When the early morning light touches the boardwalk in Venice Beach, California - it could feel as if you have the entire place to yourself. A truely rare moment for the always-populated landmark and visitor destination. However, photographer & stylist couple, Aaron and Lwayn Smith, managed to capture this perfect "Golden Hour" moment with model, Torian Ellison, and the results are simply phenomenal.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

We are a husband and wife, photographer and stylist team. Our lives collided while living in the dorms of the Savannah College of Art and Design. We were both pursuing our BFA’s in Photography and Fashion Design, Marketing and Management. After loosing touch for a couple years, our paths crossed and we fell madly in love. Our move to Los Angeles, like our collaborative career paths, were never discussed, always assumed and one of the greatest things to ever happen to us. Since tying the knot in October of 2013 our work has become more intertwined as we push each other’s creative boundaries and redefine what marriage means to us.
