Orange County Wedding Photographer | Photography blog of eric j. cotter

Louis is a friend of mine from OSP (a photography community we are members of, also check his rockin work here louispalos.com).  Any how, Friday we got to hang out in Laguna (as you can tell I love shooting engagements in Laguna).  The water was AMAZINGLY cold and the poor guys were totally stuffy sick, BUT!!  They were SOOOOOO HAWT, that the water was just the right temperature  (man that was cheesy).  No but honestly, they were amazing sports considering the weather and their sickness

We had a chance to talk about this being the first time they had left their little one for more than an hour, just hearing them talk about the situation showed their love..  I really was taken back by their love of their child and the prioritizing of their life, it really gave me a huge amount of respect for them as parents and great people…

On with the show!

Good friends of mine, Dave (sorry he likes David ) and Ali Tosti (you can get to know David a little more here  and here  Any how… Ali is set to deliver in about a week, so they wanted to get a few portraits to help them remember this awesome time in their lives.  This is the first time I have done anything Maternity, it was a blast..  and Ali was a great sport as well.   Any how, hope everything goes smooth guys, and I’ll see you when your family = 3

The pics

Ok Dave had enough of watching,
so he wanted to be in a few pics as well
 

Well engagement season is definitely in full force.  Shot 4/5 this week (for JimKennedy), and today I got the chance to hang out with Doug and Lori..  Doug and Lori are a very FUN couple who just have a great time together. They are one of those couples that you can see their love down to the little things, whispers, joking laughs and the cute looks they give each other.. 

They are getting married at Coto de Caza (and i am excited to be a part of their day!!!  Coto has some AMAZING scenery and these two will be right at home.

Here are a few i picked out from today at Mission San Juan Capistrano

Ok I have no Idea why I made a french reference, but tonight was a great round 2.  I have nothing to compare it too because I have yet to shoot the same people 2 days in a row, but I hope they are all this great!!!  I will write a little more tomorrow, but I just have to say that they LOVE to kiss,.  and they look dang good doin it!!!

I love it when random puppies show up

This was my favorite shot in a while!!

OH and i have to mention…  I’m such a nice guy I even let my brides use my sandals when their feet hurt
