Stephanie and Adam are getting married at the beautiful Costanoa Resort & Lodge in the fall and they suggested taking a drive down there for their engagement session which ‘squeal’ was a fabulous idea, I could not wait to download their images let alone pick which ones to blog. This was shot yesterday by the way so I really am not exaggerating about my excitement
S + A brought some awesome props along for the session which was a fun visual treat
For some reason I cannot get the song-I’m a hustla’- out my head now
I was a big fan of the tartan hats which are called ‘just jimmy’ hats in Scotland
I also made friends with the Costanoa resident cats, one a bit camera shy but the other gave me a wicked smile
We finished the evening off at La Costanera, an ocean view Peruvian Restaurant at Montara Beach which I highly recommend treating yourself to, the food was DELICIOUS!!! Thanks guys!!
Congratulations!! looking forward to your wedding day!! xo
LOVING!! Stephanies hair in this bottom picture above ![]()



What a ludicrously fun and madcap afternoon. Stephanie and I might have brought the costume box vomitus (and our happy playful mugs), but Kirsty, you phenomenally orchestrated the ballet that ignited our lunacy, passion, playfulness, laughter and spirit. In sniffing out a path we had never explored before on our previous trips to Costanoa, having the eye to usher us into briar patches concealing pots of photographic gold, and chasing the light all over the ranch until the sliver of a waxing moon(not waning as confirmed by tonight’s moon) shot the sensor, subjects and shooter packing for the high ground of a just-in-time Peruvian meal on the coast…Kirsty brought out our inner A Game, and evidenced her own! Thank you so much.
-If one thing’s for certain, no one’s singing the Hustler Blues around here…Bring it!
my favorite shot is that hustler snuggling that hustelee in the sunlight. i just want to BE that ruffled shirt…
I just love all the hats. What a fun shoot. The most romantic photo has to be the last one with the trees and sunset behind, breathtaking.
oh my gosh!!!! these are great! what a great couple and how fun.
