robyn & matt | portrait

Meet my new best friends, Robyn and Matt. Hanging out with them makes me forget that I’m working. Pure laughs all around. They married at the very cool Smoke Tree Ranch in Palm Springs, CA. We met there again a few weeks ago to capture some portraits that we were unable to get on their wedding day. It was fun, HOT, relaxed, HOT, beautiful, HOT, sunny and did I say, HOT. Stay tuned for their wedding day photos, as I will be posting them very soon.

adriana & alex | wedding

Lakers fans, Adriana and Alex had a beautiful Catholic wedding at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Downey, CA followed by a fabulous celebration at Rio Hondo Event Center, also located in Downey.

To show their dedication to the team, they decorated in Lakers colors and even gave a basketball lollipop to each guest as a “thank you” gift.

Adriana and Alex had a lovely celebration and danced the night away with their closest friends and family. I had a smile from ear to ear documenting their special day. I’m thankful that they chose me to be a part of it all.

Special Thanks to Michael Fletcher and Sarah Prieto for all of your hard work. It’s always a pleasure to work with you both!

sneak peak from today’s shoot | portrait

Took some images for jewelry designer May Yeung. We incorporated some of her beautiful pieces into these bridal portraits. There are more to come. The photo session ended with a bridal session of Kali and her husband, Mike. We had such a great time…lost my cell phone somewhere along the way. Boohoo for that!

I will be posting more at a later time, so please check back.

sally & wei | wedding

Sally and Wei decided to go against the grain when they selected a very cool and unique venue to be the location for their nuptials. Rancho del Diablo Dormido (Ranch of the Sleeping Devil) might scare some couples away by the mere sound of it. It was named such because the large rock formation overlooking the ranch resembles a bearded devil sleeping. Not to be alarmed, it is said that “When the devil sleeps, the good in all is awakended.” This gorgeous ranch is situated on 20 acres of pure serenity.

Sally and Wei had guests come from near and far to help celebrate their special day. It was such a gorgeous site filled with much love and laughter. I am so thrilled for my new friends, and honored to have been a part of their celebration.

Special thanks to Michael Fletcher (2nd shooter) and Sarah Prieto (assistant). We made a great team, and I am so thankful for all of your hard work. You guys rock!
