I had the pleasure of photographing Nahoko & Yoshiya’s wedding in March.  I just got done designing their album and I’d love to share some of my favorite spreads with you.  They were married that the beautiful La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes Estates.  Enjoy!

I desgined this super cute thank you card for Karyn’s baby shower.  We used the maternity pictures that I took of her and her 3D  ultrasound image.  We printed it out on thick pearl card stock. They came out great!  I had to share :)

The wedding album has been designed! Exciting stuff!  Kim and Bill’s wedding album has been designed as a 10×8 horizontal thick coffee table album. This album will match their engagement album perfectly!  They had the most beautiful wedding and I hope this album does it justice.  It was so held at Firestone Crossroads Estate in Los Olivos.  I love photographing weddings in the Santa Ynez wine country.  The is nothing like a vineyard wedding with the warm Santa Ynez sun.

After designing Kim and Bill’s wedding album I couldn’t believe that I had never blogged their engagement album.  Better late then never!  Here it is in all it’s glory.  Kim and Bill had an amazing engagement session starting at Union Station in Los Angeles.  I love Union Station, it’s such a step back in time.  We got some fun stuff in the station.  Bill is a USC alumni so going to campus was just a must. I love what we got there. The lighting was amazing and the architecture is beautiful.  We designed this engagement album as a sign-in book.  All their guests signed it as they entered the wedding!

This wedding album is designed as a 12×9 thick coffee table album.  I designed this one in particular to match their engagement album.  The two go perfectly together!  Alisa and Kelly got married at the Canary Hotel in Santa Barbara.  The groomsmen did some portraits at the Santa Barbara Mission and the girls went to the Santa Barbara Court House, Sunken Gardens.  The ceremony was on the rooftop of the Canary hotel and the view was amazing!  You could see all of downtown Santa Barbara and the artistic spanish tile roofs.  It was breathtaking!  We headed back over to the Sunken Gardens for family, bridal party and Alisa and Kelly’s portraits.  The Santa Barbara Court House is one of my favorite places to photograph.

I’m so excited about the sample engagement album that I’m about to order.  This engagement album is designed to be a sign-in book for the wedding. As you can see this album has tons of white space for fun and loving notes from all of your guests.  The album is going to be printed up as a coffee table album with really thick fine art matte paper.  The colors just pop out on this paper and the black and whites look so rich and warm.  I’m so in love with these albums.  And the best thing is you have a book to  remember your engagement pictures with lots of nice words from your family and friends.  This album will sit on your coffee table for years to come.

Check out the matching wedding album!
