Pasadena Portrait | Maggie + Greg
Maggie and Greg were married a year ago and Maggie wanted a Anniversary portrait. I think this is such a good idea! I love any excuse to put your wedding dress on again. Maggie wanted to head to downtown Pasadena and start with this Pink Wall. Much to our surprise we found this awesome lime green wall too. I was in heaven with that lime green wall! It went so well with Maggie’s pink sash! After downtown pasadena we traveled over to Pasadena City Hall for some more portraits. One of my favorite spots in Pasadena is this old brick wall with moss growing on it. I’m so glad Maggie got her fabulous Anniversary portraits!

Pasadena Engagement | Prima + Jack
Prima and Jack met me at Pasadena City Hall last week for their engagement session. I love that they brought a variety of props. Prima came with a pink ballon & an umbrella. I’m so in love with umbrella’s for portraits! My favorite image is the one of Prima and Jack in front of the purple wall. I just love how much fun they were having during the session!

Santa Barbara Engagement | Christine + Chris
Christine and Chris really wanted an engagement session on the railroad tracks so for this session we headed up to Santa Barbara. I just love the Santa Barbara train station. It’s so beautiful. It was really windy but we still got some amazing shots on the tracks! There is something just so special about the light in Santa Barbara. We had the best time playing around in the station and exploring State Street. I’m so in love with the red wall that we found!!! I think that was a special find! I’m really looking forward to their wedding later this year at St. Maximillian Church & Malibou Lake. It’s going to be amazing!
Kaoru + Patrick
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!
Cafe Pinot + Maguire Gardens Wedding
I had the pleasure of photographing an amazing wedding for Jen Rau Saturday. The boys started at The Standard in LA. I love it. It’s so hip and modern. I need to come down there sometime just to hang out on the roof top bar. We did some getting ready shots and then headed down to Cafe Pinot. The ceremony was held in Maguire Gardens next door. It was another great event :)
Cafe Pinot + Maguire Gardens
On Sunday Jen had a wedding at one of my favorite locations, Cafe Pinot, so of course I had to tag along. I love the fabulous architecture and the downtown vibe that you get at Cafe Pinot. It almost feels like you just got off the subway in NYC and are at the new hot spot in town. We did some great getting ready shots at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. I feel in love with the first floor lobby and hallway. Fabulous ceiling! Tons of great places to take pictures. I took the groomsmen while Jen had fun with the bridesmaids.
The ceremony was held in Maguire Gardens right next to Pinot and below the LA library.
Aren’t these the cutest flower girls? They were really hamming it up!
The highlight of the night was when the USC Trojan marching band made a surprise appearance at the reception. The bridal party and a lot of the guests just went crazy! Lots of USC alumni in the crowd. Tons of school spirit! Tons of fun :)
Nathan’s Senior Pictures
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 ;)
Kayla and Shayna
I headed back down to Santa Monica for Kayla and Shayna’s portraits. I’m just so in love with the colored walls on main street and I think they are just perfect for Senior portraits. The colors just matched perfectly with Kayla and Shayna’s bubbly personalities! It was really fun doing a session with sisters. We were hoping for some nice morning sun but instead we got some clouds. It ended up being some really nice soft light. I hope they had as much fun as I did ;)
