Ok, so..we can’t decide on which gorgeous model/actress Teresa looks like…but these two should definitely have their own sitcom. It would be about a couple of crazy kids who love Disney, tea, and running for good causes while navigating this kooky thing we call life. We would call it Tea Cups and Jogging (brought to you by Disney? hint hint). It is a hit and you know it! They also had their first date on our (Marianne + Joe’s) wedding day..so we are all pretty much meant to be best friends. Oh yeah, and here are some photos. Enjoy!

Warning: Long post with lots of photos ahead!!

We cannot express how fun and cool Laura and Chris’ wedding was to shoot! We knew the wedding would be a blast as soon as they let us know that it was a fiesta themed event. They picked the theme because when they met they were both working at Mexican Restaurants in Manhattan and they met at their favorite Mexican restaurant! They also had two of the most epic reception surprises we have seen! since Chris had sang at many of their guests weddings, some of their guests and bridal party sang to the two of them! The song was “A few of our favorite Mann things”…and it was amazing. The favorite “thing,” of course, being Laura. Chris and Laura also collected all their guests favorite songs on the RSVP cards and made a MASSIVE mix of all of their favorites to end the night! The dance floor was at full capacity!

So check out the photos of all the awesomeness that is Laura and Chris. :)

So how is everyone in Southern California enjoying this lovely summer? Wait…winter? Those Starks are full of it, man.

Well, let us tell you that we braved a frigid 75 degree Malibu beach day (complete with insane sunset and all) in January with these two crazy kids. Yes, please take pity on us for our overwhelming plight. :)

In all seriousness, Jess and Drew are extra fun and were an absolute blast to shoot and hang out with. Their engagement session made us just that much more excited to shoot their Ojai Valley Inn wedding later this year. It is going to be insanely awesome. :)
