I can’t say these two are nearly-weds because they were married back in May, but when I saw the photos that they took the day before their nuptials, my jaw DROPPED. I knew they were good- we’ve talked about them. But, THIS good??? No clue.
Mandy and Jordan knew that they wanted some type of “engagment” session, but really, they wanted it to be more fun, quirky, and high-fashion then they did lovey dovey. And their photographer, [who flew out from the midwest to shoot their wedding] Ryan Russell was the perfect fit.
The day before their wedding- yes, they DAY before- they went out with him to shoot these bad boys. I am crazy for the vintage feel. Crazy for the styling [all done by M&J, and their friends], and crazy for this couple. Essentially, I’m kookoo for cocoa puffs.
VERY personality heavy in this one:
The closest we’ll get to schmoopy:
These next two are so gorgeously 70’s-esque!!
This one reminds me of Austin Powers and the femme-bots, for some reason. I looove that’s she’s pushing him away and being so coquette!!
Even THISCLOSE to a wardrobe malfunction, Mandy keeps her cool- this picture is epic:
And, just in case you were wondering, their personalities, to the T, are displayed once again below:
The theme of the shoot rolled into this photo, awkwardly gorgeous:
Absolutely loooooove the feel of this one down here…
like an old rat pack photo. UGH!
This old theatre provided the perfect back drop, in the heart of downtown Oceanside!
So cool with his cigarette “prop”!!
Love this [Katy Perry song inspired, on my end] Waking-Up-In-Vegas look they’ve got here:
Hands down, my favorite:
I’m pretty sure that Ryan shoots 100% in film, which is what really gives these photos their character. I’m so so SO looking forward to seeing the shots he grabbed on the day of the wedding, too! But, seriously, how is THAT for a unique and fun engagement session??
Hope you’re having a better day than I am- my computer gave me the sad face last night, so it’s into the Apple store I go! Wish me luck!!
xoxo,
A.
