Los Angeles Wedding Photographer | Chelsea Elizabeth Photography | Westlake Village, Santa Barbara

I had the best time photographing Belinda’s Birthday party! It was a black and white themed party thrown in an amazing backyard. I want that house :) Belinda was surrounded by fabulous family & friends. It was great to see Cat & Adi again too:)

Happy Birthday Belinda!

I took a Sunday off! It was fabulous. Steve & I headed down to Long Beach to watch the start of the Transpac Yacht Race. The race leaves out of Long Beach and ends in Honolulu, Hawaii. What a race! We headed out on Colt 45. It was nice to see the boat that Steve & Matt usually race on. We were lucky enough to sail out to the start of the line. The boats were amazing! Of course I took my telephoto lens, no we weren’t really that close ;)

Thanks Don & BJ for taking us out :) We had a great time!!!

Joanne and Ron had the cutest back yard wedding in Northridge. The ceremony was so emotional it just warmed my heart. It really was perfect! Joanne was just a beautiful bride – inside & out :) Ron’s a great guy! I had a great time photographing their wedding!

The kids were adorable!!!!

Father of the bride :)

The vows!

While in Atlantic City I had an awesome opportunity to play model for two fabulous photographers. We went out on the boardwalk and had some good times! We had so much fun! I learned a lot from being on the other end of the camera for once. I really miss these guys ;)

Playing with my hair as usual!!!!

Tuesday night Mark and Jason planned a trash the dress session for the entire group. They gathered 11 brides/grooms for us to photograph. Our group has a news crew with us for the entire shoot covering the event. It was awesome! Our bride was up for anything and tons of fun. She was so beautiful! The event was on the news here and in the newspaper the next morning. I can’t wait to see all the great art that came out of the event.

Go visit the “Trash the Dress” site! It’s not about trashing the dress just to trash it. We love to create beautiful images in a fun environment and just aren’t afraid to get a little dirty in the process.

After hitting the beach bar on the boardwalk in Atlantic City we starting playing with the camera. We had so much fun it took us 2 hours to walk 3 blocks down the boardwalk. It was hilarous! We got some good shots. It was great to brainstorm and throw ideas off of each other. Crazy times :) I love these girls! I wish they lived closer to me.

I arrived in Atlantic City! Everyone was staying at the Trump Taj Mahal. I have to thank the Donald cause the rooms are fat! The beds are so comfortable…. although I’ve only seen them for a few hours ;) hehehhe

When I first got there everyone met up at the Hard Rock cafe for dinner. It was great to meet everyone. We all headed over to the board walk to see Melissa & Leslie get launched in the rocket.

Here they go!!!

JC and I thought it looked like so much fun that we had to join in! I figured since I even considered the idea I should go for it before my senses get the better of me!

Here is my kick ass roommate Geri. We hit it off!

Mark Eric and Jason Domingues taking a self portrait! They are awesome! Mark Eric owns Trashthedress.com. Jason runs the Trash the Dress blog with Mark. I love it! We have a session planned for Tuesday night. I can’t wait to blog & post pics. This is going to be a great week!

I love to travel. Give me a rental car and my camera and I’m a happy camper! I love discovering new places. I flew into Philadelphia and got a rental car to head to New Jersey. I’m off to Atlantic City for a photography seminar. I’m having a fabulous time. More blogging to come!

7/7/7….. the wedding date that everyone looked forward to all year! I spent 7/7/7 shooting for Jen Rau. I was so excited that we were shooting at a local vineyard, Bella Victorian. The site is just beautiful, inside the house and out. I can’t wait till the vineyard starts producing wine. The ceremony was amazingly beautiful. I’m so in love with those pink parasols. So cute!!!! The bride and groom were stunning. The reception was held at Las Posas Country Club.
