Brittany & Matt :: Anniversary Session :: Year One

Brittany and Matt are such a super sweet couple who we had the pleasure of meeting last year for an engagement session :) We met them at Victoria Beach, Laguna Beach to do their one year anniversary session! They love the beach, but had never done a photo session there :) This beach features an old, Victorian lighthouse type structure, built in 1926 as a spiral staircase access to the beach from the residence above. So magical! They wanted the session to have somewhat of a formal/elegant feel so we incorporated some themed props including a chalkboard sign where I wrote out their names, a live flower bouquet and boutonnière that I made (I'm a wanna-be florist! ;)) and my wonderful paper umbrella. We had such a fun session exploring the beach and getting some more elegant and romantic shots of these two.

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! ...
