Lynn and Vince decided to exchange their vows at the Muckenthaler Mansion in Fullerton. The house is beautiful and now used as a cultural center which suits Lynn and Vince perfectly since they are both creative designers. They chose to have an intimate ceremony with only their closest friends and family present. I really loved this… all of their guests stood in a half circle around them during the ceremony; it was very unique and meaningful. I think the day turned out exactly how they had planned full of fun and celebration. I wish these two all the best! Congratulations Lynn and Vince!

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!

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!

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 Evelyn and Manny’s wedding at Swiss Park in Whittier. Their ceremony was held outside just before sunset. It was gorgeous and very heartfelt. Many of their friends and family got up to share some words during the ceremony… from that a few tears where shed but the good kind. And their reception was quite the party. They had a full mariachi band which played throughout dinner. I love mariachi… they really know how to get the party started. Congratulations Evelyn and Manny!

Last week I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of some old friends of mine. I met these two years ago at my first job in Los Angeles. They weren’t even dating then… just friends… but time went on, everything fell into place, and look at them now… so completely in love. They exchanged vows on the beach at the St. Regis in Dana Point. It was an intimate ceremony with only their family members present. It was such a special day full of love and tears and I feel so honored to have been a part of it. Congratulations Kelly and Eddie!

Nicole and Daniel said their “I do’s” at the Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank. They opted to see each other before the ceremony which I love because we had a ton of time for photos. We had soooo much fun! These two really have a great sense of humor. They had some fake mustaches for their photo booth which we incorporated into their shots together. Too funny! I had such a great time at their wedding. All their friends and family are so nice and thoughtful… even surprising them with a heartfelt song and a homemade video at their reception. Congratulations you guys… I’m so happy for you two!

Last weekend I shot Susan and Johnny’s wedding at Calliote Canyon in Ojai. This place is sooo AMAZING!! It’s a private home nestled deep in the hills with gorgeous views of the mountains. It has a creek running through it with beautiful rocks, cute little paths, and a massive fire pit for entertaining. This wedding rocked! Susan and Johnny totally nailed their vision of a chill and fun wedding with killer food. And thanks to Paige at Bash Eco Events for making that happen. Definitely check out her site… she’s full of brilliant ideas!

Diane and Arnaldo decided to exchange their vows at the Carmel Mission Inn in Northern California. As I’m sure many of you know, it’s breathtaking up there and an ideal spot to get married. Their ceremony was held outside at the inn with blue skies and cool crisp air surrounding us. It was the perfect setting. Then afterwards we were able to go to the beach nearby for some more fun shots. I had such a great time with these two! They were both literally all smiles all day… they were just so adorable and happy and excited. I wish nothing but the best for these two love birds. Congratulations Diane and Arnaldo!

Last weekend Megan and Mike tied the knot at the Adamson House in Malibu. These two actually met there while attending a mutual friend’s wedding, so it was more than fitting that this is where they exchanged vows. The ceremony was held outside under a billowing tree with amazing weather and all their closest friends and family. It was the perfect setting for a perfect couple. These two are so cute together and so incredibly in love. The way they adore each other can melt your heart. I’m so happy for them and know that they will have a wonderful life together.
