Two in Love

May 15, 2012

Cheryl + Andy = Crazyawesomecool.

I had so much fun with these loves. They are so good natured and you can feel their positive energy being around them. We had such a blast shooting at the old zoo in Griffith Park. We spent so much time cracking up, blowing up confetti, sneaking into an abandoned lion’s cages, exploring and taking great photos. It was the kind of day you can’t stop smiling about. Andy and Cheryl are a perfect match on every level and head over heels in love. I am so excited to shoot their wedding! Now check ‘em out!

Cheryl tried to look tough but is just tooo cute and happy!

One of my favorites sequences ever..

Infinite

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”

-William Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet

Carla and Jamie. You may remember this beautiful couple from their Santa Monica engagement session. They tied the knot, just down the street from the Pier, at Shutters on the Beach. What a gorgeous day it was! Perfectly warm with just a slight breeze. Love was in the air. Literally! We saw a plane go by with a “will you marry me” banner. Must be some kind of good fortune. Carla looked absolutely stunning, even her Bridesmaids were blown away when they saw her saying she looked like a Movie Star. The room was buzzing with excitement and every time Jamie’s name was mentioned Carla’s eyes lit up with so much love. Just as Jamie’s did at the mention of her name when I met up with him and his groomsmen. The long awaited day had finally arrived. They wed overlooking the beach surrounded by their closest friends and family, many traveling all the way from Europe to witness their love. You could feel the joy in their hearts and I am so happy for them! Being in the presence of true love is so inspiring. Thank you Carla and Jamie for having us!! I would also like to thank Skyla Walton for sharing your Photography talents and Second Shooting for this lovely affair. Enjoy!

Just breathtaking.

Waiting to see each other….

What a beautiful moment…

So beautiful in color & BW.

This picture cracks me up! Carla realizes everyone is too tipsy to lift them up safely but Jamie looks super excited anyways haha!

All You Need is Love

May 14, 2012

Melissa + Joe.

What a wonderful couple they are! Melissa is so kind and lovely! She is a Librarian and Joe works in the world of videogames, they both have found their life passions and now they have also found the greatest love together. Besides their darling dog Charlie who they absolutely adore! They are both so calm and their love so natural. Melissa and Joe had a small rooftop wedding at Kyoto Grand in Downtown, LA. The rooftop is a beautiful Japanese Garden surrounded by skyscrapers and is quite a romantic little space. It was such a relaxing, beautiful wedding and Melissa and Joe were beaming with happiness, surrounded by their closest friends and family. They also gave us plenty of time to have fun with pictures and document so many beautiful moments. It was an honor to document such a lovely day for these lovebirds. I also want to say a big thank you to Jen Simon for sharing her photography talents with me this day and Second Shooting, I am super excited to have her on board!

I absolutely love this photo- all the women in Melissa’s family all together!

It Had to Be You

May 4, 2012

Kelsey + Greg.

Prepare yourself for awesomeness. Kelsey and Greg are so stylin and this shoot was just beautiful. We headed to the Union Station in Downtown, LA. The train station is a gorgeous old building and when Kelsey walked over in her vintage outfit, I suddenly felt like I was back in time. She looked stunning (as you will see)! I love when I can imagine a story with the photos, when they feel cinematic and timeless and this was such a shoot. Kelsey and Greg are a perfect match and were so easy going and kind. Their love shines and it was a joy to be around them. They are going to have a wedding in Costa Rica and are soo excited!

Cheers to you both!!

Love the color & BW so much!

Kelsey’s Dad was a Photographer and she brought one of his vintage cameras. I love incorporating meaningful details and thought this was really special.

and some super cute photos from earlier in the day. Walking around Olvera Street, so fun!

Wow – the transformation is amazing!! You can totally experience a sense of “time travel” with this handsome couple. They sure look classy and have created a wonderful opportunity for the impressive talents of their photographer (Miss Laura), to delight us all.

Cori + Craig.

Two cool cats. I was in Photographer nirvana shooting with them. You know…when you are obsessing over every frame and your could never consider what you are doing as work. What a joy it was to spend the day with these lovebirds! We were like a group of teenagers running around, sneaking into abandoned houses, crossing the fence into unknown junkyards, playing in an orange grove. We had a great adventure and that is my absolute favorite style of shoot. Isn’t that what love is really like? Exciting, fun, makes your heart beat faster, gives you the butterflies and makes you feel so fulfilled! I really feel like the luckiest girl to be their Photographer and they are an amazing pair. Cori and Craig are so sweet with each other, they have a love that is perfectly balanced with romance and silliness. They are so very in love and it shows. You can feel it when you look at these photos. This is one of my favorite shoots of all time. Enjoy!
