Darcy and Todd's e-session in Venice

Last weekend, I headed down to shoot Darcy and Todd's e-session up where they live in Venice Beach. I think they would claim to be camera shy but ,as the day went on, they seemed to get pretty comfortable. :) My favorite sister-in-law (and fellow photog), Angela, accompanied me, too (Thanks for joining us, Ang!).

It was quite a fun adventure... We started off at their house, headed down by the canals, walked by some of the very cool beach front houses (one of which is theirs... WOW... it's beautiful!), and then we headed down to James Beach, one of their favorite local restaurants/bars... and, might I add... the home of THE BEST margarita I've ever had... and that's saying a lot! Yes... I (we) drank on the job... don't tell anyone... ok? C'mon... :)

Anyhoo... we had a fabulous time and I can't wait to shoot their wedding in August at Verandas in Manhattan Beach. Enjoy my favorites below... Thanks for the fun afternoon, guys!

We found this book just sitting on the ground in an alley... I thought it was perfect... because of the color! :) But seriously, "the untouched histories"... these two are both historians... how perfect?!

Isn't Darcy pretty? :)

What a cute couple...

A shot through the chair...

Yes... that margarita on the end of the bar... that's mine... don't even think about it...

my favorite shot...

And... finally... Darcy and Todd show you their muscles on the boardwalk... watch out or they'll "crunch" you! :)
