It all started in 2006 when a young man with a fresh college degree talked me into moving into 317 17th st in Surf City USA. Little did we know that the girl we met within a week of moving in and less than a block away on 210 17th st. would end up falling in love with Brando, 6 years later. I’ll save the long story and suffice to say that these two are one of the funnest / most ridiculous couples i know and I’m super excited to that my long time college roommate, fellow band member (He was the lead singer/song writer for Chili Davis back in the glory years), and travel buddy has met a girl that makes him tongue tied and twitter-patted. These two will move mountains together! Soo excited for you guys. Ps, my wife advised Brandon to date Rhyll many years ago, just for the record. Can’t wait for the party May 25th!
We decided to hit up all the local spots in Huntington Beach that had special meanings for these two… starting with the 317 and 210 17th st…
Favorite shot of the night
Turns out Marissa’s family had moved to Huntington Beach, just a few miles from EJ’s family, so it was obvious it was meant to be. They were down with any location so I took them somewhere off the beaten path I had come across mt biking a few days earlier. Although we didn’t get started until 15 minutes before the sunset, we managed to get some great light anyways. The boots, balloons and concrete all came together for a nice edgy, yet romantic mix. As you can see we tried a ton of things with these two after the sunset until it just got too cold to take anymore pictures. Can’t wait for their wedding this summer in my old stompin grounds, Huntington Beach! Hope you like them.
