I met up with Erman and Rochelle yesterday for their engagement photo session. They are getting married this Friday! Yup! This Friday! So I needed to post up these photos for them right away so we can get all their prints ready for their wedding.
We decided to meet up in 2nd Street in Long Beach, CA. They specifically told me they wanted to go somewhere different and 2nd Street in Long Beach is definitely a different place. It is an approximately 4-block long shopping area buzzing with so many people that you forget you’re still in Long Beach, CA. A new find for me is the Frosted Cupcakery store where we decided to start our photo session. I need to thank the people at Frosted Cupcakery for being so kind as to letting us take some photos in their store! It was really busy in there, but they did not tell us to leave at all! I wish there were more places like that around for us photographers! Oh and I must say, their cupcakes are so delicious! So, if you live around the area, it is a great place to get your cupcake fix.
After some shots inside Frosted Cupcakes, we decided to walk around 2nd Street and explore what it had to offer us during our photo shoot. There were so many cute places that we found and lighting yesterday was so good to us too. Here are more of my favorite from the session.
The white picket fence photos are my favorites of the favorites :o)
We went to an alley and found some awesome backgrounds! These two can make an alley real fun and a beautiful place for a photo session!
Erman’s dad (Ka Dante Quitalig) was our resident minister a couple of years ago. Because ministers and their families never know when they will be transferred to another locale, Rochelle and Erman decided to move their wedding to February instead of August this year so that they can be sure all their loved ones are there to witness their special day.
