Loren & Rachel – Engagement session at the Block @ Orange: Starbucks!

Loren and I are both photographers… Wedding photographers in fact! We are both members of Pictage(my order fulfillment company.) He and Rachel are having their coffee themed wedding in December and needed some engagement photos. Our original plan was to meet at the Lucky Strike bowling alley in the Block @ Orange(about a half hour drive south of Los Angeles), but due to their(Luck Strike’s) lack of communication we couldn’t. I can never stress enough that when you want to have a photo-shoot in another business to call and confirm that it’s ok to do so. Well Loren called a few times and they said it would be ok… We got there, and the manager on duty told us we would need a permit and authorization from their attorneys.

We obviously still needed to get our e-session taken care of, so we looked around “The Block” and we saw that there was a Starbucks Coffee shop in the complex. Now I mentioned that Loren and Rachel are having a coffee themed wedding, which I think is pretty dang cool, and we thought it appropriate to get some shots in and around Starbucks.

Now I still haven’t upgraded to the Canon 5d Markii camera, but Loren has, and I wanted to test it out and see how much I loved it. I also haven’t done much with a fisheye lens, and so I tried a few shots out with that as well. So Throughout this shoot I used Loren’s beautiful camera, and of course it worked out great with my Noah Camera Holster which I knew it would(I’ve tested it on multiple cameras.) We had a ton of fun with the engagement session(as always,) and we went to a brewery/restaurant afterwards and had some pretty dang good food.

Ok… So here are some photos of the beautiful couple… Hope you enjoy! and don;t forget to subscribe to my blog!
