every so often, we get a chance to do something really cool, and recently, that was shoot the engagement of traci and chris, at the very exclusive bridges in rancho santa fe. when we drove up, it looked as though we had left the beachy san diego landscape for the rolling hills of tuscany. it was absolutely amazing, and the coolest thing was that we had it all to ourselves and traci and chris were fantastic models, indulging our every wish.
we started right outside the clubhouse, where the beautiful fall leaves could trick anyone to believing we were anywhere but seasonless san diego. i love how traci and chris look like they stepped out of an east coast ivy league (sorry chris, usc just doesn't have the ivy) school, so classic and perfect...
chris told us he could do a neat little trick, and we were able to capture it perfectly--can you believe how high he is?
walking down the flowered path led us to a vineyard, yes, they have their own vineyard...
how amazing is this place???
after a quick wardrobe change, we headed for the front of the country club, which was just as impressive as the back--traci and chris just look like they fit here...
i think what i remember for this shot was the word "carnal"--enough said...
we drove down the road a bit to these amazing waterfalls, and had a little fun watching traci and chris splash in the water
finally onto the golf course, where the approach to the 18th hole has to be one of the most challenging
and if the choice of location for the engagement shoot wasn't impressive enough, just wait until the wedding. palm springs, private estate, gatsby-esque. let the suspense begin! congratulations traci and chris, we can't wait until april.
