La Verne Wedding

Last Saturday I headed out to La Verne for another fabulous wedding. These two tied the knot at the La Verne Church of the Brethren, and their reception was held at South Hills Country Club in West Covina. A big thanks to Yesenia from Exquisite Wedding Planners for doing a fantastic job coordinating the event. I also brought along Jen Cleary to help me shoot....a big thanks to you Jen! Check out a few of my favorites from last weekend.

Check out this awesome shot Jen got of the guys praying before the ceremony.

The brides father was so proud! They have such a great relationship and it really shows when you see them interact.

Jen grabbed this perfect moment during the kiss.

Jen snapped this shot of the guys before the ceremony.

Some relaxed portraits....always my favorite time of the day!

The grand exit was so cool....they had canons shooting out giant confetti!

Thanks for having us there to capture your special day! We had a blast and I hope you had a great time in Hawaii!

Manhattan Beach Engagement Part 2!

Sunday morning I headed back down to Manhattan Beach for an engagement shoot with this smokin' hot couple! I was stoked that I got to hang out at the beach so much this weekend! These two live in Las Vegas but are getting married next month in Corona, CA. Since they had to hit the road back to Vegas, we had to do an early shoot....which actually turned out great because we had some really nice soft light. Check out some of my favs from Sunday....

Thanks for getting up so early guys, I am looking forward to your wedding next month!

Manhattan Beach Engagement

No weddings this weekend, but I stayed busy with 2 engagement shoots and a family portrait session! Saturday evening I headed down to my favorite beach for an engagement shoot with these two. I was so excited once I saw them interact for the first time....and I knew it was going to be a great shoot. Sometimes it's tough to get the couple to be a bit goofy and play around, but these guys had no problems at all! In fact, they started the interaction without any direction from me! Definitely naturals ;)

It started off with a nice intimate moment....

And then the goofiness started!

LOVE IT!

I love the perspective of the pillars under the pier.

100% their idea....they made my job so easy!

The bride-to-be dislikes getting sandy, so thanks for putting up with me during this shoot! We had a great time with you two and are very much looking forward to your wedding!

Long Beach Wedding

These two got married Saturday down in Long Beach....congratulations again you guys! It was a beautiful day for a wedding, and we took full advantage of that. It was a bit on the hot side, but everyone made due and we got some amazing shots. Take a look at a few of my favorites!

A few details to start off with....

Check out the Bride's PINK shoes!

A quick shot of the beautiful Bride before the ceremony. She wasn't nervous at all!

I hope you guys are having a great time on your honeymoon!
