Adventures in Stylized E-Sessions With Mike + Britt!

I have a lil secret, sexxxy readers. My sweet Michael and I got to model in a lil photoshoot... with the fabulous and fearless Holly Steen of Cakes and Kisses Photography...  Me-oww! Holly brought along her wicked awesome art director/stylist, April Liaez de Brimer and wedding goddess creative coordinator, Wendy Ramos, (who is also our D.O.C.!)  Mike and I got to pick the concept, and what immediately came to our minds was none other than Griffith Park Observatory. We met 8 years ago in Astronomy 101. We were lab partners, and often studied outside of class together at the campus IHOP.  And since IHOP doesn't necessarily scream "stylized 1950's built-in charm," we went with a more fitting location. Part 1 of the shoot (yes, there are TWO parts. Hence the plural word in the title: adventureS) took place at the actual observatory at sunset. The place was hella crowded, but damn was the weather fine... It was a clear day in Los Angeles and we just let love rule. And by "let love rule" I mean make-out. In front of all these people. In front of a camera. But once we got over the "Oh, hi, Eastern European Bus Tour" awkwardness, we just let the kisses rip. And it was fun. There's something oddly empowering about P.D.A.'s when you don't care if anyone's looking. Here's a teaser:

Deliciousness, right? As for PART 2... we waited til the sun went down, drove our lil crew to the parking lot of The Greek, changed outfits, and brought out a whole new flavor... as Holly calls it, "A Dark Side of the Moon" flavor.  (There was literally a full moon that night, by the way. How fitting is that?) April brought this rad Alice in Wonderland 50's petticoat dress that I thankfully was able to squeeze into (those ladies in the 50's had to suck.it.in. whew!). Then each of us pointed our car lights toward set, and Holly just shot away, sorta guerrilla style in the dirt n stuff. She's down for anything. It was AWESOME. Check it:

We couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Holly, April and Wendy are a blast. They really just let us be "us." And that was super-important because it is intimidating as hell to dress up and take pictures in front of people. And that's exactly what we're going to be doing on our wedding day... so it's fantastic practice. And to top it off, it's fun... and we have these fabulous pictures of us that capture such an exciting time in our lives. Smiles all around.

Stay tuned for more, lovely readers...
