Last weekend I photographed a brief engagement with Amanda and Jeff at the The Gamble House by Greene & Greene in Pasadena, California. As their wedding photographer, I was surprised at their initiative in gaining access to this location (along with getting the appropriate permissions) but the location made perfect sense given their love of American Arts and Crafts style architecture.

I felt that including the combination of poinsettias and the signature
door to the Gable House established the location and time of year quite nicely.

I found the textures and patterns of the shingles to be quite amazing.
And Amanda and Jeff really liked kissing each other at every opportunity.

They also had a penchant for spontaneously strolling down the driveway.

As a Pasadena wedding photographer, I sometimes offer suggestions that elicit funny
expressions or actions … but this was all them. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

As my jumping photos have now become world famous (at least in my own mind),
few wedding photography clients can resist a jump shot during their engagement session.
