Any couple that has created a “merged name” (a.k.a. “Brangelina”) is automatically more fun. Brett and Jessica, sometimes referring to themselves as “Bressica” are so stinkin’ adorable I can hardly stand it!
When Brett and Jessica contacted me, they were getting ready to move away from their beloved city, Santa Monica. They wanted to capture their engagement photos in the place where they fell in love, to remember the amazing years they had there.
Brett works in two worlds, one of them as a manager for an up-and-coming band in LA. He’s a great musician and they both love spending time together around music, so we had to do some improv playing in the park. Jessica has a history in the acting and performing industry, and she was a total ham in front of the camera. Like I said, aren’t they TOO adorable to stand?
Oh yeah – they are madly competitive at Scrabble, too – I bet they could have kept playing for hours if I didn’t pull them away to our next shooting location… haha!
Some of the last images from the shoot were quite emotional ones. We were shooting the night before they were moving away. Literally. Boxes were packed. So, we headed up to the rooftop of their apartment complex where they emotionally said farewell to their favorite city.
This is where Brett originally proposed to Jessica: The Laemmie Santa Monica
One of their favorite views of the piers and amazing cliffside beaches in Santa Monica
A tearful goodbye to a city they loved…. and where they fell in love.
May these photos be a wonderful encapsulation of the many years you started the foundation of love, a wonderful life together that will soon become marriage. I wish you all the best!
