This was the first of the shoots from last week’s engagement shoot marathon. I always try to get these on the blog/facebook as quick as possible. We shot at Chapman University, which is really close to the Orange Circle (which I love shooting in), but offers a very different surroundings, but we headed to the circle at the end of the shoow. I’ll start off with my 2 favorites:
Note to Photographers: This entire shoot was edited using Adobe Lightroom 3 Beta. It is much nimbler and the noise reduction is amazing! OK back to the photos…

Goofballs!
I love the painterly effect on this one.














































He brought his guitar too. I love props!
My favorite…


This is what is on their save the date card:

I love cities at night.
They really treasure his car…




Montmarte “Little Paris” – this was exactly what we came for, and we just stumbled upon it! We came to look at the church, but as we followed this street behind it, it kept getting better and better.
This is L’Hospital Invalides.

Notre Dame with a fisheye perspective.
I love stained glass and I love candles!
Arc de Triomphe
This is my favorite photo from the trip.
This is view from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
The belly of the Eiffel Tower. We stood here for 3 hours waiting in the cold just to “get” to walk up to the second level. Totally worth it.




On Ile St. Louise – Masha took this one.



An amazing door on the side of Notre Dame. Masha loves red doors.
Looks like this statue is eating a snack. The guy on his left might grab it from if he’s not careful.
You gotta pay this pigeon 10 crumbs to get in the Crypt.
Yours truly.
