Engagement Portrait, San Juan Capistrano Mission

Evette and Ivan's location was so fitting for their engagement session since they want to one day travel and visit all the Spanish Missions in California. When I'm there, I just want to lay a blanket down in the courtyard and soak it all in. You find something eye catching each time you photograph this historic site. Evettte wore sexy heels and was very wise with her wardrobe plan. With all the walking we did, she would switch into her flats to walk to the next coveted spot to capture their love. Overall, with the heat and walking on uneven grounds, the day turned out to be a success. I love when a couple has a location in mind because I know that I'm not only capturing still photographs but their essence of their unity as a couple. It feels great knowing that their first photograph of their Spanish Mission travels begin with memories of their moments together before officially becoming husband and wife. I'm looking forward to photographing their big day this fall.
