Ashley and Tom are such sweeties! Although they live in Arizona, they love the beach and wanted to have an engagement session in Southern California! They met 5 years ago while working together and although it was a rough road to find each other we can tell from seeing them together that they are meant to be :) It was a cloudy but warm day in Laguna Beach but these two loved snuggling together and were full of smiles and kisses. We are so excited for them as they are prepare to elope in Hawaii in January! Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!

Denise and Austin's day was so them: stylish, relaxed and just plain fun! Denise  started off their day getting ready at the Los Angeles Athletic Club .  After some detail shots and everyone was dressed, we all walked  across the street to the ground floor of the Oviatt building where Denise and Austin shared their first look and some portraits with their bridal party around the entrance to the Cicada Club . Next we took the elevator up to the Oviatt Penthouse for some more photos around its amazing art deco interiors and  exteriors.  For their ceremony t hese two exchanged personalized vows and rings, and then were finally husband and wife! Portraits complete, the bride and groom joined their cocktail hour and relaxed while we captured detail shots of their reception decor. Their reception was full of joyful, hilarious toasts, fun first dances and sweet cake cutting. We loved every moment of this wedding and it was such a delight to be a part of their day from beginning to end! C
