These two are absolutely adorable! Gotta give Chad the thumbs up for sporting the casual t-shirt, shorts, and sandels :). Ann looked stunning and radiant! This was probably my toughest e-session since part of the day was at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. It appeared as though everyone and their mother decided to visit this place on a super hot Sunday afternoon! We had to find empty areas and waited for the crowd to pass us by before shooting. Ann and Chad handled the many folks that checked us out. So kudos to them for being very comfortable in front of the camera AND the various random people :).

Afterwards, we headed on over to the Queen Mary. This place was the complete opposite of the aquarium. We thought the ship might’ve closed already since hardly anyone was there. Fortunately, we still had about two hours to check out the many levels and mysteries of this classic (and haunted!) place. I loved how both Ann and Chad were completely natural and candid all day long. All I really had to do was follow them around and document their time together. I’m definitely stoked for their wedding in early August!
