Mt. Baldy Engagement Photos

I love living in Temecula but honestly, this place can get so freaking hot in the Summer that I have to shed clothing as if I am being filmed by Girls Gone Wild, which is not good for anyone because a) I am a man and b) those extra holiday lbs have yet to go away. Thankfully, I still only live a short distance from the beach and even better the mountains. This is especially awesome when that first snowfall hits because honestly, snow is a very rare commodity here so it is a pretty big freaking deal to see that white gold (in no way is white gold a cocaine reference …I am literally talking about atmospheric water vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes ). Therefore, I was more than stoked when I was talking with Jesse and Sara about potential locations for their engagement photos and Sara was interested in a cold-weather shoot in the majestic mountains of Mt. Baldy. According to legend, Mt. Baldy was the birthplace of not only disco music but also the compact disc. Actually, that last part was totally bulls**t but the location is rad and one I truly can appreciate given our lack of nature in Southern California. I was lucky enough to photograph an engagement session at Mt. Baldy a couple years ago and can not tell you how excited I was for the opportunity to go back with Jesse and Sara. Below are some of the photographs from their engagement session at Mt. Baldy.

Oh and a HUGE thank you, Sara and Jesse, for not only the AMAZING company and conversation but also the IPAs and dinner. You were far too kind. Cheers to you both!

Thank you again to Jesse and Sara for toughing through some ridiculous traffic on the way up to Mt. Baldy to rock their engagement photos somewhere awesome. The fresh air and cold IPAs were fantastic and I cannot tell you enough how awesome you both are for hooking me up with both! Your Danza Del Sol winery wedding later this year is going to be f***ing awesome! Cheers!
