Santa Monica Pier Engagement: Brock & Kelly

I didn't completely believe Kelly when she told me that everyone was obsessed with her dog, Duke.. "Everyone loves him." she said. Based on the cell phone pictures she showed me, he was an adorable little Frenchie that was totally posing for her photos but I didn't quite understand the full extent of his celebrity until our session at the Santa Monica Pier! Well for starters, I'm pretty sure that my voice went up a couple of octaves when I first saw him and started squeaking at him.. and I kid you not, people were literally stopping them as we walked along the pier to pet him, take pictures with him, and chat Brock & Kelly up about his supreme cuteness. Anyway, enough about this ridiculously cute dog.. Brock & Kelly are also ridiculously cute and such good sports! Because, due to unforeseen HORRIFIC traffic (thanks a lot, Cirque De Sol), we only had about 45 minutes to run around the pier and dodge the swarms of people to get our shots. Also, half the pier was missing (Really?!) so the normal amount of weekend Pier-goers was squished into one side of the pier! But despite the random circumstances these two rocked it out and we got some amazing images! I'm so excited that these two chose me to photograph their wedding this summer :)
