We've known Darcy and JJ for a few years now and when we heard that they were finally getting married we thought..."how awesome would that be to shoot their wedding!" Long story short...we are and we're super excited and honored to be shooting it for them! **To skip straight to the slideshow, click on anyone of the pictures** One of the reasons why we were hoping to shoot their wedding was because we knew they're style was right up our alley. And as most of you know, Lauren and I did our engagement shoot in an alley also so we felt right at home =) Even though it wasn't in Santa Monica like ours was, we found somewhere just as cool if not cooler in a place called Downtown Pomona.

Aren't those bikes the craziest and coolest bikes you've ever seen??!! When they pulled up and showed us the bikes we knew this was going to be a super fun time. We even put a little surprise at the end of the slideshow...something we've never done before. =) Here are more of some of our favorites...

One of the things we learned on this shoot was that some of the coolest places to are sometimes places you pass by everyday without noticing. That field that we were is on the side of a road we taken to church every Sunday for the past who knows how long! Thanks honey for spotting this one out!! =) Darcy and JJ, thanks so much in believing in us and our work. We had such a blast hanging out with you both and can't wait for your wedding!! =) We hope you love the pictures because we had a blast shooting them! We love you guys =) **If you didn't get the note above, clicking on any one of the pictures gets you to our slideshow!**
