Dorrie & Chris :: 10-25-2104 :: Wedding in Pasadena

Dorrie and Chris' day was simply lovely! We first met these two over a year ago when we did their engagement session, save the date and finally, their entire invitation suite including table numbers and table thank you cards. Dorrie's vision for her day included classic and elegant (with touches of vintage) which fit in perfectly with their amazing venue, the Maxwell House in Pasadena! Dorrie did so many of the wedding details herself (she is a big DIYer!) and things she couldn't do herself she found on Etsy or utilized the skills of talented friends. Their wedding day started out with us capturing some details and getting ready moments (including Tim photographing my hands putting on Chris' boutonniere!) :) Dorrie and Chris wanted to take all of their portraits before the ceremony, so we picked the front entrance of the Maxwell House for their super cute first look! We took photos all around the Maxwell House property and then met up with the bridal party and family for some more portraits in front of the house. The ceremony took place inside the house with minimal decor, allowing the beauty of the house to serve as their backdrop. Dorrie's wonderful matron of honor Devon, a classically trained opera singer, performed a piece as part of the ceremony. Once the ceremony was over, the newly married couple joined their guests for socializing during cocktail hour and then were announced into the reception as the new Mr and Mrs Kelly! After toasts and an amazing pasta bar dinner it was time to head back inside for dancing and dessert. This group really knew how to party and we got some amazing dancing shots! :) We are so honored to have been a part of this beautiful day and we wish these two many happy years!

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

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!
