Scott + Stephanie :: A Very Merry Wedding

Scott + Stephanie :: A Very Merry Wedding


One week before Christmas, Scott and Stephanie tied the knot. Carols, candle light and the smell of pine filled the air. It was a perfect Christmas wedding. They shared their "First Look" in the bright December sun - I just love living in Southern California when we have bright blue skys all year round.

Enjoy!

Casey + Laura :: Right as Rain Wedding

Casey + Laura :: Right as Rain Wedding


Casey and Laura had a BEAUTIFUL rain themed wedding at Seven Degrees in Laguna Beach. They had their "First Look" up on the hill behind the venue with beautiful clouds and right on cue the rain started right at the beginning of the ceremony.

Sorry for the short post but I really wanted to get these images up even thought Im feeling quite under the weather - pun intended. :)

Be inspired. Enjoy.

Jimmy + Krystal :: A Hollywood Love Story

Jimmy + Krystal :: A Hollywood Love Story


I was so excited when Jimmy & Krystal wanted to do their Engagement Session in North Hollywood right around the corner from where they live. I like to encourage couples to choose a spot that is meaningful to them for them and this turned out great. We walked just around the block and found lots of great fall trees, a colorful sculpture and a great old fashion movie theater. Jimmy and Krystal are an adorable couple and so photogenic it was a blast. I was so giddy when Krystal brought her dog Mouse down for a few shots. I cant wait for their wedding this summer.

Jordan & Tracy :: A Bright Engagement

Jordan & Tracy :: A Bright Engagement


When Tracy called me and said she wanted to do their Engagement Photos down at the Balbo Fun Zone and Pier I got so excited. I love the idea of all the bright colors and surprised them with a big bouquet of balloons to add to the festive scene. Jordan and Tracy have such a sweet relationship, I look forward to their beach wedding in Huntington next Summer.

Robert + Juliann :: Laguna Cliffs Marriott Wedding


The Laguna Cliffs Marriott was the perfect setting for Robert & Juliann's summer wedding. Their bright colors and high energy made for a very fun and exciting day.

The ceremony took place on the patio overlooking the Dana Point harbor and between the ceremony and reception we got to sneak down to the beach near the Ocean Institute for some more intimate pictures.

Enjoy!!
