Pala can get hot….like crazy hot, as was the case with a recent wedding we photographed at the Condor’s Nest Ranch (that wedding will be posted later this year).  What’s great about shooting at The Condor’s Nest Ranch is that even on a hot day, the evening is very very pleasant.  Alyssa + Victor will be celebrating their wedding here later this year and we can’t wait to do round two with them then.  If you weren’t aware, Condor’s Nest couples are able to do their engagement session on the property if they’d like to.  Now, we always like giving a little location variety between a couple’s engagement photos and their wedding photos, but when you’re shooting at an amazing venue like Condor’s Nest, we’re more than willing to make an exception.  This gives us the opportunity to utilize some spots in this incredible evening light that we might not get the chance to do at the wedding because you know….wedding timelines can get off track from time to time.

As with so many of our couples, Alyssa & Victor gave us the ol’ excuse “we’re terrible at posing, we don’t know what to do with our hands”, haha!!  We love hearing that because in a matter of minutes they were like pros.  Being on that side of the camera is nothing to be afraid of.  You just gotta trust us, be yourself and have a little fun.  Everything is going to be fine!  Oh, and if you find that you’re missing any of your organic lemons and oranges, it was probably Alyssa & Victor  🙂

So we hope you’ll enjoy this batch of images from Alyssa + Victor’s engagement session at The Condor’s Nest Ranch.  If you’re getting married at the Ranch, we hope you’ll contact us about capturing a ton of fun and beautiful images.  If you’re not getting married there, but are still interested in doing an engagement session there, we can put you in touch with Lisa to make the arrangements!  Come see why so many couples love working with Zelo Photography  🙂

ENJOY!
