Carly & Corbin’s Red Horse Barn Wedding

On our first, very hot, weekend of the summer we had the honor of photographing Corbin and Carly’s wedding at The Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach. We started off with just a couple hiccups…. the limo driver locked his keys in the car when he went to pick up Carly, so she drove herself to the wedding, BUT she was incredibly calm and composed about the whole situation.

Carly had an infectious smile and a quick laugh which made the day so fun and relaxed. She wanted to surprise he Dad once she was all fixed up and in her gorgeous wedding dress. Immediately they were both in tears and so sweet together.  She also did a fun meeting with Corbin before the wedding (who she had not seen for 2 months, as he was deployed) where they held hands and told each other how excited they were to get married, without actually seeing each other before the ceremony.

Corbin was quiet and a little shy in the beginning. Obviously nervous and excited about his wedding day. I was told in advance that he would not smile with his teeth (which I took as a challenge). As you can see… we got LOTS of Corbin smiles. Overall Robyn’s Event Planning and An All Inclusive Event did a fabulous job with this Rustic Romantic wedding and we had a blast. Enjoy the sneak peak and don’t forget to watch the wedding slideshow at the end for event more beautiful images! redhorsebarnweddingphotography_0001redhorsebarnweddingphotography_0002redhorsebarnweddingphotography_0003redhorsebarnweddingphotography_0004redhorsebarnweddingphotography_0005

San Clemente Casino Wedding: Amanda and Richard

What a fabulous summer it has been so far!  Portraits and high school senior sessions and weddings, oh my! :)  If you haven’t already heard, I am lucky enough to have partnered with wedding photographer Emily Ivey of Fresh Ivey photography to create a whole new, luxury wedding photography experience called “Bliss” by Blue Sky’s!  We have a brand new website and blog showcasing our beautiful weddings in Orange County and the rest of the country.  Here is a teaser, but please go and visit the full post at our BlissbyBlueSkys blog!

Ro and Joe – Wedding in San Juan Capistrano

Sometimes, out of a bad situation comes something fabulous!  That was definitely the case with Ro and Joe.  This fantastic couple had the unfortunate experience of hiring a photographer who disappeared once he received a payment…total bad situation.  My gal Berit from Makeup by Berit, came to the rescue by suggesting the couple contact Blue Sky’s Studio to see if we had the date open.  As look would have it, we did and that led to us getting the opportunity to photograph them (yeah!)….fabulous!  The rest is beautiful history.  

We were lucky enough to shoot their wedding at Franciscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano (our home away from home).   AND the icing on the cake was that we staged a First Glance at the Mission in San Juan, one of my favorites spots in the whole world….so all of the fabulous wedding portraits were complete before the ceremony…. which gave Ro and Joe lots of time to enjoy partying with their close friends and family.  Enjoy the images from the day and a BIG THANK YOU to BERIT!!!!!

Hope and David: Laguna Beach Wedding Portraits

The beauty of working with a couple over a long period of time, is that in the end, I get to call them friends.  That is definitely the case with Hope and David!  These two have been together for several years and so, when they started to plan for their wedding day, they wanted to make it everything they had dreamed of!  From their wedding ceremony at Laguna Village to their amazing reception at The Hills Hotel in Laguna Hills the day was planned to perfection.  The best part for me, was getting to shoot the “Day After” portraits.  That is right, the beautiful Hope put her dress back on and actually got into the ocean.  Not bad for a gal who had really enjoyed the party the night before.  I am so bless to do something I truely love and Hope and David…. I truely loved you two!  Enjoy!

Petra and Todd: San Clemente Wedding Photography

A magical ocean front property, and a simply stunning bride and groom made this one of the most beautiful Blue Sky’s weddings this year.  Petra and Todd have been planning their wedding day across the ocean as Petra had to wait to get permission to enter the US from Sweden.  Todd’s Mom, who is simply fantastic, did all of the heavy planning for these two and I think she pulled off such a magical event, in such a short amount of time, that she may have a future in wedding planning.  I love the simple red and white color choice they decided to go with and the sunset ceremony was the icing on the cake.  Emily, Samuel and I were honored to be a part of your special day!  Enjoy!
