Whitney + Jaro :: 1/16/2022 :: Wedding in Long Beach

Our first wedding of the year that was supposed to be our last wedding of last year...is finally here! Things got changed around last minute but we are so excited that W+J finally got to have their day!

The theme of the day centered around an aviation, romantic and geometric vibe with touches of blush, burgundy and mauve with exquisite florals. Their venue, The Modern in Long Beach, was a perfect setting to apply all their extra touches. We started out with Whitney's details and getting ready at a nearby hotel. After Whitney had donned her beautiful  gown and Jaro was suited up in he had some Yogurtland delivered to the hotel just before the first look-- a special and sentimental treat! We did their first look, wedding party and some portraits right next to The Modern at OCR Avaition's hangar and it was such a delight to take photos in such a unique place! After some more photos at the venue,  their sweet ceremony followed and was filled with laughter, vows exchange of rings, and finally these two were officially married! After some more family portraits and golden hour portraits these two made their grand entrance into the reception, for their first dance and dinner! Parent Dances, the Money Dance and the cake cutting followed and then in their thank you speech, Jaro did a magic trick with his ring! So fun! Near the end of our coverage time, we stole the newlyweds away from the party for a romantic end of the night shot at the venue's terrace.  It was such a marveous day for such a wonderful couple, and we wish them many years of joy and happiness!

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!
