Engagement Portrait at Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica

Other than going to a few restaurants and bars on the Santa Monica pier, I've never spent much time just cruising around. It was an enjoyable day, taking in the sites and sounds of the carnival atmosphere while photographing Jose & Susana. The first photo is my favorite; it was fun watching them play around on the swing as the sun was setting. The sun sets earlier due to the high hill tops to the north.
