Shaina & Aaron :::: Engagement Session in Laguna Beach

Shaina and Aaron are such a fun couple! They met in a bar (yup!) in Laguna Beach and since that city holds so many special memories for them, we did their session there :) We met first at Ocean Avenue Brewery to take a couple of photos in front of the bar where they met and then went to Victoria Beach for the majority of their session. This beach features an old, Victorian lighthouse type structure, built in 1926 as a spiral staircase connecting the beach to the residence above. So magical! Shaina and Aaron also wanted to incorporate Aaron's sweet daughter Lily into their session as they are creating a family together, and we think this was such a wonderful idea! We used some fun props for their session: our ampersand, S & A in Shaina and Aaron's wedding colors (which they were also wearing!) and the sweet banner made for their engagement party! It was such a beautiful overcast day in Laguna, so we had such soft, beautiful lighting in the photos :) We are SO excited for the wedding in May!

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!

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

Image
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 mar...

Cynthia & Brandon :: 3-23-13 :: Wedding in Lakewood & Hawaiian Gardens

Image
Cynthia and Brandon 's wedding was such a fun celebration and so uniquely them! We spent the first part of the day with the girls as they laughed, talked and got ready for the day. After everyone was ready to go, I traveled with the girls on the Party Bus to the ceremony and let me tell you, these bridesmaids (and the whole bridal party for that matter!) know how to have a good time! Cynthia and Brandon wrote their own touching vows to one another which they read with great emotion and love. They got married in a sweet little church in Lakewood that was so excited to host their first wedding in 10 years and their reception was hosted at the superb Hawaiian Gardens Community Center. Cynthia is a major DIY bride, and you can see all her beautiful hard work in everything from the invitations to the centerpieces. It was such a beautiful day and such a joy to witness the love of such wonderful people. Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy! ...
