on the engagement photos

We got our engagement photos today. Below is a sampling from a set of 33 images.

Steve took these shots about a month ago in this sequence - shore under Veterans Pier; the park in the Olympic Plaza; the boardwalk; and the P-T photo studio.

The first set of shots were taken during an an algae bloom, otherwise known as a red tide. Though people were playing in the water, it reflected rust in the sun and copper in the shade. The wind was cool, though a little strong.

Passers-by were courteous, and we were especially surprised by the well wishes of strangers. A group of teenage boys shouldering fishing poles waved in passing, "You're a beautiful couple!" A man in Speedos watched Steve do his thing for a few minutes before accosting him to inquire about his camera and to wish us luck.

For a controlled environment we were taken to the P-T photo studio, where Steve artfully arranged light to give the final images a warm, glowing quality.

We're stoked. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
