ANDREA.AND.BRETT.::.THE.INTRODUCTION.

once you get past their tall frames, perfect skin, and warm smiles, andrea and brett are really nice. we recently had the blessing to meet and shoot their engagement. andrea found this little secret garden not too far from where she & brett will announce their vows, which carlie & i could not be more excited for!

andrea & brett met through mutual friends. i love story for the intricacies. with andrea's best friend having attended westmont & brett having completed his undergrad work at the santa barbara school, their lives crossed long before their lives crossed. after graduating, brett from westmont, andrea from humboldt state, both found themselves in the northwest. andrea's second night in portland, the two met at a concert, began dating in december, and in brett's words it was 'off to the races!'

so, now... these two charming personalities have lightened their load, made the move back to sunny so-cal, and are in the final preparations before their wedding. andrea & brett, we can't wait for your wedding... less than 5 weeks away!

make sure to check out the slide show, at the bottom. and, here's a couple of the couple...
wait for it...

wait for it...

...meet andrea & brett.
nice to meet you too.



i thought my new friend [and one of the rockinest photogs on the wedding scene] jeff, might like this one.
...hittin up the green room for some love. when dane sent me this referral, he didn't tell me andrea & brett had professional modeling experience. seriously! hot!!! [i need more exclamation marks!!!!!!!]




here's the slide show. i hope it leaves you skipping...

  24. I'm really digging the vintage straight faced shot. Did you achieve this post process with some totally rad actions?! I've been trying to get that look on some of my photos.
