Weddingsat long last it's finally here! what's here you ask? kelley and shane week! we've been counting down to kelley and shane's wedding for a while now and this friday it's finally here. we recently headed up the coast to do their engagement session around one of their favorite hangouts, the venice canals. we wandered around for the afternoon and ended up under the lights of the old venice sign. i absolutely love seeing the places our couples hang and hearing stories of how they met and what they like to do. maybe i'm dorky, but i dig it. kelley and shane are super cool. they schooled us with loads of local facts as we strolled along the canals and streets of one of the coolest towns in california, venice beach. i can't wait for this friday!
kelley's gorgeous golden hair was soaking up all kinds of sunshiny sweetness.
i was temporarily blinded by awesome.
the dialogue for this shot goes a little something like this...
i know what you're wondering... yes, i am the drummer for the hanks and yes, our band rules, but they're not here right now. i'm with my smokin' hot fiance right now tryin' to take some pictures. scram!
kelley and shane found some pure california goodness to snuggle in.
the dialogue for this shot goes a little something like this...
i know what your wondering and yes, i am the hottest girl in venice. see that dude back there? i'm going to marry him. he will be mine. oh yes. he will be mine.
venice had some pretty rad graffiti. kelly and shane made it even radder. yes that's a word.
this is why you should never mess with shane...
he'll straight up karatecize you. nice form shane.
here's the capper. no matter where else we went or what other pictures we took, our main goal was to get a shot under the old venice sign. i absolutely love it. it just feels all old-timey and cool.
imagine how cool this shot is gonna look when kelley and shane are in their full wedding gear. it's going to be more rad than our rock band skills, that's all i know.
on a side note, we want to send out a HUGE thank you to kelley's beautiful and talented sister roxy. without her, we would have never met venice's super couple, shane and kelley. much love roxy. see you friday!

Hello Ohana....This is Danielle. We talked about your company doing some pictures for me and my fiance. I really like your blog and we both love your shots. After looking at this Kelley/Shane shoot I would love it if you took our photos. # 2, 4, and 8 is the look I was thinking about. These look very relaxed. The two are in a very natural state, not set up at all. # 9 I really connected with. She seems to really find comfort in him. These shots are great!!!
We will see you for our engagement shoot and our Wedding shoot in the Virgin Islands!! Can't wait!
These are super fun. My fave is the bridge shot. :) I likey!
Can we say "SUN FLARE"? I love the third shot--beautiful!

What a great couple! They look so happy and in love! I don't think there's a shot in the bunch where they're not smiling and completely enjoying each other. Kelley has the most beautiful blue eyes!!! Way to capture her obvious beauty! Shane looks like a real character! Love the kung fu shots! :) Congrats to the great couple! Can't wait to see the wedding pics! :)
Make me a carbon copy of your talent please.... Serve it up with some of your kick ass personality and watch me go far! I'm jelous!!! My color of the day is green! Green with envy, green with suck (because u live to damn far away to hang), green with nausea (because the photos are insane!).
