Vikki + Scott at Point Dume

I constantly go on and on about how much I love the beach and the light at the beach in Point Dume in Malibu. This photo shoot with Vikki (7 months pregnant) and her fiancee Scott with their dog, Armstrong, is a perfect example. Not only is it a beautiful beach but it’s a beautiful hike down there.

We had so much fun and Armstrong, who usually doesn’t care for water, was a very happy dog!

Armstrong is a Texas Blue Lacy, a dog breed I was not familiar with.

I also created a slideshow from our photo shoot. You can view it above or by clicking here.

I met Sally and Chris through Archive Vintage Rentals and just had to have them also shoot with the 1962 Dodge Dart. We had such a great time and I wish them the best when they get married this coming Friday.

If you are interested in shooting with this fully restored car contact me at april@aprilrocha.com and I will get you their contact information.

Justin and Gabriella were the winners of my Engagement Session Giveaway and Gabriella didn’t even have to shop for vintage clothes. They were already in her closet. Shooting with this fully restored 1962 Dodge Dart was a lot of fun and so much fun that I shot another couple with the car which I’ll blog about soon.

A lovely Finnish couple, Lari-Pekka and Jaana, who had spent the last six months here and were leaving the next day to go back to Finland. We had a great time shooting at El Matador Beach in Malibu which they had never been to and they absolutely loved.

I’m so glad I was able to share this little gem of a beach before they left the States.

I had a wonderful engagement session with Steve and Lovy at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes last month.  They received this session because Steve purchased Lovy’s ring at a Ben Bridge Jeweler store.

Lovy made this adorable Save the Date wooden banner so we included it in our photo shoot.

Ring

I am proud to announce that April Rocha Photography has been chosen to be the official photographer for the Westfield Topanga and Southbay Galleria Ben Bridge stores.

So what does this mean?

Any Ben Bridge customer that purchases an engagement ring at one of these stores will be receiving a free engagement session as part of their purchase at this wonderful jewelry store.

Engagement sessions are such a great way for a wedding photographer to get to know a bride and groom better.

I have an extensive list of engagement session location ideas which you can peruse or you can decide on where you want the shoot to take place.

These are two of my favorite Ben Bridge engagement rings – Ben Bridge Item Number 10495372 and Item Number 10858512.

From a list of 50 engagement session locations that I have put together they chose the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.

I had never been there before and it is an absolutely beautiful place. So many different types of scenery to shoot against.
