It’s pretty awesome when we get to photograph multiple weddings within the same family. It’s just an amazing honor for us. Stephanie and Thomas were married at the Glendora Country Club and it was so great to see so many familiar faces. We got to chat with Andrea and Brandon and it was so great to see them again. The night sky was pretty awesome and we love it when we get to sneak out to do some evening shots. I got a few favs from that mini session. Congrats to Stephanie and Thomas!! Here are some highlights from the day:

We had an amazing shoot with Sanaz and Ali. They came dressed to kill and they really rocked us with their great style and looks. We had some really great scenes to shoot in along with some awesome light. They were just a pleasure to shoot…great passion between them and again, their style was HOT! Here are a few highlights:

Jane and Elvin wanted to do a little something different for their pre-wedding session. We met up in Palos Verdes and they got all dressed up to take some pictures! It was very cool to see Jane in a wedding gown and we were able to get some pretty cool shots. It’s pretty fun to get these Bride and Groom type portraits without the worries of a wedding day. It would be very cool to do this type of shoot more often. Their wedding is coming up later this year and let’s see if we can beat these! Here are a few highlights from our session:

I was pretty excited when I started chatting with Megan and Ray about what they wanted to do for their engagement session. One of their first suggestions was having me photograph them eating at their favorite Pho restaurant. I was thinking “Heck Yeah!” I really love it when portrait sessions have that personal touch. Our session became a little mini-tour of San Francisco starting at their home and going to a few spots that were special to them. Being able to document Megan and Ray going to their favorite places gave me a little more insight on the personalities of this amazing couple. They recently returned from a 14 month adventure around the world and it ended with a bang! You have to check out this amazing video that Ray produced: HERE. I can’t wait for their wedding in Lake Tahoe later this summer! Here are a few from our session:

We just love being around Polly and Carl. They are so full of life and their great and easy going personalities made their big day so enjoyable for everyone. They had a super cool, small wedding at the Fairmont Miramar and we enjoyed some amazing weather in Santa Monica. We also had the pleasure of working with a great crew of vendors. The crew at The Fairmont were so great…the food was soooooo good! Slomique and Alice of Carpe Diem were on point and such a blast to work with. It’s always awesome to be around great wedding pros.
