One of the best things about being a wedding photographer is getting to see old friends stop by and ask for pictures. I knew Marc from high school and to now see him preparing to get married to his beautiful fiance Jennifer, it really puts into perspective how much time has gone by. We took a trip back to UCLA and Westwood, where he spent his college years at, and really put to use the enormous amount of personal props they brought. Enjoy these teasers for now until the full shoot is up!

On our e-session with Ray and Wendy, our first stop was at a coffee shop in Pasadena.  The great part about it is that it’s the location of their first date together!  We made use of its brick façade and the objects around it that helped bring out their character a little bit more.  It was pretty much a goldmine to shoot there because the area surrounding the coffee shop just opened our range of ideas and creativity even more.  By the end of the shoot, we knew that we were getting the real Ray and Wendy and not a little-bit-cautious-in-front-of-the-camera Ray and Wendy anymore when we saw Ray trying to seduce her with a vine of grapes.   We finished off the shoot in Eaton Canyon where we set up a classic picnic.  That’s right, we brought back the romantic, plaid blanket kind of picnic.  Lucky for you, and us, we’re not close to being done with posting about these two because we’ve still got their wedding to cover!
