Liz & Jonathan :: 1-10-2014 :: Wedding in San Marcos


What a joyous and romantic day! Liz and Jonathan's wedding was held at the beautiful Twin Oaks Estate in San Marcos. We started the day by getting some detail and getting ready shots. Liz did her make-up and hair and got dressed in the yellow vintage school-house building on the venue's grounds. After she was dressed and donned her green stockings (an homage to her favorite book, Peter Pan), I took some photos with Liz and the girls while Tim took some photos with Jonathan and his groomsmen. As the sun was beginning to sparkle and set, Liz and Jonathan exchanged vows under a white gazebo surrounded by beautiful, tall eucalyptus trees. After the ceremony, we took photos all around the gorgeous estate which included manicured gardens, an orange grove and a greenhouse. Then we headed to the beautiful reception tent for toasts, a delicious dinner and lots of dancing! The decor included toy trucks on the table, an homage to Jonathan's love of off-roading. After most of the reception events had ended, we snuck off with the newlyweds to get a few magical shots under the green, sparkling arches in the garden. After the last song, the couple made their getaway in Jonathan's beefed-up Suzuki Samurai. Here's to many more adventures in their life together!

We also took polaroids throughout the day, and there were quite a few that turned out amazingly well!

Cherie & Max :: 4/9/2022 :: Wedding in Los Angeles

Another postponed wedding couple that finally got to have their day! YAYYYYYY! This was the most wonderful pink wedding of my dreams and every detail was off the charts!  Their venue, Ruby Street in Highland Park,  was a perfect setting to apply all their incredible colorful touches and to have a fun, beautiful day! We started out with Cheri's details and getting ready at the venue. After Cherie had donned her incredible pink and sparkly Lazaro gown and Max was all suited up in his custom pink suit, these two shared their first look!  After some more photos around the venue and meeting up with their wedding party, it was finally time for their sweet and short ceremony. Can we talk about the DIY ribbon arch for a second? These two created it themselves and knocked it out of the park ! Their wonderful ceremony was filled with laughter, personal vows, exchange of rings, a hand fasting ceremony and finally these two were officially married (again! They officially tied the knot last ye

Sasha + Brenden :: 6/22/24 :: Wedding in Fullerton

Image
Our first to two weddings this year and boy oh boy was it a good one (despite the unseasonably warm heat!). Sasha and Brenden tied the knot at the stunning Muckenthalar Mansion , just a few miles from our home! Our day with the couple started with their first look, wedding party and couple's portraits. Before we knew it, it was ceremony time. After one of the quickest (but sweetest!) ceremonies ever, featuring a "first shot" of tequila, these two were officially official! After family photos and some detail shots it was time to party. During the reception their guests enjoyed dinner, speeches, cake cutting, parent dances and creating a custom work of abstract art for the couple to hang in their home! Once the dance floor was opened with a giant group shot, we stole the couple away for some magical golden hour photos at the end of our time with them. A beautiful end for a stunning day!

Maya & Satish :::: Engagement Session at Carbon Canyon Redwoods

Image
Like many couples these days, these two cuties met online and the rest is history! After getting engaged earlier this year, they are planning a dual wedding incorporating traditional and western celebrations which will be so unique and beautiful! For their session they wanted to incorporate their pup Cybil (the shepherd mix) as she has been a huge part of their relationship from the very beginning and two different outfits reflecting their two celebrations. We had such a blast with these three on this dark and moody day at the Carbon Canyon Redwood grove and we are so excited for what lies ahead! Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!
