Sarah Mahen Photographers

I had the great honor of having some of my engagement photographs showcased in an interactive news piece on Yahoo!News. The pictures are of Lisa and Gretchen who are getting married in Chico, CA this May. I am honored that my photographs were chosen and so prominently displayed on an international news story.

Okay, I really don’t think sexy went anywhere but man alive there was a lot of it in San Luis Obispo. Here are some more pictures from my weekend surrounded by hotties and awesome photographers.

This couple was such fun to work with. These pictures were shot at the Robert Hall Winery. It was a beautiful location and I’m sure it is amazing in the summer. Taking these pictures made me really excited for all the winery shoots I have this summer. I hope to get some images as much fun as these.

And here is one more from the beach couple. I really like this one, it’s all tender and stuff.

Taking these pictures has made me so excited for my up coming engagement sessions! I can’t wait to see what my couples and I can create together.

I am finally home from SLO and while I had an amazing time, I am REALLY happy to be home. I had a great time shooting with some amazing photographers and got some great pictures too. It was such fun to shoot in new places and in what turned out to be extream weather. We had a shoot at Avila Beach on Saturday morning and it just happened to be pouring rain. Luckily, I was working with a couple who was MORE than happy to do whatever we asked of them. These are some of my favorite shots from the shoot.

This couple aren’t even professional models! He’s a firefighter and she is a bartender who are getting married in September. The photographer they hired was local and asked if they would like about 50 photographers to take their engagement pictures. Of course they agreed, and I am so glad that they did. They were not only beautiful, they were very sweet and very much in love. Plus, they were troopers! The weather was INSANE! Very cold, pouring rain isn’t the ideal situation for an engagement shoot on the beach, but look at how awesome these turned out! I love taking chances with photography because taking chances is how you get better at anything and I always want to improve my photography. I am thrilled for the experiancs I had and even more I’m so happy I had such awesome people to hang out with (Sara and Sophia, I’m lookin’ at you!)

I’m so pumped for my upcoming engagement sessions and weddings now – even more pumped up than normal, so I’m REALLY pumped… don’t be frightened, it’s a good thing.

Let me know which picture you like the best and the photo with the most votes will be enlarged and sent to the couple as a “thanks for letting me take some amazing pictures” gift. Voting will be closed Friday at noon so vote early!
