We loved spending the afternoon with Tina & Sam! Tina is full of energy - vivacious, lively and all smiles. Sam is her warm and easygoing counterpart. And together they fit just perfectly - like puzzle pieces, like peanut butter and jelly, like frosties and fries - and it was a joy watching them interact in their element and getting to know them better before their wedding day. I love when couples trust us to do our thang and run with our style during sessions, but I also love when they throw in some fun ideas of their own. Tina was full of great ideas that really personified their session - and there was one particular one at the end that was definitely a first for us! :)

We started off in downtown LA and then headed west to Santa Monica to finish up the session at the pier. Tina & Sam - we had so much fun and can’t wait for your wedding next month!

Loved her flowy, ethereal dress - it was perfect for the session!

And a surprise at the end… just as we were finishing up the shoot, Tina pulled a switcheroo and asked if she could snap a few of us! It marked the first time Scott and I have had a client take our photo and as you can see, we definitely have some practicing to do and awkwardness to dissipate before we can work it like all our couples do on the other side of the lens! *sheepish grin*
