Parker + Sara: LDS Newport Beach Temple Wedding Photographer

Remember Parker and Sara? These two are an amazing couple whose love is ridiculously tangible and touched every heart at their wedding. They were sealed in the LDS Newport Beach Temple on July 3, which was a beautiful day! Their family was there to support them and their Bridal party rocked the casbah. The reception was held at Dove Canyon Courtyard, who took care of the event beautifully! Right before the reception, they had a very touching ring ceremony where they expressed their love for each other and I, of course, cried like a little girl. . . I love weddings. Just look at theirs:

Exiting the Temple.

Everyone in front of the Temple!

Don’t you just love the flowers? They were created by a Groomsman’s mother.

Tribute to the King of Pop.

Seriously, this bridal party was just too fun!

Um… gorgeous much?

He was such a champ during our “reflector torture” (and doesn’t he look handsome?)

My favorite!!! Love-Love-Love this image.

This is a close second. I love how they hold on to each other.

Ok… and I love this image.

…and THIS one… look how cute they are! There was just too much love throughout the entire day! (it was perfect)

Sun flare makes me warm and fuzzy. (on our way to the reception!)

First dance… they “twirled”. I love it when theres a “Twirl”!

Father and Daughter.

Mother and Son.

Best…cake exchange…. EVER.

Just look at that face!

…Bouquet…

…Garter.

Their “get away” consisted of bubbles, parental hugs and a fantastically decorated Hummer limo. It was basically made of awesome.

Both Parker and Sara’s families were so fun and very kind to us (and Alfred, who was shooting with us that day). We are incredibly thankful to be a part of their day!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MURRI'S!

The Matheson Family: Orange County family portrait photographer

You might remember the beautiful Matheson family from their portraits last year (on our old blog) or from our portrait site (their image if the first one on the slideshow). Well another year has past and if possible, they have become even more adorable and lovely! I absolutely love working with these children. They are honest and oh so natural (except for maybe Eden, who loves to strike a pose.) And, of course, Mom and Dad are easy to guide and amazing with their kiddles.

I truly love the interaction and connection you see with parents and their small children, and its even more satisfying when I can capture it for them!

Mom and Dad

This kid could pose for GAP, I swear!

Doesn’t his smile just make you melt?

Little Miss. Strike-a-pose. She knew how to work the camera.

and they ALWAYS get along this nicely, right mom and dad?

Smiles…

…and silly faces!

this is more like the every day, right?

I love this series…

…

…

…just too cute.

The boys.

The girls.

Love is spoken here…

Once again, the Mathesons have totally rocked a session! Thank you for being so adorable and so fun to photograph. You guys are truly an amazing family and Blake and I are both so lucky to have you in our lives.

(coming soon: Parker and Sara's beautiful wedding!)

The Green Paige Photography’s Economic-Bummer-Super-Exciting-Contest/Giveaway! (TGPPEBSECG)

Lately it seems like no one has been able to avoid the current economic slump, especially couples planning their nuptials. We completely understand how difficult budgeting for your wedding can be WITHOUT the stress of tough times, so lack of funds can only make things harder and deter from the most amazing, special day of your life. In order to assist couples who deserve more than is financially possible for them (And, quite honestly, what bride DOESN’T deserve a bit more than is financially possible?) we have developed our own stimulus packages to give to 2 very lucky couples!

• Package “B”: a complimentary Engagement session (which includes: two 5x7s, one 8x10 and five full resolution images on CD for your personal printing and reproduction use.)
• Package “A”: the same as package “B” + 50% off any wedding package.


Ok, here are the rules:

1. In order to enter: send us an email at thegreenpaige@gmail.com explaining why you and your fiancé should win! Your reasons don’t necessarily have to be economic ones; it can be because of your fierce love for one another, because you’re both beautiful and attractive people or even because one of you can belch the entire alphabet…the reason can be ANYTHING, just give us one! Along with that email, please include a recent picture of yourself and your fiancé, preferably your favorite recent image of the two of you.
2. In order to be considered: you must be an ENGAGED couple at the time of entry and your wedding date must be on OR before May 31, 2010.
3. You CAN enter another couple (which would be very thoughtful) but the couple must meet the guidelines above, be aware and approve of their entry, and … actually WANT us to shoot their wedding.
4. If you are chosen: you must submit your wedding date within a week of winning so we can hold it for you. If you change your wedding date, we have the option of choosing another winner or retracting the 50% discount. (Because, we will probably have told another Bride and Groom we were unavailable for their wedding due to your booking. If you then change the date not only were we unable to book another wedding, the other couple was unable to book the photographer’s they wanted… so basically, that would really stink.) Also, if you win and decide you’ve changed your mind, you can transfer your “package” to another couple but they must meet the guidelines specified above and understand all rules of TGPPEBSECG (it’s so much fun just to type!) and you must transfer your package within a week of winning.
5. If less than 100 entries are recieved package"B" will be omitted and only package "A" will be given away.

OK! We literally cannot WAIT to read your entries and we will be oh so happy to announce the winning couples on September 16th, 2009, which just happens to be our very own wedding anniversary.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
