Jill + Istvan

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Jill and Istvan are the kindest, most genuine people you will ever meet. And while I wouldn’t say that they’re opposites, they compliment each other so well that I can’t imagine the two of them apart. She puts him at ease, he makes her eyes twinkle, and I love the way these two interact and laugh along side each other.

Jill and Istvan live in NYC, but married in San Clemente, California so I shot their engagement session the week of their wedding when they were in town. We started at the Laguna Beach Surf and Sands Resort where the two of them would be staying the night they say, “I Do.”

I love the light we found in this little passage way!

And then we headed down to the beach where Istvan asked Jill to spend her forever after with him and caught the last light before dusk set.

This is my absolute favorite capture of the day! I love the vintage parasol Jill brought with her to our session! So perfect!

    The vintage feel of the last two pics complements the vintage parasol perfectly! Really love the shot on the bench, too — the light and shadows are fab.

    Weekly Photos: October 5

    Happy Sunday! First, two couples — Brittany & Brian and Jill & Istvan — from Sarah K Chen (who, by the way, just had the world’s cutest baby shower)… There’s an understated intimacy in the second photo that really draws me in.

    Carme…
