Kelly & Joshua :: 2-6-2015 :: Wedding in Laguna Beach

The amount of cuteness from Kelly and Joshua was just overwhelmingly good :) This day was so unconventional in so many ways! The entire bridal party started off their day getting ready together in a single suite at the Pacific Edge Hotel in Laguna Beach. It was a little strange to see the bride and groom both getting ready in the same space, but it made it so fun! However, after make-up and hair were done, the groom was no longer allowed to see the bride until their first look ;) While Kelly was getting laced into her dress we were treated to a sea lion making his way up onto the beach to say hi! It was such a cute moment! These two decided to keep things practical and comfy by having everyone in their wedding wear Converse shoes with the bride wearing some gorgeous teal Converse and the groom and groomsmen wearing black on black Converse. After everyone was dressed, Kelly and Josh stole away for a few moments for them to do a first look. These two were so sweet and tender once the saw each other in their wedding best and even did a few jumps for joy at one point! After the first look we travelled over to a woodsy area of Laguna Canyon for some bridal party and bride and groom portraits. After photos were completed we had some time to tour and set up at their beautiful and unique venue, Tivoli Terrace in Laguna Beach. After the sun set, these two exchanged vows and rings and were finally husband and wife! After family portraits, the bridal party and newlyweds joined the party and their beautiful tented reception filled with twinkle lights and wonderful purple uplighting. Their reception was full of joyful toasts, emotional first dances and sweet cake cutting. We loved every moment of this wedding and it was such a delight to not only photograph this beautiful day but we also designed Kelly and Joshua's invitation suite.

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!

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...

Yasmin & Kaitlyn :::: Newlywed Session in Joshua Tree

Image
Back in November, I put out a model call in the SBSN Facebook group offering free sessions for LGBTQ+ couples to add more beautiful couples to our portfolio that reflect our beliefs as LGBTQ+ allies! Yasmin was one of the first to respond and we planned this amazing golden hour session in Joshua Tree with her and her beautiful wife Kaitlyn! These two were such troopers in the wind and the cold and we got some amazing photos in this amazing place. The love and energy between them is electric and that even came through with a few static shocks that Yasmin gave Kaitlyn when I gave them a cheek kiss prompt! So cute! We can't wait to see more of their adventures and follow their family grow throughout the years. Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!
