“more than words” You won’t find a dull moment with these two and it was especially true on their wedding day. Vanessa & Tony have been waiting their whole lives for this day and with tears of happiness, sweet surprises and inventive dance routines, their wedding on April 26, 2008 was anything short of spectacular. I knew it wouldn’t be any other way. ** Vanessa & Tony – I feel so fortunate to have met…read more
“real love” It was as if it was scripted from a romantic movie – a young couple madly in love strolling the park on gorgeous Sunday afternoon with gorgeous sunlight highlighting their gorgeous faces. All I could do was take in the beauty and capture what seemed to be too perfect to be real. But the reality is, Jessica & Brian’s love is absolutely genuine and real. They have an undeniably chemistry and spark that…read more
“written in the stars” I’ve fallen a bit behind on my posts, so bare with me!!! Remember when it was really, really HOT a few Saturdays ago??? Well, not even the heat could stop me from having such a great time shooting Jenn’s wedding shower. I just love wedding showers – there is just so much anticipation in the air and everything is so dainty and girly =). Jenn was surrounded by her wonderful family…read more
“no one” It was a lil’ early on a Sunday morning but Nina, Eric & I didn’t mind at all – we had such a great time shooting their engagement session in Long Beach, CA. Nina & Eric are so genuinely nice and easy to talk to. They have such sweet souls and their love could not be more evident than it was on this early April morning. They nailed every pose I asked them…read more
“happy together” I was so excited for the opportunity to shoot an engagement session for my friend Kimmy and her fiancé Dzi. I was equally excited when they told me they wanted to shoot their engagement session at UCLA. A sense of nostalgia always comes over me as I remember my days strolling down Bruin walk with my oversized backpack and without any sense of responsibility or a care in the world….ahhh…the good ol’ days…read more
“good morning sunshine” There was a slight overcast last Sunday morning at the Marina, but Charisma & Ryan’s fun-loving nature brought plenty of sunshine to our engagement session. We had a great time exploring parts of Marina Del Rey and Culver City that sadly I never ventured to living in Los Angeles for the past 10 years. Charisma & Ryan share such a sweet tenderness between the them. Ryan was always by Charisma’s side –…read more
“when i see you smile” Before the madness officially began, I joined Ann & Chris in Long Beach, CA for a wonderful e-session. Ann & Chris first met in Long Beach so it was only fitting that we shot their engagement session at two great locations in the LBC: Cal State Long Beach Japanese Gardens and The Pike at Rainbow Harbor. Ann & Chris are such a fun and energetic couple. Not a moment went…read more
“fields of gold” I was ecstatic to shoot a second engagement session for Wendy & Wes this past weekend, not only because they are one of my favorite (and definitely tallest!) couples, but also because we got to shoot at the legendary Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. I’m not really a baseball fan – more of a basketball (go Lakers!) and football fan (my poor Patriots) myself, but I do enjoy going to the games,…read more
“how sweet it is to be loved by you” The whole week (and most of 2008) had been a lil’ dreary in Southern California, but the weather was absolutely gorgeous for Debbie & Drew’s engagement shoot last Sunday. Laguna Beach was packed with volleyball players, strollers, adorable puppies and anyone who had been missing the California sun these past few months. Debbie & Drew came running from the crowd – Debbie with her glamorous purple…read more
“kiss kiss” Let me start off by saying Vanessa & Anthony are two of the best models I’ve ever had! They are so comfortable in front of the camera and with each other. Not a moment went by during the shoot that they were not kissing, hugging or just being plain silly! =) Even the historic Union Station and the vibrant Olvera Street paled in comparison to their playful spirits and dynamic love. Witnessing their…read more
