Santa Cruz Engagement Photography!
I headed down to Gizdich Ranch to meet the lucky winner of the photoshoot contest that I ran with Kim Guiley of Blending Beautiful! Kim did an awesome job on Whitney’s hair and makeup, bringing out her natural beauty and getting her camera-ready for the shoot!
After some time at the Ranch, we traveled down the road to a private home of one of Whitney’s friends. The home is amazing and we were allowed to play in the gorgeous garden that was basking in the golden light.
Whitney was such a sweetie, full of giggles and smiles and loved being danced and turned by her shyer fiance Jeremy who was all smiles and happily willing to do anything and everything Whitney dreamed up! Wait til you see what he willingly did later!
These two were seriously easy to photograph! Look at those smiles!
On this property there was a frisky mule that hissed at me but mellowed when Jeremy pet it. I guess he sensed that his muzzle was making me nervous!
With the sun setting we drove to Manresa Beach to catch the sunset colors! And Whitney’s last idea!!!
Yes… to go in the water!!!! Now for you non-California people, don’t be fooled by our gorgeous weather- the water is FREEZING!!!!! Jeremy you are very kind!!
