Continuing our roadtrip up the California coast, we headed to Orange County where our hosts were photographers Katrina and Brandon. Like Tavia and Ruben, when Brandon saw that we were going to be in his area, he kindly offered to have us stay with them and we were happy to accept. He also mentioned that he and Katrina would love a photo session with us and let’s face it, any excuse to take photos in the delicious California light is a good one!
Katrina and Brandon weren’t particularly excited about our choice of location, the overly photographed Santa Monica beach and pier, but being out-of-towners, this spot was brand new to us and we were excited to do our own thing there.

Here are some of our favorites:

  • kirsten lewis: Killer session you guys! Love, love, love the volleyball shot. (04.05.2010 08:49am)
  • Brandon + Katrina: Daniel + Davina, we knew from the start that these were going to blow our minds and be completely original from all of the other photographers that shot there. What is there not to say about these pictures? They are beautiful. Thank you so much for shooting us, we had such a fun time despite freezing our butts off walking along the pier :) P.S. That volleyball shot is my favorite engagement picture I have ever seen. It was definitely worth the wait. (04.05.2010 11:22am)
  • Jan Garcia: KICK ASS!! wow, all so beautiful and brilliant. But my favorite would have to be the silhouette w/ the biker and the ferris wheel in the background. Beautifully executed. (04.05.2010 02:36pm)
  • daniel usenko: that image of them sitting on the grass with the shadows of the palm trees - sooooo tasty (04.05.2010 02:41pm)

Brianna + Ewan | Las Vegas, NV

While in Vegas, Daniel and I had a beautiful room in the “west wing” of the MGM (we were upgraded for no reason, but we were happy to take it!). We couldn’t stop seeing potential photos everywhere so we asked Brianna and Ewan (pronounced YOU-WIN, as we discovered!), fellow married photographers, if they would let us “use them” for a mini-session. It was our second shoot in a row where our subjects were fellow wedding photographers and I have to say, it is a little intimidating, but a whole lot of fun!

Here are a few:

  • Daniel Stark: awesome! love all the reflections and lighting---nice work! have fun on your road trip! (03.15.2010 11:24am)
  • Brianna Phelan: I just wanted to say thank you. 1) For being such awesome people. 2) For being so generous. 3) For being so damn talented. We love them and love you two and can't wait to see you again next month. Thank you so much for this beautiful gift. (03.15.2010 12:00pm)
  • romin: so much fun! my room was so ugly i had to take my couple out to the desert to shoot them :) (03.15.2010 04:16pm)
  • ohana photographers: beautifully genuine images of beautifully genuine people. loves bri and ewan we do. (03.15.2010 04:49pm)
  • Ewan Phelan: What an awesome thing to come upon today. Thanks a million guys. They are gorgeous. It was so wonderful to meet you guys and spend time with you in Vegas. Can't wait to see you next month and return the favour. I have some great ideas for the two of you. Be nervous, haha. (03.15.2010 06:52pm)
  • Eileen Broderick: These are beautiful. Love the lighting--so simple yet dramatic. Really nice. And damn--they're cute! (03.15.2010 08:03pm)
  • Luis Mateus: Great as usual. Nice pics (03.16.2010 06:39am)
  • Yair Estrada-Wagner: WOW!!! Great shoot. Ewan and Briana look adorable. Love to see this. (03.16.2010 08:44pm)
  • Cindy: amazing lighting of some of my favorite photographers! these are magical! (03.18.2010 10:48am)
  • Heather Kincaid: You guys totally rocked this session! I love how you captured Ewan and Brianna- so perfect. :) (03.19.2010 10:40pm)
