Row Boat Lake Engagement Session : Lee and Matt

      

Lee and Matt wanted to do something a little different for their session. So they asked us if we would do an engagement session on a lake with some row boats. And, of course, we were excited! It’s always fun to do something a little bit different from the norm and we all had a blast. It took some time getting used to the boats but it was pretty cool out there. Tey came along (with baby Avery) to help out with the boats and thank goodness! Those suckers can be hard to take around. We also got some time taking some photos on land which was great to mix it up a bit. In the end, we had an awesome time with our awesome new clients! Thanks Lee and Matt for the great day! And for the great experience of doing something new and different. Can’t wait until your big day next year!

Here are just a few highlights from a super fun session:

Hummingbird Nest Ranch Indian Wedding : Asha and Ravi

      

Day Two of Asha and Ravi’s wedding celebration was one to remember! It was a gorgeous day at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, CA (just north of Los Angeles). What a breathtaking venue! It’s one of those places in which I wish we would’ve had our wedding. A stunner of a location. Speaking of stunning, Asha was simply gorgeous. She looked so beautiful! She had on the most gorgeous sari and jewelry and Ravi was also dapper as can be. Everything seemed to work perfectly. The Baraat (groom’s procession) was so much fun and they had this beautiful white horse. The ceremony was full of joy and tears! The evening reception was such a treat having some super heart felt speeches to crazy fun dancing! I was in there dancing it up and was so happy to be able to document everyone having the time of their life! I want to thank my super talented friend, Ed Atrero for coming to shoot with me. It was a blast! We also couldn’t have done it without our amazing team of vendors! Thanks so much for making it all happen! Here are some highlights from this epic day:

Indian Wedding Coorg Ceremony : Asha and Ravi

      

This was the first day of Asha and Ravi’s beautiful Indian wedding celebration. This memorable “Coorg” ceremony celebrated the traditions that take place during weddings in the Coorg region of India. It was such a unique event that many of the guests had never participated in before. So it was my honor to capture this special day for Asha, Ravi and both of their families. It was so much fun capturing all the joy from all in attendance. Thanks so much to Brandon Wong for helping me on this awesome day! Here are some highlights:

Montage Laguna Beach Wedding : Saori and Tom

      

It’s always a treat when you go to a beautiful location with a lovely couple on a gorgeous day. You could say that it’s the ultimate triple combo of Southern Californa weddings. Saori and Tom came all the way from Japan to get married at the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach. They had a lovely ceremony at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Laguna Beach and had a wonderful evening reception at the Montage. The catering staff did an amazing job of creating a custom cuisine for their close friends and family. Amazing looking sushi, pastas and scrumptious looking desserts! Here are some highlights from their magnificent wedding:
