Brittany & Andrew: Laguna Beach Wedding Photography

I fell in love with this couple almost two years ago during their engagement session. Brittany is beautiful and one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Andy is an amazing guy and totally in love with Brittany. In fact, I think the first sparks flew between these two in 5th grade and they have been together ever since. Needless to say, I was so excited that their wedding day planned by An All Inclusive Event had finally arrived. Brittany is not only a hottie, but she is also a talented designer. She redesigned her wedding dress as well as designed all of the dresses for the bridesmaids. Take one look at Brittany’s Mommy and you can see that good looks definitely run in this family. The wedding day was just fabulous, but my favorite part of the whole celebration was watching Brittany and her twin brother perform their sibling dance. Seriously, these two can really get down! Enjoy!

Jessica and Anthony: Laguna Beach Wedding Photography

This is this story of a 13 year romance, ending in a beautiful wedding celebration uniquely Jessica and Anthony. It was a picture perfect day at the beach, just the right amount of diffused light peaking through the clouds. Jessica was with her best girl friends from high school while Anthony, a little nervous, finished getting ready in his room! Jessica had not one, but two fantastic dresses and, super duper hot shoes! We had fun finding some new locations at the Holiday Inn Laguna Beach (which, by the way, is a great spot for wedding portraits) and then we were off to Laguna Village for another beautiful All Inclusive Wedding. Instead of a more traditional wedding, Anthony waited in anticipation while Jessica met him at the bottom of the stairs so they could walk down the isle together. After a quick ceremony it was down to the beach where, in Anthony’s words, I earned my $$$$ laying in the sand laughing at both of their silly antics. One of my favorite images on the day is Anthony and Jessica running down the beach holding hands. The funniest part was actually watching this, cause Anthony was really hamming it up, skipping and jumping……. I also love the images of the best friends. You can really tell how much they love each other!

Another break from tradition was toasting with beer steins and the funky cake topper! All in all it was a fantastic day and I really had such an awesome time being part of it. Enjoy!!!!

Jessica and Russ’s casual beach front wedding: Newport Beach Photographer

Today I am definitely catching up with all the beautiful bride’s and groom’s I have been working with this summer. Jessica and Russ are an amazing couple. They just moved into a beautiful new home while they planned this casual ocean front wedding with close friends and family. What I love about Jessica and Russ is they were really about celebrating each other with all their loved ones. They did have the world’s shortest ceremony, but that was to make sure they could have fun and enjoy the day with plenty of dancing and good cheer. Russ was a great sport, because it was sooo hot and he still agreed to cuddled up with Jesssica! Much love to both these two and ENJOY!

At the Beach, Engagement Photography

Fabulous Engagement Session in Laguna Beach: Laguna Beach Wedding Photographer

After last year’s bummer summer weather, I am so thrilled at the gorgeous evenings we have been having at the beach. It is the perfect lighting for anyone, families, engaged couples, kids, weddings…. the list goes on and on. It was back to the Blue Sky’s office with me (you know, my beach front, get your toes wet, office) with several gorgeous engagement sessions over the last few weeks. These two flew over from Vegas to take care of their last minute wedding details with An All Inclusive Event, and to get some beautiful portraits on the beach. I had a blast playing with a new lighting set up and enjoying the beach in an almost private setting! Enjoy!

O’Malley Family’s new addition: Laguna Beach Baby photographer

The wonderful thing about being a portrait photographer for Blue Sky’s Studio is that I get to experience all the important milestones in my client’s life. Take the Hunt family for example. I met them two years ago through my friend Nikki who manages Fairytales. Megan and Shawn were planning a destination wedding in Laguna Beach and I was so honored to work with them as their wedding photographer. Two years later, they have moved to Orange County and welcomed a beautiful new baby boy into their family. I was so excited to meet the newest member of the O’Malley family!

When Megan and her little guy showed up at my home studio, he was NOT in the mood for a photography session. We both tried everything to get him to giggle! Luckily, I have lots of beautiful outdoor spots to work in around my home and we decided to take the session to the outdoors! Well that did the trick and this little baby boy was cracking up in no time! What a beautiful Mamma and baby! Thanks so much Megan for bringing him out to play! :) Enjoy!
