Last weekend I had the great pleasure of photographing Ashley and Michael at Larner Vineyard in Solvang. They have an affinity for wine so this was the perfect place for them to exchange vows. It was such a beautiful day at this amazing location. And these two really made my job easy. They are so cute together and relaxed in front of the camera. I could have shot them all day! I’m so happy for these two and their spectacular wedding. They planned every little detail together and I’m so glad it came together as successful as it did. Congratulations Ashley and Michael!

A little over a year ago I photographed Lissette and Ted’s wedding. When they told me they were expecting a baby girl soon I was so excited and honored that they asked me to document this special time for them. Lissette actually gave birth to little Rose shortly after this session so we got these pics just in the nick of time. I’m so happy for them and I can’t wait to meet Rose sometime soon. Congratulations Lissette and Ted!

I recently got to photograph Miss Rylie again. And I have to say every time I see her I swear she gets cuter and cuter and girlier if you can believe it. This little girl loves the color pink, her mom’s makeup, clothes, and bows in her hair. She’s absolutely adorable and a joy to be around.

I think Keren and Erik had one of the most unique weddings I’ve ever photographed. They live in a gorgeous high rise condo in downtown Los Angeles and so they decided to hold their ceremony in their living room. Did I mention that their condo is tens of stories up and has an incredible view of the greater Los Angeles area? Amazing! It was a small guest list with only their closest friends and family. Everyone snuggled up on the couch or gathered around it to watch them exchange their vows. It was so lovely and intimate. I just love that the first kiss they shared as husband and wife was in the home that they also share together. How special is that!

I met up with Candise and Paul recently at Angels Flight in Downtown Los Angeles. This place is so cool! After being shut down for nearly three decades it has reopened and fares to ride are just a quarter. If you haven’t checked it out yet you should… plus there’s a really nice view of downtown up there as well. Check out some of the favorites we got that day… Candise and Paul are just too cute!

On Valentine’s day I photographed Julia and Brad’s wedding at the Turnip Rose. It was such a gorgeous wedding and so lovely to be have been held on Valentine’s day. These two are so adorable together and I can’t think of anything more fitting. Julia was gorgeous in her dress and was all smiles all day… well with a few tears too. But they were happy tears and I was honored to have been part of such a beautiful and emotional day. It truly was special. Congratulations Julia and Brad!

Brad wrote Julia a note before the wedding… so sweet!

Seeing each other for the first time.

Some details from the day… gorgeous!

Last weekend I photographed the Sarner family in Griffith Park at the Trails Cafe. This place is so cute and the perfect spot for a fall photo shoot. And it doesn’t hurt that I had a fun loving and adventurous family as my subject. I think little Rose has the cutest smile and she is quite the director. Many of the shots were her idea. I think her “surprise” face is my favorite. Later in the shoot she hiked up the hill and got a little splinter in her finger but she was quite the trooper while her dad removed it. A total pro!

Last weekend I photographed the Staat family. I see them once a year and every year I’m amazed at how much Peyton has grown. She really is turning into quite the young lady. And little Jake is such the explorer. I really got my exercise with him. He loves to walk and walk and walk. I’m sure he would walk clear across the neighborhood if his mom would let him. He’s just so adorable! And him and Peyton get along so well… she’s a great big sister!

I had the pleasure of photographing the Daly family again for the holidays. I always enjoy seeing them. They’re always so happy and such a loving family. Felix is getting cuter and cuter if that’s even possible and Beatrice is such a sweet big sister. She really likes to kiss him and she’s so gentle. It really is adorable!

I just shot Carolina and Robert’s engagement photos in Griffith Park. We had a great time hiking through the hills and finding fun little spots to shoot. And these two are just so adorable and cute together. They really made my job easy. They’re getting married next year in Chile… totally awesome! Congratulations you guys! Have fun at your destination wedding.
