While at the Charity Shoot Out in Malibu, I was in between couples getting ready to find the next couple in my group when a teal eyed striking gal approached me asking if I was KrisD Mauga.
"Yes I am".
She says, "I just emailed you my couple's questionnaire and checklist".
me, "Oh Nichole, right?"
"Yes".
Wow a potential client of mine, whom I had been in contact with for wedding inquiry for the past few weeks was here at the Shoot Out! I was so excited to finally meet her and her fiancee Casey! I asked if she was in my group- the red one. She said she was in yellow, but was hoping to get a chance to shoot with me.
"Of course I will to shoot you!"
How flattering for them to show for such a great cause and to have me shoot them as well.
Since they weren't in my "group" I had very little time to spend with them, so I offered an additional mini-shoot during our consultation a week later. We met in Santa Monica at the Pourtal Wine Bar. It's always nice to casually talk about wedding details and enjoy a glass of wine. Shortly later we had our mini shoot during a perfect day. So if you see a more photos than usual, it's because we shot twice.
After our 15 minute shoot, we sat down again to go over more details. We ended up talking for over an hour and half. They are so down to earth, enjoy rock climbing, love nature and are getting married at the Malibu Nature Preserve.
I have shot in Malibu multiple times yet not at the Preserve just yet. I really love that area; it's so lush with huge green trees, rustic with ranch style feel, and peaceful with ocean views. There is so much to offer for photography in this area!
Nichole & Casey thanks for spending time with me and allowing me to capture some more fabulous moments between the two of you!
These shoes really made my day! Lucky for Nichole she wears a 7 and I wear an 8.5 or they may have fallen into my bag.....
