Katy + Tim: Engagement

Today I had an engagement shoot down in Laguna Beach. Katy and Tim are from Connecticut, but are getting married in Redondo Beach next year. These two were so much fun to work with! I was so excited when they booked me because I could tell they would be up for anything, and they are very laid back and easy going. It turns out my hunch was right....because....well just check out the photos below!

You don't see this kind of stuff to often in late November! I didn't even have to ask them, they just showed up prepared to get wet....it was great. Thanks Katy and Tim for hanging out with me today, I had a blast!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope everyone had a great turkey day! I sure did...although now I feel fat and useless! Have an awesome weekend everyone.

Cheers

Herrera Family

Yesterday I did studio shots for some family friends, the Herrera's. They just had a new addition to the family, so they wanted to get some photo's done for xmas. Sam, Chris, Katelyn and Lauren were refreshingly easy to work with. I love photographing kids, but I admit they can be a handful! Luckily Katelyn and Lauren were very cooperative so we got some really nice shots. Check em out!

I think Lauren was a little sleepy

Just the girls

Aren't they such a good looking family?

Big sister, little sister

Katelyn's 'mean' face!

Baby Devin

We finally got around to taking some nice studio shots of my nephew Devin. What a little stud he is turning out to be! He has doubled in weight since he was born so he is a little porker now, but I think it makes him even cuter as a baby haha. We are going to try and take photos of him every month so we can capture the different stages as he grows, it's going to be very exciting!

Anna + Greg: Wedding

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting Anna & Greg's wedding at one of my favorite locations, Monteleone Meadows. This place is just filled with lush greenery and has an amazing pond and waterfall right smack in the middle. I could literally spend hours shooting a couple here and never get bored! To all brides-to-be that have not chosen a venue I would definitely recommend this place! The weather always seems to be perfect here and the staff is amazing. Check out some photos!

We started the day off at Anna's parents house. Her dress was so beautiful!

They had this very cool looking door and I just had to take a few shots of Anna in front of it before we headed out to the ceremony.

They got married in the same chapel that Anna's parent got married in. It was a very unique looking place.....I loved it!

Greg cleans up nicely eh?

A portrait of the happy couple on the dock that extends out over the pond. I love this spot at just the right time.....you can get such perfect light!

The girls......

Who doesn't love polka dots??

Loving the late afternoon sunlight.......

Katie + Mike: Wedding

A couple weeks ago I had the chance to shoot another fabulous wedding with Rob Holley. This was a very unique wedding because it took place over the course of 2 days. The first day they had the ceremony at the American Martyrs Church in Manhattan Beach, then Sunday it was on to Palos Verdes for a beachfront reception. Mike works for ESPN handling logistics for the X-Games, and Katie works for the Home Depot Center, which was very cool because she got us press passes for the Galaxy game that Saturday night! Anyways, here are a few of my favorites from that weekend.

Rob was with Katie, so I got to hang out with Mike and his best man:

A few relaxed portraits after the ceremony:

Then we headed down to the beach to play:

This is the exact spot that Mike proposed!

Instead of the usual DJ, they had a steel drum band and hula dancers!! It was so cool! I think I am going to get a steel drum band at my wedding now ;)

And a few shots from the Galaxy game, which we won by the way. GO TEAM!

Edith + Eddie: Wedding

As promised, here is a sneak peek at the wedding I shot at CSULB Japanese Gardens on Friday. Edith and Eddie were so great to work with and a great time was had by all. It's very late and I am tired so instead of rambling lets get to some photos! ;)

This is one of my favorite shoe shots I have ever done!

...and the beautiful bride Edith, so happy on her wedding day!

Eddie was looking pretty sharp too

Anticipation.......

I absolutely LOVE this moment during their first dance

Relaxed portrait....

Love me some off camera light!
