{Engagement Shoot} QUALLY & JIM

It’s one thing to have to wake up early for an engagement shoot, it’s another thing to have to deal with jet lag. Coming from the other side of the world, Our trooper couple; Qually & Jim flew in from Hong Kong to iron out some final details for their upcoming wedding in July, and we were able to take them out for a day for their engagement shoot.

Typically we always try to avoid business logos or signs in our photos, but c’mon… How fitting is this!

At the initial consultation, that’s our time to really get to know our client. We hang our cameras, to make a human connection rather then a photographer/client connection, to hear the couple’s story… I don’t think I can do it any other way.

From listening to Qually & Jim’s story, I soon found out the Sunset Beach it’s a place of significance and meaning to this couple. The beach might not be as warm as Laguna, or the sand as fine and white as Maldives, but none will carry the weight and feeling of Sunset Beach.

Lunch break! We hit Meat & Bread!

My favourite shot from this engagement shoot. There’s this peace and serenity when I look at this picture.

We are so excited and looking forward to their wedding day on July! God Bless!
