Engagement Shoot at the Park, Orange County

I know I always say this, but I LOVE this couple! Congrats to Matthew and Christine on your engagement and upcoming December wedding, I know it is going to be awesome! We had a great time doing this photo shoot of them in a secluded rustic park in Fullerton, California. This is a simple "mini" engagement shoot that I offer to my couples at half price every couple of months. I shoot in one location and do back to back photo shoots and I happen to love shooting at this park. We had a great sushi dinner afterward and got to know one another, we had a great time doing their day of timeline. I can't wait for December, they have such great taste I know it is going to be amazing. Happy Planning!

New Baby Photoshoot Orange County

As I have said in previous blogs, I do not specialize in baby photography, but most of my couples come back to me a year or two after being married for pregnancy and new baby shoots! I try my best to showcase the reality. I don't use a lot of props or backdrops, I just keep it simple. I do think simple will last the test of time, black will never go out of style and neither will your baby! :)

I love this couple, they are so cool! Their wedding was over 4 years ago at Tustin Ranch Country Club in Southern California and they had no plans on having children. A year ago, the doctor told them that this was their last chance if they wanted to have a baby. After they thought about it, they decided to go for it. They are ecstatic on the birth of their new baby boy and they absolutely love his precious first pictures!

I take a portable studio to my clients home so everyone is comfy! Clients love this! They do not have to leave the house which is a huge ordeal especially for parents of their first baby. I set up a backdrop and lighting and we take our time, this is especially important for parents with many children or twins, where leaving the house the first or second week to go to a studio would sound like climbing Mt. Everest! Enjoy these 6 day old baby pics!

Downtown LA Wedding

I am doing this wedding in a 2 Part Blog because the venues were simply fantastic! There are too many images I want to show so I will start with the first half of the wedding of Valorie and Kenneth recently wed in Downtown Los Angeles, and their reception followed in Beverly Hills. We started their "Getting Ready" pictures at the Fabulous JW Marriot LIVE right in the heart of Downtown LA. Their wedding happened to be the morning of the LA Marathon which was really cool walking to the hotel as the racers were running right by the hotel. The lobby of this hotel was perfect for the couples first glance. They wanted to see each other before the wedding so that they could get plenty of great romantics, and to allow the timeline to run a little smoother. It makes for a great wedding day when the couple see's each other ahead of time for more than one reason. Below you can also see that the bride was still full of tears while walking down the isle and the moment is not taken away from and still incredibly meaningful. This cute couple decided to not have a bridal party, which I have blogged about before, I simply LOVE it! It just seems like the day is more about the couple when there is no bridal party and is so much simpler and enjoyable for the couple. Enjoy this LA wedding and watch for part 2 of this blog which will showcase more romantics, details, and their gorgeous wedding reception at Lawry's in Beverly Hills. Joanna Chong with www.jsoiree-events.com did a fabulous job coordinating this wedding and she was fun and very easy and flexible to work with, she really took care of my assistant and I. Jay with the DJ Company will also be featured in the next blog!


I LOVE this lovely note from Valorie the bride below:

No words can truly express my excitement!!!

Romantics at the Hotel before the Ceremony

We quickly ran to snap a few city shots as the lino arrived before heading to the Ceremony!

It NEVER rains in LA! So Cool for once, and it is Good Luck!

 The First Congregational Church of Los Angeles in an AMAZING church!

 Walking down the isle is such an amazing experience in life. I LOVE her tears here even though she had already seen her groom, it is still such a special moment!
