The wind was howling and the tide was high…..I was sure that we would have to move Tricia and John’s engagement shoot to another beach, but we decided to head down and check out the beach anyway.   I adore that particular beach because you can get so many different looks and landscapes out of just a small area.  Lucky for me… this was one of the only beaches protected from the wind and there was hardly anyone on the beach!  Sooo….my beautiful beach, a fabulous couple and sail boat blue seas, everything I could ask for in a photography session.   Not to mention, that I am a sucker for tattoos on beautiful people and these two delivered!  Enjoy!

I peaked out my window the morning of Travis and Katy’s wedding and was sad to see the rain POURING down…..I think they say it is good luck if it rains on your wedding day, but “They” must not be a photographer.  Anywho, Anna and I jumped in the car early and headed down to Temecula praying that the rain would let up, especially since the reception would take place at a Golf Club!  It continued to rain through the ceremony, but the sky’s opened up just in time for us to do a beautiful bride and groom session in outdoors.  As you can see, it would have been a shame to have to go indoors for all of the portraits.  Katy looked stunning and Travis looked star struck!  These two we so sweet together.  Not to mention that they both has fantastic families and wedding parties.  Katy’s Dad’s wedding toast was the best I have EVER heard!   Seriously, he should be a comedian.  Enjoy the beautiful images!

Beautiful lighting and a beautiful family makes for fabulous portraits!  The McCarthy family really delivered.  Not only did we have a lot of fun, we zipped through the Mission capturing so many beautiful family shots, it was really hard for me to choose my favorites.  I guess my one of my favorites from the day was the family walking!  I love the way the boys are messing with each other!  It is so typical of siblings and every time I look at it, I get a big smile on my face!  Enjoy!

One of my favorite things is discovering a new beautiful place in Southern California to shoot!  This spot was a fabulous find!  The lighting was yummy, the architecture was gorgeous and the couple was stunning!  Not to mention that the Ana (the soon to be bride) is Victoria’s best friend (if you ever visited our original location in Laguna Hills, you will remember Victoria the fun & fab photographer)!  I had such a great time on this shoot!  Victoria supervised and I got to take all of the in between moments.  I honestly felt like I was in Europe with the City Hall building as our backdrop.  Enjoy all the images!

Anna and I were so fortunately last week to be involved in all of the festivities leading up to Angela and Ali’s Wedding Number one (Wedding number two will be in India, complete with an elephant!)  Angela looked stunning is her fuchsia Sari with all the beautiful accessories to match.  Ali was so easy going and fun and even let us take a portrait of him getting his hair done by two stylist!  You could tell immediately that these two were loved by friends and family alike.  I heard so many words of praise for Angela, from her employers to her family to her best friends!  And Ali’s family and friends all flew out from New York on very short notice to share the wedding day.  For me, the day was a dream come true.  I loved all of the details of the ceremony itself and the beautiful colors and fragrances that were a part of the ceremony.  Thank you so much for letting us share the day with both of you!  Enjoy~
