Jessica Snow, or better known to me as Jet Snow, has been following Justin & my work for a few years now ever since Justin did a shoot for Eliza Magazine. Now she is getting married to the her sweetheart Pat! Jet + Pat decided to hire us for a fun fantastic pre-wedding shoot in Santa Monica. We started out at the LDS Temple, it was really nice to have them all to myself. Unlike all of the other times I've shot at this temple, it's always been on a wedding day with all of the wedding guests and family around along with the hustle and bustle of the day's activities. So it was super nice to be have the luxury of time in order to get as creative as I wanted. Jet + Pat were super uber sweet to work with, I loved their dynamic and style together!

jp_011.jpgjp_012.jpgjp_013.jpgWe ended up at the Santa Monica Pier. The light was perfect, the weather was perfect, and of course Jet + Pat were perfect!

Jet! Why does you dress have to be so much better than my dress was!? Nevermind...it's not a contest ;). Amelia, you made my beautiful friend look as amazing as she does is real life! And you captured her even more gorgeous spirit. Love to you all!

Amy: I always thought the LA Temple was a horrible place to shoot wedding photos - but you make it look so awesome! I wish I'd had you shoot my wedding when I got married there!

Hello Hello dear Blog readers! Justin here again, with a VERY important post!!!

I want to wish a VERY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my amazing wife and best friend - AMELIA! 

I still remember the first time that I saw her. So unexpected. Time-stopping. Seriously, it was straight out of a movie. Always being the hopeful romantic, I knew that this was it! She was the one! I didn't care that she was with her boyfriend at the time. That didn't matter to me. All I cared about was the instant feeling that overcame me that I already knew her, and had so for a long time. It was like seeing a long lost friend that I had lost touch with! Such a new and exciting feeling. I knew it would only be a matter of time, and a whole different story which I won't go into here, until I eventually might find myself lucky enough to call her mine!!! And that day indeed came!

Amelia, you seriously are the best! I am so proud of you. It brings a joyous tear to my smiling face when I see you lovingly care for, and mother, our children. It makes me happy knowing that I get to spend the rest of my forever with you! You are so talented! I hope your birthday is the greatest ever! Here's to you and all of your wishes and dreams! May they all come true!!

Oh, and this picture of you just makes me so happy!!!! You are my amazing bride, and you do hold the world on your fingertip!!!!! ;)

Today I have discovered your blog. I have been watching your photos for 3 hours and I was crying, really, as they are so gorgeous! just amazing, they are so marvellous, I still don't believe that someone can shoot like this. You are a miracle. And couples and families are so happy, these moments are the happiest moments of life and you caught them all. These people are so lucky to have you as their photographer. Thank you so much, thank you! You make us believe that life could be a dream. I admire your work!
