I had the pleasure of photographing my kick ass second shooter Kip and his wife Davina. It was about time I did something nice for Kip. He really helps me gets through a wedding. Next time Kips going to take some pictures of me and Steve :) After this session we had a fabulous dinner the King’s Head. We had a really fun wedding there the night before and had to come back and enjoy it on a night off with our spouses. Great night, great photo session!
I met up with Kelli & Jimi and the new addition to their family. I love seeing Brides and Grooms again once they start a family! Isn’t Brayden just the cutest! I loved seeing his personality come out in his expressions. I can’t wait to photograph him again when he’s old enough to walk!
This was them then…
This is them now :)
I met up with my Cousin Laura to take her annual family portrait. This year we met up a really cute park in the Conejo Valley. The bridge was so cute for a family portrait. I love that she chose blue this year! Mix it up from the expected red and green. And of course Sophie was all smiles because Santa loves good kids that give big smiles for the photographer ;) Cheese! I’m so glad Sophie got to go visit Santa after the visit. Hopefully next year I can go with them :)
I bet not every bride takes her own getting ready pictures! We got ready in our room at the Westlake Village Inn. I had tons of fun and time to spare so I got some cute pics of my mom getting her make up done :) Isn’t my mom so beautiful!
Katya did our make up and my hair and she did such a good job!
My own makeup chart. I was up next!
Kate took this one of me and my mom :)
And here’s what we looked like when we were all done!
Desirae and Grealon had their engagement session at the Santa Monica Pier. Desirae’s mom did an amazing job on the flowers for me wedding and I was soooo happy to return the favor. I can’t wait for their wedding at Spanish HIlls in April! This couple was made for the camera!
For my second mini-session last week I met up with Tobi’s family at the Santa Monica Pier. I just feel in love with the green wall underneath the pier and thought it looked like a fun backdrop. We had fun playing the sand, doing a little hide and seek and running from the waves. I love the beach! If only I were a kid again :)
Kaoru and Patrick were my first mini-session of the day on Sunday. I was so excited to shoot on main street in Santa Monica again. I just love all the brick walls! The way these two look at each other is just so sweet! There was lots of laughs in this session. These two have a great sense of humor!! I can tell their wedding is going to be tons of fun! Can’t wait!
Proud parents of the groom!
Erin and Ernie planned a great wedding and reception! The ceremony was held at Church of Our Saviour and the reception was held at the Ye Olde Kings Head in Santa Monica. I just love a good Irish pub! An Irish pub with an Irish band is the icing on the cake! Ernie wore his Army uniform and Erin has the most fabulous pair of Manolo Blahnik’s I’ve ever seen! Even Carry Bradshaw would be jealous!
