielle and rick since they said they wanted to have their engagement session in santa monica near the pier. when we met i found out that both danielle and rick never really experience the pier in allllll its glory. so, i made an executive decision and decided to spend an hour with them while they "played"...and played, and played. not being there but 10mins. danielle and rick were quick to channel their inner child and they played games for the sure FUN of it.


now, if i wasn't there i would not have believed you if you told me that the 2nd carnival game that they played rick WON a stuffed puppy for danielle. this puppy was quick to be embraced and celebrated by danielle all day long. finally bringing on one HELLOFA smacker on rick's lips. simply beautiful.


the whole time together i didn't feel that i was a third wheel rather a friend really happy to host them in one of my favorite towns. they danced on the board walk, threw baseballs knocking down little fury trolls, crashed their bumber cars into countless unexpected drivers,


took pictures in a picture booth, made out in a picture booth,



peeked through a telescope across the channel islands.

oh, rick told me that one of his favorite pictures of danielle and him was a picture he took of them with the "retractable right arm shot". so this shot is my gift to them.


the games continued and the prizes continued to pile up. i was sorry to leave but knew that i had shared with them a great time and helped to ignite the inner kid...in all of us.
