{ Kelie + Kaare | Santa Monica Pier Engagement }
I was so excited when Kelie contacted me for their engagement session! They had not yet set a date or location for their wedding, but wanted to do a session around the colorful Santa Monica Pier. I have shot at the pier quite a few times (this was in fact the first of 2 in 2 weeks!) but I loved the challenge of finding new spots and putting new spins on old ones. And of course, Kelie & Kaare’s personalities and love created a session that was so uniquely them. I adore when a location reflects who a couple is, and I really think the bright pier and the calm beach was THE perfect backdrop for their chill yet ridiculously fun personalities!
My favorite shots of the day? The ones with the cotton candy! In all our SM pier shoots, this was the first where we incorporated this delightful (yet sticky) treat.

I’m especially proud to say even though it’s titled “Kelie + Kaare,” that it took me like, forever to realize that was indeed Kelie and her Kaare.
I’m a trained observer, by the way, haha.
I do likey the end product though.

These are so cute! They remind me of my day at Santa Monica, if only my card hadn’t failed and left me without photos :( Maybe I should get you to take some more for me when I next visit the US!
