Russell, Julianna, and I ventured out to downtown Riversides historic Mission Inn . That place is absolutley enchanting, although it requires a lot of legwork. We walked up down and around that place, I can imagine people getting lost in there. I had such a blast with these two, they were cuddly the entire time, it was adorable. I can’t wait for their wedding in January. Here are my favorites.
What is there to say about Drew and Lisa? So much that I could write a page or two! Drew and Lisa are high school sweethearts and back in October they decided to tie the knot. Lisa is a petite, but feisty little thing, (from what I can see) she is always wearing adorable high heels to balance out the height of her approximately 6 ft 4 in hubby. I tell you, these two are adorable, the one thing that really stuck with me about Drew and Lisa was how they constantly made me feel comfortable. It was such a blessing to be a part of their wedding, I know they are going to have such a fantastic life together.

Sammy and Natalia are so gorgeous together, they both have such sweet personalities and complement each other extremely well. Their photo session at Newport Beach was such a blast, the lighting was absolutely amazing. It had been a while since I had been down to the coast, about 2 to 3 years. It was nice to scrunch my toes in the sand while doing what I love!

What started out to be a gloomy morning turned into a bright sunny day out in Huntington beach. It was such a pleasure to work with this absolutely adorable couple, I secretly envy their smooth, kick-back style 
Joycie looked AAAAAA-mazing, and well… Glenn and his groomsmen had it goin’ on…(you’ll see below). Their wedding ceremony was short, sweet, and filled with emotion, what a day for the two of them! Below are a few of my favorites from the day, I hope you enjoy…
Yup… she looks Amazing!
I told you they got it goin’ on, don’t you love the staches!
I love this moment, the first time Joycie and Glenn saw each other on their day, so special…
Glenn & Joycie are the sweetest people i’ve ever met. It was a pleasure photographing my ex-coworker When Joycie and I worked together we always talked about what we would do for her and Glenn’s engagement session. These two have such “uniqueness” (I hope that’s a word), it’s so refreshing. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in October, it’s gonna be fantastic! We headed down to Claremont for these shots, it was such a blast with all the old brick and bright green walls! These are my favorites.
Now here is a couple that just exudes love, laughter and all of the above! Isaiah and Kat are such a wonderful blessing to this earth. They recently packed their belongings from their cute little duplex in downtown Fullerton and headed out to start a life and family in North Carolina. Before their final departure I was able to capture them both in their home, below are my favorites! I can’t imagine what God has in store for this amazing couple!
Yes, it’s baby time for the Morales family!!! George and Sandra are expecting their first boy, Diego. I just love that name. We headed down to the San Gabriel Mission to get these shots. It was such a pleasure being able to work with them. Sandra truly is glowing and looks fantastic!!! I can’t wait to see what he looks like. Here are my favorites.
Drew and Lisa were introduced to me by a dear friend and someone you’ve heard of before, Danica Dejong, the designer who fashioned the model Elise at our NYC shoot. “Thanks again Danica for the introduction, Drew and Lisa are fantastic to work with!’
A few weeks ago I got to photograph Drew and Lisa in downtown Fullerton. I had so much to work with, a beautiful classic car, a gorgeous sunset, and well of course, such a beautiful couple! There is no doubt that Lisa knows how to laugh, and there is even more proof that Drew is the one who knows how to make her laugh! Drew and Lisa are high-school-sweethearts with an obvious passion for one another. I can’t wait for their wedding in La Quinta, I can tell it’s going to be a blast! Here are my favorites from their session.
Ruben and Caryn’s wedding was nothing short of unique. They got married at the Christmas House in Rancho Cucamonga, it’s a lovely little spot! The Christmas House was built in 1904 so it definitely offers that vintage charm, the staff was wonderful, and what can I say… I really loved it there! They really made it feel like it was your house for the day. Ruben and Caryn’s families had a blast dancing and spending time with one another in the backyard. I loved the intimacy at this wedding, so far the most warm and comfy wedding yet. Here are my favorites.
Jeremy & Jessica’s wedding took place this past April. They enjoyed a beautiful ceremony outside of the Summit House Restaurant in Fullerton. Right after their ceremony I photographed the couple with their family and friends, they enjoyed a few horsd’oeuvres and then headed off for their grand entrance. Jeremy and Jessica are both performers, with a great deal of experience under their belt. They are so comfortable with one another in front of the camera, they were truly pleasant to photograph… just about perfect in every shot! Here are my favorites…
