It was our third attempt at trying to make this shoot happen, after the previous 2 attempts didn&#8217;t work out for various reasons. I am so glad we waited because the weather on Sunday was near perfect. My former client and friend, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rustinmichael.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/21\/palos-verdes-engagement-photography\/\">Justin<\/a> came along to assist with the shoot. Keep reading below to see some of my favorites from the shoot.<\/p>\n<p>We began our session by meeting in the park near the Merry-go-Round. There was beautiful light coming from over the hill. I just loved how it was hitting the trees, grass, and Nina &amp; Rommel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rustinmichael.com\/blog_photos\/2012\/0129\/los-angeles-engagement-photography-01.jpg\" alt=\"los angeles wedding photography, los angeles engagement photography\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nina and Rommel are so much fun.

Being a weekend and an extremely beautiful\u00a0clear day made\u00a0it\u00a0hard to find angles without large crowds of people while shooting there.
