When I first met Alcira and Jose I knew two things right away…. I knew they were super sweet and I knew they were super shy.  So when Alcira picked the Santa Monica Pier as her engagement session location, I just knew that she would be willing to have some fun! I love the Pier… so many colors, so many lights, so many people!!!

Alcira was a little camera shy at first – but what I absolutely loved about her is that she totally trusted me and WANTED to have fun. She didn’t even mind laying down ON the sand!!! Now that was a first for me!!! most girls are like ’sand… in my hair… no way!’.  So she gets super gold points for suggesting that! (yeah… not my idea… how awesome is that?!?!).  Jose mentioned to me that Alcira had been looking over my blog and was getting herself ready for what to expect – I LOVE that!!! I love that they both went into the session with completely open minds and open hearts… even if they felt a little shy at first.

Of course…notice how as the sun went down, they suddenly came out of their shell!?!?! LOL!!! Can we say FABULOUS!!!!!!  We definitely had some fun with the fabulous lights of the pier… those were definitely my favorite pictures of all!  not only because of the fab lights… but because I knew Alcira and Jose had totally gotten into it! haha!

Love you guys!!! I can’t wait for your wedding!!!
