Engagement Session at the OC Fair in Costa Mesa, California
Tracy and Richard’s engagement session at the Orange County Fair was super fun, to say the least. Before we started the shoot, they invited me for a pint of beer. We shared some laughs, drank some awesome beer, and then we were ready to take some amazing pictures. For shoots like these, I don’t use a shot list but instead I try and draw out inspiration from my surroundings and how the couple interact with each other.
Crowded places like the OC Fair or an amusement park can make it difficult to take pictures. I like to embrace the crowds and use them as compositional set pieces to my images. I definitely had to muster up a lot of patience to get the shots I wanted though, but it all worked out. We had an absolute blast with this session, and I love shooting at unconventional places for engagements.

I’ve been serving as a wedding officiant/minister for 22 years and have seen lots of images. You captured the fun, energy, and zest that this couple has and made part of their wedding day. Your capturing this energy with all the color sets you apart from the average and I applaud you for that. .Thank you.
