Engagement Photos with Jessica and Joey

HDR Ventura City Hall entrance

Engagement Photo Sessions are a great way for couples to get to know their photographer. They are also a great way for photographers to see how the couple photographs under different lighting conditions and locations. Best of all, a rapport is created which truly helps ease anxiety regarding photography on the wedding day.

In this case, Jessica and Joey drove all the way up from Orange County to Ventura in order to model for my photography students last Sunday.
