When I started planning our vacation, I knew I wanted to hire a professional photographer to shoot us. I think it’s a smart move so you don’t end up with photos missing a member of the family who ends up doing all the photographing *mostly me* and you have gorgeous photos as a vacation keepsake. I first fell in love with Lee’s photography after stumbling upon this sweet wedding on Pinterest. So a few months ago I contacted him on Facebook. We messaged back and forth and set up a date and time. Little did I underestimate the time it takes to get places in London. Even though we tried our best to hurry to the car rental place, we didn’t get out of there until after  2pm. I felt so bad making Lee wait for us but he was sooo cool about it.
We met at our hotel The Ace Shoreditch. He shot us like he was a dear family friend. He knew every single shot I wanted and made sure they were quirky and unique. We took shots all over Shoreditch *which is the raddest part of London*. I took some photos of the shoot with our camera but I can not wait to see the photos he took.

I bought this mask from Amazon. I LOVE Liv creepy bunny face!!!

Of course she had to jump on the bed

Let’s get weird!

We took a break in between locations for a drink at the bar downstairs

Fancy a drink?

Lee couldn’t stop shooting Olivia. He filled up a whole memory card with our photos

Wow, I am impressed with this lovely photo Antz snapped of Liv enjoying her lemonade

Cheers Mate!

I love how beautiful British currency is. America needs more women on our money!!

We made another friend in the lobby. Londoners are extremely friendly!

We found a Banksy right across the street from our hotel! In London, they protect his art with plexiglass from art thieves.

Liv really liked the poodle, she’s become a Junior Banksy enthusiast

Lee is part of the family now, it’s official!

He didn’t seem to mind me dorking out and was totally fine with my weird ideas

I adore Lee, he was such a sweet, fun and genuine guy!

Don’t we look like we just got married?

We had so much fun *I rather enjoyed walking around in a creepy ass rabbit mask* walking about, taking photos of all the awesome street art. Shoreditch is totally like the Arts District in Downtown LA. Like it used to be old, creepy and abandoned but now it has a new life full of young peeps, fancy hotels, restaurants and cool shops. I could live there.

I hope to get the photos from Lee in a few weeks. I only saw a peek of them during the shoot but the ones I saw gave me goosebumps. I can’t wait to be surprised with the amazing results. Thanks Lee, you are fucking brilliant!!
