candice + burton | rancho capistrano | orange county | engagement shoot

i want to touch upon the selection process for blog images for just a second.  i think image selection for your portfolio or blog is very important.  many times we're tempted to put up a ton of pictures because the shoot was great.  photographers feel the need to mix in the mediocre/standard images with the cool avant garde/edgy images to balance things out.  that's a pressure that brings down the impact of the set as a whole.  we're guilty of that too.  images are powerful.  they stick to your brain and leave their mark for days if not months.  why water down the impact of those few powerful images with bland white rice? 

with that said, candice and burton's shoot was chock full of great images that were hard to whittle down.  they were definitely ready for their shoot.  candice in her cute black dress with pockets and burton decked out in something his fashion forward sister picked out for him.  we had so much fun goofing around and playing around like kids.  can't believe how lucky we are to be working with them in baltimore for their wedding!

Love all of the pics, but the water reflection is my hands down favorite. Great work as usual! Hope you and Ingrid are doing well.

I love the gate image of them standing off in the distance. So adorable! And the one of them in puddle's reflection is killer!

Dear Jerry, thanks so much for capturing our personalities and our relationship through these awesome pictures. I even love how you've posted the photo of my discrete choking in the background as Burton is cracking up at me. We had so much fun during this photo shoot and felt like movie stars during those short hours. Can't wait to see you in July! Great job!!
