Yvette & Steve

Today Brandon and I photographed the wedding of Steve and Yvette at Rancho Capistrano followed by the reception at a pub called Durty Nelly's. The colors chosen were black, white, and red which went really well with the December season. Everyone had a great time dancing and their photo slideshow was a big hit.

Vanessa & Eric

On Sunday, Brandon and I went to Chapman University to take Vanessa and Eric's engagement pictures. Eric and Vanessa chose Chapman because it represents a big part of their lives. They are an adorable couple that had me laughing a few times(running into a garden of rose bushes to get a cool pic). (click on the picture for the full view)

Congrats to Victoria & Kevin

On Saturday, Brandon and I had the joy of photographing Victoria and Kevin's wedding. After 10 years of togetherness, they finally decided to get married. So, we met up with the bride and groom at Mason Park in Irvine. The park was huge so we had several areas to take pictures.

After the park we headed down to the University Club where the ceremony and reception was located. During the ceremony it started pouring down rain-it sounded so cool bouncing off of the roof-luckily it was an indoor ceremony.

During the reception Victoria and Kevin wanted to take pictures in the rain (gotta love the spontaneity), but it was extremely cold and we were umbrellaless. Here are some quick pics. By-the-way I want her shoes. (click on the pics for the full view).

Congrats Marlene & Steve

Today's ceremony and reception took place at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. Wow, what a beautiful location. The bride and groom looked happy in love and gorgeously dressed (check out the intricate beading on Marlene's dress). It was great working with Marlene and Steve because they are the nicest couple. Here are a few pictures from their wedding. Check out my website for more pics (click on the pictures for a full view)

Kelly & Derek

Today Brandon and I met up with Kelly and Derek at the Regional Park. I couldn't believe how many different settings we had to choose from, so we just photographed it all. You can really tell that Kelly and Derek were so into taking these pictures they were having a good time. This park was so ideal- I'd love to take pictures here again.

Mariel & Shant

Who would have ever thought it would be warm at the beach today? Originally, we were going to do the engagement session at USC. But, given they were playing Notre Dame, we had to relocate. Mariel and Shant chose Laguna Beach. The weather was beautiful and there was not a bit of wind. Here are some of my favorites from today. They looked great wearing the same colors.

Thanksgiving

Although a day late, just wanted to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving!!!

Ashley & Billy

Today Brandon and I were at the Shoreline Vilage and Rainbow Harbor Park in Long Beach to take engagement pictures of Ashley and Billy. They are such a friendly couple and you could tell they were absolutely in love just by the way they looked at eachother. Here are a few of my favorites. I love how you can see their reflection on the water. (click on the pictures for a full view)

Happy Birthday to me

Today I celebrated my 27th birthday. Brandon and I started off the day super early by openning up gifts and then going out to breakfast (look how nicely he wraps, I didn't want to open them). I absolutely love breakfast; I rarely wake up early enough to eat it which explains why I love it. He said the rest of the day would be a surprise and it was. We then went to Disneyland and met up with our dear neighbor who got us in for free. Today was such a great day to go. There was no crowds followed by no long lines. Afterward, we went over to my parents house for dinner and watched one of my favorite shows, nip/tuck. Wow! Today was so much fun. :)
