When your wonderful calligrapher/designer friend tells you she has a colorful wedding dress, you definitely ask her if she wants to wear it one last time...  We have been trying to schedule a newlywed session with Michelle and John for ages but due to all kinds of scheduling issues (and covid, sigh) it has taken us a while! These two got married for the first time in a micro wedding in 2020, celebrated with all their friends and family at their original venue last year and in February we finally met up with them at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for some last magical shots in their wedding best! We added some colorful flowers by the  incredible  Urban Marigold, and had a wonderful time exploring this beautiful spot together. Congratulations to these two lovely humans!

We had so much fun with this crew! Like most couples, Elizabeth and Johnathan met online and have been inseparable ever since. They got engaged last year after a day out in Long Beach with a sweet and sentimental family ring, redesigned and featuring an incredible emerald. For their session, we met up in Laguna with their pups, Izzy and Howie, and explored all around one of our favorite locations near the Montage Resort. We started at the park above the beach with Izzy and Howie, ventured down to the beach where the clouds kept coming and going giving us a mix of golden hour and cloudy overcast. Then we finished up back up with the pups with a few more shots around the park. Can't wait for their big day with fun tropical vibes in August! Click any image to launch a larger viewing window.
