Oh I could have photographed this beautiful couple around this pretty neighborhood all day! The Venice Canals are such an LA gem and I always find myself daydreamining about living in one of those homes, with their own little docks and of course a canoe (can’t forget the canoe!) We meandered around the walkways and these two just made my job so so easy.

They were married at Cafe Pinot just a few weeks ago and I can’t wait to share their romantic urban wedding next!

Quite possibly one of the dreamiest shoots I’ve been a part of. The watercolor sunset, the softness of her dress, the sparkle of the ocean, and a fantastic couple like this – I seriously feel so lucky to cross paths with couples {sometimes from as far as across the ocean, like in this case} who come to me with a vision for their photos that so perfectly matches what I love to create, and who completely let their personalities & love show in front of the camera.

There is another fun urban portion of this session that I hope to share soon, but I felt these beach moments at the end of the day deserved their own post. The simplicity of it all just makes me so so happy – that it was just the ocean, the pretty light, and Pien & Hsun enjoying each other’s presence :)

Now despite everything your brain is telling you, these are not Anthropologie/J.Crew/UO models. They are just my fabulous clients, Sandy & Eric, who are not only ridiculously good looking, but also fun, and sweet, and putting together a beautiful wedding for this summer at the Skirball. I always love shooting around Abbot Kinney in Venice – the bright colors, cute storefronts, and artsy-hipstery-urbany vibe make it one of my fave spots to both hang out & shoot, and this time was no exception!
