Jen and Anthony

Last Saturday the fabulous Brie of Brienne Michelle Photography invited me to come along for an engagement session, starring none other than Jen and Anthony from San Fran.  We headed to Ventura for some killer settings and had a blast.  We even got Slurpees.  That's how cool it was.  This couple was a blast to work with and was up for just about anything we threw at them.  Thanks guys, looking forward to your wedding in Summer of '09!

We had to pay the Seagull extra

Anthony was so funny, talking about his lack of confidence

in front of the camera, but as soon as he was in focus, the 

GQ-ness oozed from all over.

We found some friends along the way.

Swings are just so much fun!

We arrived back at the parking lot just in time for

this train to plow through, answering our question, 

"Do you think these tracks are used anymore?"

In light of that, we were extra cautious on this awesome

old train bridge that goes right over the 101 freeway.

After our time at the beach we headed down to 

Cal State Channel Islands.  This used to be a mental 

illness hospital, but is now a college campus...very creepy.  

This place inspired the song "Hotel California" by 

the Eagles, and has the well featured in "The Ring".

The natural light through the skylight at the end of this 

tunnel made for a glorious lighting situation.

Who says you can't dance when there's no music?

The very talented and pregnant Brie, what an artist.

Jen is a bit of a rebel

CSUCI had a great courtyard in the original building, which

used to be a Spanish mission.  Around the 1930's the State 

built a mental institution, keeping the mission style in all 

the buildings.  The hospital was a leader in experimental 

treatments of mental illness, such as Schizophrenia.  Wierd.

Anyway, back to the nice courtyard. 

Thanks for stopin' by!
