Please enjoy Joanne & Daniels amazing Los Angeles Wedding!

This was a super fun engagement session!  Matt is Steve’s best friend .. and he’s been dating Candice as I’ve been married to Steve :)  I’m so excited that these two are tying the knot!  Since Matt & Steve are long time sailing buddies I think this session was perfect. I’m so glad that we got some sailboats in the background!

Can’t wait for the wedding in Lake Tahoe!

I’ve been looking forward to Rebecca and Josh’s engagement session for the longest time :)  We were on the search for some mustard fields and I found these in the perfect location.  I love that Rebecca and Josh got such amazing light for their session.  They got engaged at Wilson Creek, my favorite all time vineyard!  So of course Rebecca brought some Almond champagne as a prop.  I hope to see some of that at the reception.. hint hint ;)  They met with some happy face stickers so we had some of those too!  Such a good time! Can’t wait for the wedding in September!!!  This couple brings a smile to my face!  Thanks for the yummy Yolanda’s!

I love, love this picture. Love the sun and I think Rebecca and Josh look stunning!!!

I wish I looked as pretty as Rebecca in this picture… but let’s face it… sooooo not about me ;)

Barbara & Jason’s beautiful destination wedding was featured on Destination I Do.  I love destination weddings and Puerto Rico is a beautiful island to get married on.  The wedding was held at the San Juan Ritz Carlton on the beach.  I loved taking the couple out for some sunset portraits after the wedding… we found a hammock that was so perfect!  I think the first image sums up the feel of the wedding perfectly.  I can’t wait to go back to Puerto Rico!!!  If you need help planning your Destination Wedding check out Destination I Do!  Click here for complete blog post.

It was great shooting the LeClair family again!  Shane is getting so big! I can’t believe how much he looks like his mama! Those curls are to dye for!  Jansen is getting so big!  Enjoy :)

Since Vakhara’s colors are yellow I just had to take her to the mustard fields. These plants must be 12 feet tall and I just love to get in the thick of it!  This was such a fun sunrise session.  Thanks for getting up so early! You guys were good sports!

When Vakhara told me we’d be shooting in a tatoo parlor, this isn’t the theme I had pictured in my mind. When I arrived at the The Honorable Society, I was so inspired by the vintage decor. This place is amazing!!!!  Of course I was also totally inspired to do a couple’s boudoir session. These two are smokin hot! I love Vakhara’s pin up outfit and fishnet stockings.  I love that they both have tatoos in tribute to each other.  I could have photographed in that room all day!

Vakhara picked out some great locations for her engagement session!  I think these locations are perfect for a LA engagement.  I can’t wait to shoot their wedding at Shade next next month!

Dana looks sooo amazing for expecting twins!  We had a fun time capturing this amazing time in her pregnancy.  I love the vintage feel and how comfortable she is in her own skin.  Congratulations!!!!
