SHANNON.AND.JEFF.::.THE.INTRODUCTION.

it's as if we were best friends.

oh wait... we are. in fact i can remember back to the very moment where my friend jeff called 'dibs' on shannon. he knew what he wanted, and after much anticipation, shannon & jeff are planning their wedding.

words can't express how rad these two are. shannon just graduated from cal poly while jeff owns & operates resist surfboards out of ventura, california.

it is such a blessing to have clients whom we have never met, seek us out to play a special part in the telling of their story. but even more so, when a friend, someone
who knows the innermost parts of carlie's and my being, finds value in what we do and chooses us... wow... so cool.

so, without further adieu, i give you shannon & jeff, two rockstars that will for sure light up the stage on their wedding day this november...




not for horses.

tough.

despite the onslaught of heat and the more-than-likely-chance at getting attacked by an army of ticks that would surely leave us ill & bed-ridden for the rest of our years, we made the trek to the top of a... wait for it...

mountain. that's right, a mountain.

because mountains are awesome.

we had so much fun pulling off these last two shots.
and seriously... about the model thing.


as if shannon & jeff weren't rockin' enough, here's some slideshow love...
