These two beauties were so much fun to photograph! They came ready with a suitcase full of fabulous frocks and a great attitude. I love when good friends share a session. Enjoy!
Can you believe her beautiful blue eyes!
What at beautiful smile!
They belong on the runway.
Day two at Rockledge was spectacular. The wind was blowing just enough to kick up the bride’s veil, the light was lower in the sky and perfect for beach photography and the bride and groom were obviously very much in love!!!! A big shout out again to Berit, from Makeup by Berit for doing a fantastic job once again on the makeup, thank you to Caroline from Robert and Taylor’s for doing a great job on the hair. The beautiful lavender boutique was design by Weddings by Melia and the set up and yummy food was provide by An All Inclusive Event at Laguna Village. All in all I would say that Villa Rockledge is just a dream for a photographer. Each time I visit I find more stunning locations for portraits. I am running back over there today for their open house. If you are interested in attending, please visit their website at www.villarockledge.com. Enjoy!
There are not words to describe how excited I was to shoot a wedding for Villa Rockledge’s Wedding brochure! This historic property was built in the early 1920s and is filled with so many beautiful photographic opportunities, from a private beach, to gorgeous balconies to a medieval turret. We also assemble a “dream team” to get our bride looking haute couture! Berit, from makeup by Berit and Laura for hairstyling. From the flowers to the beautiful linens and chairs, An All Inclusive Event at Laguna Village did a spectacular job giving the estate a wedding makeover. If you are interested in checking out this beautiful spot, they are having a Valentine’s weekend open house complete with appetizers and a full bar for $40 per person or $75.00 per couple. The event is hosted today from 1-5 PM and tomorrow from 1-5 PM. Click here for more information! Enjoy!
Sometimes when I slow down to think for a little while, I realize I have some really cute props, outfits, hats, etc… that I haven’t seen in a while. Take this cute heart chair for example…. I love this chair. When I found it I thought, “this will be great for sassy (yes, I know this is my favorite word) senior shoots, fun boudoir sessions and of course kiddo sessions. But then, I got busy and piled lots of stuff in front of the chair and forgot about it for a while. Sooo, when these great clients asked for something with a valentines feel, I thought, yes, I have a great chair that would be perfect in the park. It was like finding an old friend and I got excited all over again.
The chair worked out great, as did the fun tutu and wings. Anna and I don’t usually shoot in Irvine Regional park and now I am wondering why? It was so beautiful with perfect afternoon light and the kids loved the pond and were really engaged during the whole session. I am definitely adding Irvine Regional Park to my list of favorite places to shoot. Thanks to these two cuties for making such great models. Enjoy!
