chelsea and bj's e-session part 1 of 4

guest commentator: monica

i just love it when we shoot on slightly cloudy days. gloomy weather behind us the day before and plenty of sunshine with cotton-candy strands of clouds striated through the sky during our engagement session with chelsea and bj this past weekend. our first stop was baker beach. since this couple will be wed on oahu next march, where chelsea is originally from, they definitely wanted to be sure to include sf, since this is the location of their first meeting. and what says san francisco more than the monumental golden gate bridge. we had such a great time with the two, who were pretty much down to do anything we asked as you'll soon see throughout these four photo blogs. be sure to view them all!

"sk-eye" candy
(both of the sky and of this gorgeous couple!)

strolling along the beach

tenderness

splashing around (in the only pair of jeans bj brought to the session. such a soldier!)

next stop was crissy field, where we got a chance to settle into a field of wild flowers. alright, so they were weeds... but they were pretty and bright yellow, which is eddie's favorite color! (anyone remember his first car?) great results on camera but not so great on bj's new white shirt, which ended up being splotched with pollen. ironically, chelsea's shirt stayed immaculate, though she was the one who volunteered that they would lie on the field.

the next challenging feat for bj was to head into a busy intersection in little italy, hoist chelsea up into a dip, kiss her, hold that pose for the camera, then run out of harm's way... all within 20 seconds! but his efforts were definitely worth the great shot we got of the transamerica building in the background.

and then off to the entrance to china town on grant street, where we were able to make-shift a "bj" california nameplate, alongside chelsea's name.

lastly, we found union square to be pleasantly much less congested for a weekend (thanks to easter sunday!) and were able to capture some great shots of the heart sculptures. the next feat included both chelsea and bj jumping onto a trolley for quick smooch, as it picked up a few passengers.

you should always have a plan b, which is what we resorted to when we realized the beautiful slightly clouded sky around the golden gate began to settle into low-lying fog around the bridge, preventing a clear view of the setting sun. not to worry since we were able to shoot some cool images on a bridge at crissy field. this bridge has some great urban/modern lines, which we wanted chelsea and bj to be set up against, especially since they definitely were dressed to paint the town! this time, it was chelsea's challenge to feign "warmth" as it was very cold at sunset and avoid getting her cute heels stuck between the planks!

congrats, chelsea and bj! can't wait for your hawaii wedding next year!
