Last week, I headed to Old Town Orange, CA to shoot an engagement session for the lovely Julie and Bill, who are having their wedding at Terranea Resort later this year. When Julie emailed me and asked if I could incorporate their darling dog, Bruce, and Bill's super-sexy Ducati motorcycle, I was pretty excited. I have to say, I have never been one for cars or motorcycles, but Bill's Ducati was beautiful! Of course, Julie and Bill aren't bad either...
A fun shot with Brucie (I love when couples ask me to include their dogs in their engagement sessions) -
I couldn't decide which of these photos I liked best, so here's all three! -
One more with the bike -
And a couple more portraits of Julie and Bill -
To Julie and Bill (and Bruce) - Thank for a lovely afternoon and the delicious lemonade :)
delightfully,
Chenin

A sign. A dog. A motorcycle. The props alone illustrate what a cool couple you photographed. Your images bring it all together. You stay classy, Chenin Boutwell!
