Manhattan Beach Engagement Session

2013-03-06T19:20:00.000-08:00

Rey and Maria had their engagement session at Manhattan Beach. For Rey this beach has a lot of meaning since he used to play here when he was a kid, and then this is the place where both planned their future life.
In order to capture these romantic moments I told them: "Just, be yourself. I am not here...but I will be capturing your love!"

At the night is coming, it is more difficult to capture the images. But they also wanted pictures at night. Here is when a challenge come. But,it is not just to put a flash on the camera. Flash on camera gives flat light, in other words you do not see volume in the subjects. Off flash camera is the best, and here are the results.
