Kelli and Wes are just plain AWESOME! They are the kind of couple that isn’t afraid to laugh at themselves, and come up with wacky costume ideas for their engagement shoot (more on that later).

When I first moved to OC, I lived a few blocks from the Orange Circle, so I spent countless hours photographing nearly everything surrounding it. This weekend I had such a blast re-exploring Old Town Orange, and getting a fresh new perspective. The weather was perfect, and despite having a 102 degree fever the day before, Kelli worked it like a champ!

So without further ado, meet Kelli and Wes!

Love the alley’s in Orange!

Yummy light!

Fun fact: Kelli and Wes are getting married next March, and are relocating to Hawaii later this year… so jealous!! ;)

Lookin’ good Wes!

How cute is Kelli’s dress? Love it!

I’m not even sure how to explain the next part of the shoot… Kelli described to me her “mail order bride” idea and I literally had no clue what it would look like, but thought it was hilarious! So here is the plot: Wes ordered his Japanese bride, Kelli, and they are meeting for the first time…

Typical serious formal photo.

Haha love the socks! ;)

Kelli and Wes, it was such a blast photographing you both and congratulations on the big day!

P.S. you win the award for best engagement shoot idea… EVER!
