Oh, but California
California I’m coming home
I’m going to see the folks I dig
I’ll even kiss a sunset pig
California I’m coming home…
California by Joni Mitchell
What do you do when you’re in town shooting a wedding, but then have free time to tag along with your photographer friend/spirit animal for the day? Why, just go shoot some more! That’s what I did with my talented photographer buddy, Adrian Wood, when we did a lifestyle shoot for Serena and Sergio. I met the couple met for an hour first at a cool guitar shop. The kind you see in old movies about LA. We clicked instantly, and I could feel Sergio’s love of music because he looked so in heaven amongst all those guitars! Serena is an amazing photographer herself, so homegirl knows how to work the camera. This couple is the epitome of California cool even thought they’re from Venice, Italy– they have that West Coast ease about them, and it doesn’t hurt to be chasing the glorious California golden sunset at the Santa Monica Pier. You would never know this beach is one of California’s most popular, tourist-trappy beaches just by looking at Serena and Sergio’s serene photos. It’s so, so dreamy, am I right? Scroll through and feel the sun-drenched, salty spray of the West Coast/Best Coast at your fingertips!
