Haley + Brian really wanted to shoot at Balboa Island for their Engagement Session. While we were shooting in front of Haley’s Grandma’s house, we found out that they had actually spent their first date people-watching in the exact location that we placed them for one of our first stops of the day! It was so much fun shooting while they relived that first date and reminisced about the things they had done and seen from that very spot. Then we walked around and it was so cool to be listening to their stories about Balboa Island, particularly the community-wide division over the major political dispute about which store actually made the first “Balboa Bar” (an ice cream on-a-stick with various dipped toppings). We may have also ended the shoot at a random laundry mat where we told them they were hiding from zombies in some sort of impromptu apocalyptic scenario…..we may have done that. It was a really great day and we can hardly wait to see them again for their Hummingbird Nest Ranch Wedding in Simi Valley this summer!
