jessie & steven :: engaged :: los angeles, ca

Lately I’ve been a bit obsessed with the Pixar movie Up.  When Jessie & Steven’s coordinator, Katy Carrier, & I were talking up ideas for this session, we decided balloons would be a fun prop for these two.  I decided I wanted pastels like in Up.  Upon arriving at the shoot, Jessie pulls out a grape soda badge (“the Ellie badge” for those of you versed in Up lingo) from the flick for her beau.  I about died I was so excited!

Katy also brought us these delicious cupcakes to play with.  Jessie and Steven were too cute with them!

Then it was time for a quick change and some more fun!  Steven was named for thee Steve McQueen.  She says this is her favorite shirt of his.

We also found some AMAZING light.  LACMA rocks.

We ended our session with a request from Jessie.  A series of their “secret handshake”.  I guess it’s not so secret anymore.  Can’t wait for their wedding this fall!  Thanks to Katy Carrier of Katy Carrier Events for all her help with this session.
