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!

Beatrice just celebrated her second birthday! Her party was held in the backyard with homemade pasta and cupcakes on the menu. She had such a great time running and playing with her cousins. Everyone would chase her and once she was caught she’d say, “Again! Again!” Just too cute!! This little one is such a joy. I’m so glad she had a fabulous time at her party.

Last weekend I met Rylie in Griffith Park to take a few photos. She has just turned one year old and I just can’t believe it! She was running through the park, dancing and laughing. And she was quite the fall fashionista in her sweater and boots. Too cute!! It is always a pleasure to see this little smiling princess. Happy Birthday Miss Rylie!

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!

Some photo booth fun!

Last weekend I met Leslie and Dave in Malibu to shoot their engagement session. These two love the outdoors and are very adventurous and athletic… so they decided to have their pics taken on a hiking trail and the beach. Both spots were gorgeous of course! We even saw a few deer while we were walking through the woods… just a little bonus. Leslie and Dave are so much fun and quite the models too. They were really letting loose and having a good time… I like that! We ended the day at the Santa Monica Pier to get a few fun carnival shots. It was super chilly but we made it through… we even rode the ferris wheel. So fun!! I’m so happy for Leslie and Dave… they really are just as cute as can be. Congratulations you guys!

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!
