Traci & Brian :: 3-1-2014 :: Wedding in San Juan Capistrano

Even rain could not stop Traci and Brian's day going off without a hitch and in the end, they were hitched! We started off our day at Traci's sister's gorgeous house in San Juan Capistrano for some detail and getting ready pictures featuring Traci's silly niece and Traci's beautiful dress. We then headed to their venue, the El Adobe Restaurant where Traci and Brian did their first look. Their adorable faces peeking around that door made my day! The rain decided to take a break just as we headed over to the San Juan Capistrano Mission with Traci and Brian and their bridal party (consisting of Traci's sister, her niece and Brian's brother). After exploring this gorgeous setting together, we headed back to the El Adobe for the ceremony. Just as the ceremony was set to begin the rain started to come down again. As Traci joined Brian (indoors, thankfully!) at the altar, a huge burst of thunder rattled the building! After some laughter, these two exchanged vows and rings and were officially wed! After taking some indoor family photos the newlyweds headed back to the reception for their first dance and dinner. After the toasts, the bride and groom played the "Shoe Game" where they exchanged shoes and the DJ asked a series of questions about who does what in their relationship. The bride and groom answered by holding up the shoe of the person they each thought was the best answer to the question asked. It made for some hilarious moments! After some dancing, they cut the cake and once everyone had eaten it the dancing and fun continued :) We had such a wonderful time photographing this beautiful wedding!

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!
