Nancy & Anthony


A few weeks ago, my friend David Lee asked for some help on an Engagement Shoot. David was one of my assistants at Tom & Ashley’s wedding, so I didn’t hesitate to offer my services :)

We met at The Mission Inn in Downtown Riverside. To the best of my knowledge, The Mission Inn charges a fee to use their location for photography, so I wondered if David had gotten permission to shoot there. Well, he hadn’t. However, we were presently surprised to see that there was a bridal show there, so we were able to wonder about for quite some time without being detected. In fact, no one approached us until we tried taking photos along a walkway outside. When they asked us to leave and did so immediately, so it was no big deal. Luckily, the area just outside along the mall is really nice. There are some antique shops with cute facades, benches, statues, water fountains, etc. That served as a perfect background for our shots.

I really enjoyed the experience and I heard from David that the couple was pleased with all of their photos :)
