Yes, oh yes, this truly is the most adorable couple I've ever had the chance to photograph!!! My Aunt Karen + Uncle Floyd! Their daughter Kaitlyn surprised them with a portrait session for Christmas last year and Justin and I finally were able to get them in front of our cameras a few weeks ago. I watched them as we did the portrait session and I saw complete, utter, and unbelievable happiness. I want to be like them when Justin and I grow up!

My first and favorite shot of the day!

Amelia and Justin. We love our pics! I am so grateful to you and Kaitlyn, as we probably would have never taken pictures of just us! You are amazingly talented and actually the best part of the day was being with you and Justin. I loved watching you guys work together. We just had so much fun! Thank you so much!!!

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_001.jpgjp_002.jpgjp_003.jpgI've had this shot in my head for quite some time, I'm glad I finally got to do it!
jp_006.jpgjp_007.jpgjp_008.jpgjp_009.jpgjp_010.jpgMy favorite shot of the day!!!
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!
jp_014.jpgjp_017.jpgJet threw on some rain boots to make walking in sand easier, I thought it was a fun look.
jp_018.jpgjp_020.jpgMy second favorite shot of the day! *Photographers-Justin and recently purchase Radio-Poppers and we LOVE them!
Amid the craziness of Santa Monica pier.
