Mrs. and Mr. Goodnickels are us. We're wife-and-husband photographers with the privilege of documenting some profoundly awesome moments for some profoundly awesome people. This is what we've been up to lately!

These two are good times. We poked around the park, played with trees, and refereed a couple of staring contests. We can't wait for this wedding... Every indication suggests that it will be a very, very good time!

Last weekend, we met up with Carolyn and Jon for a glass of wine and some engagement portraits before their September wedding. You have to love a weekend where you hang out with very fun clients who play a game of trust for the camera!

We really love working in our own neighborhood, and since Carolyn and Jon are Cardiff locals, we decided there wasn't any good reason to go further than a few blocks from their apartment. Even the solo portraits that look like we dragged around a piece of white-seamless were actually just courtesy of some stark-white concrete panels on the wall behind Seaside Market. Ironically, this was one of the very rare occasions that we pulled a flash out of our bag, and we were using it to blow out a wall instead of pointing it at our subjects!

Frances and Marcus couldn't schedule an engagement shoot with us, so they opted instead to take some portraits after the wedding. In this case, way after! We played around in stormy weather in the Goodnickels' hometown of Encinitas. Got wet and dirty-- and then ate some eggs and potatoes, just the way it should be!

Here are a few fun ones:
