Julia and Johnny Wedding, Prather, CA

On the outside Julia is all girl but the truth is she is a total tomboy at heart. And Johnny is the type of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. It's Julia who had to convince Johnny that he didn't need to buy a tent heater for camping, and she who has to bait their fishing poles...and it's Johnny who has to drag Julia shopping. Together they are amazing; a total blast to be around and up for absolutely anything which is a photographer's dream! I knew I wouldn't have to think twice about asking them to sit on some dusty rocks or trek up some hills which covered her parents beautiful property where they got married. The ceremony started a bit late so we ran out of sun and time to do all my crazy ideas I knew would suit their fun personalities ( I had been eyeing the trampoline and bright blue wheel-barrel!) but on the flip side we got to take some cool night shots.



I LOVE netted veils!!!







I love this shot of the bridemaids- Johnny's limo was coming down the hill and all the girls jumped in to cover up Julia.

Sarah and Andrew Wedding, Laguna Beach

Sarah and Andrew's wedding was extra special to me because I have been friends with Sarah since she and Andrew were just dating. It was so exciting to hear about her getting engaged and watch her get married! Sarah and Andrew got married at the Pacific Edge in Laguna Beach and Maria Lindsay did a fabulous job pulling everything together beautifully. My favorite touches to this wedding were Sarah's linen wedding dress (how fitting for a beach wedding!), her blue L.A.M.B. shoes, blue toenail polish, and doves in her ceremony! She also featured a late night snack of mini milkshakes and sliders which were quite fabulous. Her wedding was such a blast to be a part of!

P.S. I decided to try something new for the first look and have the groom approach the bride. Let me just say, way more touching and emotional. Loved it!

Kayli and Darren Wedding

Hmmm...so I decided something at Kayli and Darren's wedding. I really like shooting my friends weddings. I think there could still be a couple weddings a year in my future...we'll see. All speculation aside, Kayli and Darren's wedding at Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center was nothing short of amazing!! To top it all off, I got to work with some of my favorite people ever. Melody did an insane job making a dessert bar, Jesi absolutely blew me away with her coordination and creativity, Carlie did gorgeous hair and makeup, and an extra special thanks to Gabriel who was kind enough to shoot with me since Aaron was doing double duty as photographer and groomsman. Because of Gabriel, Aaron was able to take off the photographer hat as soon as the wedding started. Also thanks to the amazing DJ Johny E, photocabina, and officiant Isaac Marks!
I am about to blog way way too many pictures but this doesn't even scratch the surface of my favorites. Check back tomorrow to see a slideshow of this wedding where you can see pics of the dessert bar, the first look, and more. I am sure you will laugh and cry.













I have a new love affair: HOLGA! I couldn't think of a better time to christen it than this vintage inspired wedding!
