Mission San Juan Capistrano Engagement Vantage Style

Engagement

Mission San Juan Capistrano Engagement session last about two hours. We start our session from 3pm which is the perfect time for engagement.I love the old California missions, and this one is one of the best. It was a Spanish mission in Southern California, located in present-day San Juan Capistrano. It was founded on All Saints Day November 1, 1776, by Spanish Catholics of the Franciscan Order. Named for Giovanni da Capistrano, a 15th century theologianand “warrior priest” who resided in the Abruzzo region of Italy, San Juan Capistrano has the distinction of being home to the oldest building in California still in use, a chapel built in 1782.

2 years ago I went to Mission San Juan Capistrano take some pictures for a travel Magazine in China. I was very impressed by the old architecture and history behind it. It was a challenge for the photographer because of it is so beautiful and so unique. Why Mission San Juan Capistrano Engagement Vantage Style ? After the photo shot i did a lot of photoshop on the images and try to much the style with the old look architecture…. This Engagement session included two location, the Mission San Juan Capistrano and Dana Point.

Santa Monica Engagement | Temescal Gateway Park wedding | Karina & Eric

Santa Monica Engagement | Temescal Gateway Park wedding

We discussed a lot about the location for their engagement over e-mail and finally locked it in Santa Monica. I suggested we go to Temescal Gateway Park, 20 minutes further from Santa Monica, where I used to hike.Temescal Gateway Park is a place of tranquil beauty. With its native plant landscape and a rich coastal wilderness you may witness the change of seasons in all of its colorful glory. This park is also a very popular venue for weddings and events. You will always see weddings held on weekend in summertime. On the shooting day, it was foggy onthe beach side, and the sunshine come though the cloud make the light very dramatic.

It was a fun session. They wanted a picnic theme session so Eric and Karina did a lot of homework. They brought some fruits, wine, blanket, magazines, books, flowers, snacks,small toys, etc. Karina and Eric are very considerate, they even brought the stepladder for me to shot from high angle which you willnoticed from the photos.After Temescal Gateway Park we went to Third Street in Santa Monica for the 2nd part of the engagement and we got some beautiful night scene shots for them.

I couldn’t wait their wedding in August this year.
