Manhattan Beach Engagement Session: Fay & Jason

Fay and Jason have one of those love stories they’d write a movie about-they grew up in the same Manhattan Beach neighborhood and went to the same elementary school. They were best little buddies since preschool and grew up side by side, playing in the sandbox and climbing trees together. About 3 years ago, after life separated them years ago, they reconnected and, to their families’ surprise, fell in love. They are now living life together in the same neighborhood where it all began, so it was a natural choice to do their engagement session there in Manhattan Beach.

Because of their really busy schedules, we decided that an early, early morning session would be best, so last weekend I ventured out to the Manhattan Beach Pier before sunrise. It was a lovely, gray beach morning, typical of the beach in December. I loved the idea of the sunrise session- even though we couldn’t see the sun actually rise, the light was beautifully hazy and soft and we were able to take advantage of a nearly vacant pier, which never happens later in the day. I loved how, despite how early we started, Fay & Jason were full of energy and were so up for anything! They are fantastic and so fun… here are a few of my favorite images from the session.

The clouds were amazing that morning.

A favorite!

Another favorite… I loved how the sky and water nearly blended together at the horizon.

Fay looked amazing. She had a feeling it was going to be gray and misty and picked out this lovely gray dress to go with the feeling of the morning. Loved!

Fay and Jason easily make each other laugh… they obviously have so much fun together.

After the pier, we stopped the school they both used to attend as kids. Though it’s changed a bit, and they feel like everything is a lot smaller, the campus brought back tons of memories…

Here’s where they used to run around at recess…

And these are the trees they have many memories of climbing…

A few more shots around the school…

Fay and Jason- Thank you so much for being especially lovely and fun that morning! You made my job very easy. 🙂

Happy Monday, everyone!
