Engagement shoots for charity…

I was lucky enough to participate in a charity shootout for LETMESAIL yesterday. The event was hosted by Jen O’Sullivan and was focused towards those engaged couples getting married soon.  The event was held at The Sunset restaurant in Malibu, CA. and it was all about weddings. Weddings, weddings, weddings! Makeup artists, bakers, wedding invitations, coordinators/planners, videographers, florists. You name it, if you are getting married, everything you needed was right here. Including the venue!  The Sunset restaurant sits right across of the ocean with breathtaking views. You can have a beautiful beach ceremony and when it’s done, take a few steps and have the reception in the restaurant. It’s gorgeous. Everything was donated, we provided services and raffled off services and gifts for attendees.  All profits were donated to the organization LETMESAIL. To find out more about the organization and to donate, click here. It was great to see so much support from some awesome vendors out there. There was some great gifts given out yesterday and there were some couples that walked away with some serious goods. I’m so glad I took part in it.

When I first got there, it felt like a hurricane watch should’ve been in effect. Seriously, it was pretty darn windy. I mean there was a sandstorm on the beach, no joke. But, once inside the reception area inside of The Sunset restaurant, I was greeted with great people and sitting beautifully on a table nestled on the side was CUPCAKES! Yup, I had my eyes set on those little cutie pies from the minute I stepped in there. And, before days end, I was able to meet up with a couple mini-vanilla cupcakes with blue frosting. Yum, yum. Thank you social frog designs!

Anyway, I met some great couples and did a few quick mini-sessions, some lasting as short at 5 minutes. Yes, FIVE minutes! I thought I’d post a few shots from the day.  I’ll post more soon, but wanted to share the great couples I met yesterday. In all of these shots, you will definitely see my motto….LOVE..LAUGH..SMILE.  There is a lot of that going on in these photos, take a peek.

Great to see you again Gayla :) Wow you really were so efficient in posting those! I love the very first interior shot, and all the detail shots for Social Frog Designs. Also love the pictures of the couple in blue and green shirts.

What a bunch of beautiful couples. I just love it when people donate their time to benefit charities. I know your efforts will benefit a person that really needs it.
