Lilian & Alex :::: Engagement Session at Santiago Oaks Regional Park

Lilian and Alex are such a unique couple with such a special story :) When they first met over 5 years ago, they didn't much care for one another. Lilian's shy personality was overshadowed by Alex's strong aversion to her Christian faith. But slowly over many conversations about truth, faith and love they began to respect one another and Alex's initial annoyance of Lilian's passion for her faith slowly turned into respect and admiration and then her faith became his faith! So special! :) They continued to become closer and closer friends, and well, the rest is history! We met at one of my favorite parks, Santiago Oaks in Orange for a rustic theme to their engagement session to echo the feel of their quickly approaching wedding! Another unique part of Lilian and Alex's engagement is that there is no engagement ring! These two decided that Lilian's need for a car was more important than an engagement ring (makes total sense!). Plus, these two had already given each other promise rings a few years back so that continues to be their outward symbol of their commitment until they upgrade to wedding rings. In two weeks we will be capturing these two as they walk down the isle and finally become Mr. and Mrs. :)

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!
