Last April 15th Mark and I bought our house in Ladera Ranch under the impression that we were moving into a cute, perfect, quite, white picket fens neighborhood. We had no idea that the house came with 9 of our closet friends. I met jessica only a few days after I moved in. We began to go on walks together, swim together, and fight crime on the weekends. Its weird to think about, and say out loud that we have only know Jessica for about a year because our friendship feels like we have been in the same gang of friends since kindergarden...

Add Your Comment!High Fives amigos!! Good look indeed. Jessica and Jeff look so happy, as always! We LOVE all of you and are stoked to have you as friends. Where did you find a field with a bookshelf, a lamp and chair in it? Too awesome!

These are AWESOME! It’s so true that photographers never have good pictures of themselves. What a great idea!

The make-out picture is my fave. I think everyone should make out like that in a makeshift living room outside and have a picture of it! PDA rocks! Congrats to new and cute couple!

Casey Figlewicz 03/31/2009
Love these – the color is awesome!
Emily Beaty 03/31/2009
Putting that furniture in a field next to their clothing selection…that’s some cool, inspired stuff. Do you guys have a lot of interaction with your couples about their wardrobe choices? The blue of his sweater in opposition to the super-saturated green of the grass in the sixth shot down locks you right into her face…this post rocks.
Rich Mattingly 03/31/2009

Bobby Earle 04/1/2009
It’s so amazing to me because even though I live across the continent from each of you (in Alabama), I feel so close to all of you fellow photogs because I follow each of your blogs & you all talk about each other and have pictures of one another all over the place and it’s just crazy to me how small of a world it is!
Whitney 04/1/2009

Thanks for the blog note, Mark
These photos are gorgeous and the light is to die for – AND – in a happy twist of events, I stumbled upon them the very day my very own Shootsac arrived in the mail.
Nicole Haley 04/2/2009

…these are FUN!! love the images with the side table, lamp and funky chair…FUN STUFF!! : )
lauren c.-openField. 04/7/2009
I don’t think I ever realized how gorgeous Jessica is. I guess we don’t get to see many pictures of her taken by someone OTHER than her. These photos are amazing; the lighting and colors are flawless. Love them!
erin harvey 04/8/2009
These are brilliant.. I am sure they love them and even more so now that they are engaged..
