Leah and Keith | Newport Beach LDS Temple | Kiwanisland Reception

Leah and Keith are two stellar people. 

Down to earth, loving and so gracious.

Put that with together with Leah's incredible beauty and OF COURSE she's Miss California 2012.

(she's also a very talented harpist)

Keith is one of those dashingly handsome Marines you hear about.

Yes, they're the perfect couple. 

Its disgustingly adorable

Denise and Shaun | Wayfarers Chapel Wedding | Backyard Reception

Denise and I met when we were in 7th grade. We were kind of awkward  and rocked bangs, so of course we were friends. 

Throughout high school we passed notebooks back and forth with VeggieTales songs and other notes inside and were just generally silly.

We kept in touch via Facebook and I was so happy and just honored when she asked us to capture her wedding day. Then she described her vision of her nuptials, I was that much more excited!

Lovely and Romantic with the Ceremony at the Wayfarer's Chapel and a backyard reception, Denise and Shaun's wedding was one our favorite weddings this year.

A&A First Look | Azusa Pacific University Wedding | Wedding Duo Film

Do you remember Amanda and Aaron and their lovely engagement session by the lake?

Well their wedding was equally adorable!

Held at Azusa Pacific University during an off and on rainy day, Amanda and Aaron tied the knot surround by friend's, family and loads of fun details and beautiful moments.

Amanda and Aaron chose to have a first look before the ceremony (a HUGE plus, stress reliever and fabulous moment-producer). It was so touching, and we were able to capture the romantics and wedding-party images pre-ceremony. (woohoo!) 

The ceremony was personal and loving. Amanda and Aaron passed their wedding rings around on a custom pillow for their guests to touch and bless with their love. 

The reception was a blast. Every guest received a custom candle at their table. They also received homemade pickles, which were amazing. 

At the beginning of the reception, Amanda and Aaron showed their engagement video and it was a hit. 

We feel honored to be a part of Amanda and Aaron's wedding day. Thank you, both, for your honesty of emotion and your love for one another. It made our job easy.

Mr. Lincoln | First Birthday Portraits | Sunshine and Balloons

Mr. Lincoln has turned 1! 

Can you believe it?

Do you remember when he was born? I was so happy to have been a small part of that beautiful day and I'm so thankful now my own son is such good buddies with this little guy.

Oh Mr. Lincoln, we love you. 

Kristi & Scott | Wedding | Oak Canyon Nature Center | Tustin Brewery

Kristi and Scott were married in one of the most beautiful locations we've had the privilege to shoot.
The Oak Canyon Nature Center.

J+B Wedding | Newport Beach LDS Temple | Cultural Hall Reception

When Julie won our Brides and Buds giveaway, I was so excited! We loved working with her family at her sister's wedding and couldn't wait to see them again.

Julie and Bryant's Engagements were one of my all time favorite sessions. They're the kind of stunning couple who don't realize how beautiful they are, so they're kind of goofy together too. 

Basically they're made of magic and I love them.

M. Family | Portraits | Carbon Canyon | Paige and Blake Photography

The beautiful carbon canyon hiking trail in Brea was the absolute perfect location for these family portraits. And not just any family, I have been blessed to photograph this beautiful family since the twins were only two. 

And even before that I was lucky enough to be their nanny.

Watching these kids grow up has been a joy and I cannot believe how grown up they actually are!

It was tons of fun walking the trail to the redwoods and capturing the moments with this amazing family.

A+A Engagements | Love Story Duo Film | Orange County Park |

No April Fools for us today! Just some sweet engagement images.

Amanda and Aaron's engagements were simple, sweet and very lovely. 

I love it when we get to shoot an engagement right after we shoot the interview portion of a Love Story Duo film.  The emotions are still right there on the surface and it feels like a seamless transition from proposal to now. 

J+B Engagements | Seal Beach Pier | Paige and Blake Green Photography

Jule comes from a family of Beautiful women with awesome husbands and lovely weddings. 

We had the pleasure of capturing her sisters Engagement/Wedding moments. So, when Julie contacted us we were so happy to be working with her and her family again. 

Seal Beach was the perfect location that morning. It was foggy practically empty. . .

A+J Wedding | Newport Beach Temple | San Clement Historic Cottage

I love Amanda's style. I knew I did when we shot their engagement session in San Juan Capistrano.

So it shouldn't have been a surprise when her wedding was filled with stylish details in the perfect hues. 

(And a shout out to Sugar Branch Events who executed Amanda's vision beautifully.)
