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

Let’s me start out by saying that I’ve known Nathan since he was a baby. Until a few years ago I never would have thought I’d be taking his Senior portraits. I’m feeling a little old and dated right now! After getting over that feeling the session was really fun! We hit some classic Ventura spots and of course ended up down at the beach. Hopefully he has the best Cresto senior portraits to date ;)

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Sarah’s family. I love when families invite me back for another portrait session! We met up again in Malibu for some relaxed playtime with Leo and Kate. I can’t believe how much the kids have grown. My favorites are Kate in the grass and Leo in the Vineyard. I wish I had such a great place to photograph for every session!

Seta and Sako had the most amazing wedding! From the getting ready ceremony to the cake cutting you could tell this was the happiest day of their lives. So much love and happiness coming from both families. They truly are blessed! The ceremony was held at St. Peter Armenian Church in Van Nuys. The inside of the church was beautiful. I love a priest with a sense of humor ;) The reception was held in the Ballroom at the Ararat Home of Los Angeles. We got some amazing portraits in the mini-orchard. The reception was so full of life! DJ DJ Vasken (Heartbeat DJ) did an excellent job. This was a party! Tons of good food and drinks! I could have eaten the entire table. But since the dance floor was the place to be I didn’t sit for very long. Seta and Sako danced the night away! It was also great to see a lot of my old Baxter pals! I hope to get tons more weddings like this one. It was so action packed, emotional and beautiful!

Seta got to ride in style!

This picture was in front of the pomegranate tree… which is a sign of fertility. I’m expecting some babes soon ;)

I think this image speaks for the whole night!

I’ve got big pictures now! Although I can’t go back and change the rest I’m super excited about taking my blog to the next level!

Love the bouquet! And its my colors too!

Having a blast with Jen’s ceremony shoot. These details are amazing! I
can’t wait to see the 2009 catalog. Jen’s getting some amazing stuff.
I’m just getting tons of ideas for my own wedding :)

Shot on my iPhone!

Cori and Jeremy got married at the Wedgewood Banquet Center in Ventura. It was a great wedding :) I loved seeing Jeremy’s expression as Cori walked down the aisle. She literally took his breath away. It was sweet :) We got the last glimmer of light for formal pictures. The light was so beautiful. The dance floor was the place to be. Super festive crowd! I hope Cori & Jeremy have a blast on their Mexican riveria cruise. Sounds like sooo much fun! :)

Cori & Jeremy met at the YMCA so the song was a must!

6 months is such a fun age! When do I get one of those ;) I was so excited to finally meet Nolan after Roanna had been sending me pics from his birth. He’s such a cutie! What a happy baby. He was having fun crawling. He was so such a fast scooter! We played around in the nursery and downstairs. We’ll have do do another session when Nolan can sit up on his own. Then we’ll get some even more cute poses :)

Bethany and Blake had a beautiful romantic wedding at Malibu Lake Mountain Club. They are sooo in love! I love seeing brides and grooms so giddy over each other :) Everyone should be so excited to marry the one that they love. I took the formal pictures at a spot that I don’t normally shoot in and the light was just AMAZING! Malibu Lake has some gorgeous spots to take pictures. I love the alter and cross that Bethany’s family brought it for the ceremony. It was gorgeous! The whole day was special and I wish them the best!
