E-Session with Keri Doolittle Photography

It's been a long time since we have posted, but we have been accomplishing many tasks in the past few months! We will be having another blog very soon with information about our hotel room blocks, but in the meantime, here are a few of our favorite pictures from our engagement photo session in case you haven't already seen them on facebook.

First we have to give you a little bit of a background story on this experience. Our photographer, Keri Doolittle is actually Lauren's second cousin and she is a GREAT photographer. We could not be more happy and excited about having her capture one of the most important moments in our lives. So, on to the e-session...Keri came from Denver, CO to LA to take our pictures which was great! We had a tiny scare leading up to the day of when the forecast was FULL of rain! All three of us were constantly checking weather.com and we spent the Friday night before searching for the perfect umbrella to embrace the rain. The day came and it wasn't looking like the best day to be taking pictures in SoCal, but on our way down to Venice to meet Keri, the skies miraculously opened and the sun popped out! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting and the pictures turned out to be beautiful. Be sure to check out Keri’s blog, she really does amazing work.
