For our last shoot of the four day weekend, one of our favorite couples Candy + Dave came out for a fun Day After shoot. If you remember their engagement, it was entitled “Death of the Single Life” and we shot it in a cemetery. And their wedding was Day of the Dead themed. Flash forward several months; our super-fantastic blog designer Will found this perfect cemetery. It was just begging for us to do a Day After shoot with them in it!

We’re very attracted to the idea of the dark side of love. What I mean by that is; marriage is hard. Like, if you don’t think about getting a divorce at least once, there’s something wrong with you! (Maybe that’s why so many marriages end in divorce; they just don’t realize feelings of wanting to kill the other person are completely normal. Rest assured; they are! Ha.) And we love that Candy + Dave get that. That’s why their shoots have meant so much to us.

And we got to work with our very talented friends again: Makeup: Amy Marie Clarke and Hair: Hair by Melody

This is the shot I had envisioned and I didn’t even take it!

They’re so sweet; they melt my heart. BTW, anytime you see shots like this, it’s usually by my melty heart man, Jeremy.

Candy is amazingly gorgeous.

This is probably my fave. It’s always hard for me to choose!

He was a man.

What’s up with cemeteries closing so early?!
We ended up getting locked in and had to hop the fence! Dave climbed over first and got our handy ladder out of the car so we could climb over more easily.

Thanks Candy + Dave for being up for this and for dinner!

Okay, I’m a cheater. Previews are ways of doing blogs without REALLY doing blogs. I’m taking forever picking them. As usual. Plus Polaroids are good on their own.

Guess where we did their shoot?

For our first shoot of last weekend’s photo-a-thon (I’m bloggging out of order) we shot Jenn + Matt. They live in Vegas and booked us without meeting us! So we were excited to meet them in person. And we had a wonderful time at lunch talking about the wedding. Then we got to shoot in the exclusive Emerald Bay Community of Laguna Beach!

This is one of my faves. On Emerald Bay’s private beach.

They are fun!

These adorable dogs belonged to their friend and I just had to put them up!

This dog REALLY wanted to be in the picture!

We really liked this floor and wanted to do something with it.

We had so much fun with you Jenn + Matt and Judie! Can’t wait for the wedding!

This weekend I got together with my very talented friends Amy (Makeup Artist) and Melody (Hair by Melody) and three models for this fun shoot. And I have to say, we all ROCKED the heck out of it! Here’s another LONG post!

Ally. This style fit her personality perfectly!

Yummy!

Shannon. The camera loves her!

I adore this hairstyle!

One of my faves from the shoot.

Jony Bos and The Grants go way back. We’ve been waiting for the perfect girl to come into his life and she did! Emily was introduced to Jony from a mutual friend (Melody), which is funny because their extended families have actually known each other for years!

As I was looking through the pictures, I couldn’t stop smiling. They’re both so cute that when you combine them, you get a double dose of adorable-cuteness that you can barely handle! They have such a sweetness about them.

They wanted to do the shoot in Downtown Pasadena so we just made a day of it. And we took a gazillion pictures. So get cozy; this is going to be a long one!

And we just realized there will be seven of our couples at their March wedding!

FACT: Emily is adorable.

This feels very New York to me. I’ve been dreaming about going. Sigh.

One of my faves that Jeremy shot.

Guess who poked their big head out?!?!

I wanted to get a Polaroid of me and Emily too but I ran out!

One of my other faves that Jeremy shot.

This one reminded me of a Paparazzi shot of the hot couple.

I love the primary colors in this.

Jony proposed to Emily by giving her these shoes with her new last name.

Jeremy did this with the camera.

FACT: Jony is a giant.

Jony Bos.

Dancing cuteness.

They even make picking their noses look cute!

We love you Jony + Emily and we’re so excited to be a part your wedding day!
