Autumn Reeser & Jesse Warren are some of the most talented people I know. Autumn is a stellar actress and Jesse is a director/writer/producer. They have so much chemistry together it is ridiculous!!! 

For those of you that are O.C. fans, Autumn played Taylor Townsend on the show and has been in quite a few other shows & movies that we fancy over at the Rhoads abode. I am especially excited to see Autumn play in the upcoming season of Entourage, she was recently cast on the HBO comedy and it is one of Chris's very favorite shows.

When we were in the L.A. area we shot some engagements for these two. We went to the Westwood area, where Autumn & Jesse's love came alive and even shot at the park where they first dropped the big L-bomb with one another :). After that we headed down to Venice Beach where the two of them like to skate/run together, so Autumn busted out her snazzy skates for the occasion. It was so stinkin' fun... I love when I get to go places with couples that mean something to them. Jesse & Autumn know how to have a good time and Chris and I left feeling like we had two new friends. Enjoy some frames from these two cuties.... there are a couple images in here that might be my favorites of all time. ;)

how do you always seem to get everything in the frame to sculpt to what you want... even the stinking dog stays in or out of focus... you are wonderful and we miss you

LOVE the one shot through the fence. and the one with their feet/skates and the puppy shaking is perfect timing... the dog in action really makes the frame.

Lyndzee of EP says: Monday, April 6, 2009, 11:34 AM

Its crazy Taylor Townsend!!! LOVE HER. No acting here my friends,, none at all! Love the shot where it looks like he's bringing her up from a dip and the second to the last. How amazing it is to see a beautiful couple so completely in love. Well done my friends,, well done! Whoop whoop!!
