Anciano Family || Spring Portrait Session || Cerritos Sculpture Garden

Happy Mothers Day friends! In honor of our mother’s here’s a beautiful family session with 5 beautiful mothers. One of my favorite families, Erin and Rocky have come to us to shoot their event, maternity, family, and wedding photos since I can remember and I couldn’t be more blessed to provide for this beautiful family. I love love love their kids and was able to see their newest born who I shot their expecting photos for.

Thank you for including me in your lives yet again and I’ll see you soon. I hope everyone’s mother’s day weekend is going well, please tell you moms happy mother’s day for me! Please enjoy!

Shayna + Bryan || Married || Castaway, Burbank

I love love loved this wedding. Shayna and Bryan did it beautiful and their family and friends, amazing. We shot Shayna and Bryan’s wedding full on with our studio booth, full photo coverage, and full video coverage and had a great time being so engrossed in their day. It started out with a side by side room where the guys got to watch the Laker/Clipper game and the girls, well they were just getting ready. The guys literally got ready in 12 seconds after the game though. We had a beautiful first look followed by a simple session with everyone just outside of the Glendale Embassy Suites. At the end, Shayna and Bryan shared an intimate sunset ceremony at the Castaway in Burbank and showed us how to party. This is their last installment of photos but they still get to relive their day with their full feature film which we’ll be delivering to them personally. Hope you enjoyed our posts about Shayna and Bryan, we loved their very creative wedding, full of do it yourself props and decor and a splice of their personalities. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day, I can’t believe how small the world truly is :) Thanks guys! Please enjoy!

Carissa + Michael || Married || Highlight Video

Tears and laughter filled the crowd during Carissa Rae and Michael’s vows to each other last week. Maybe that’s what you get when you put two artistic people together, maybe that’s what you get when you put two people who are in love with one another as much as they are together. In one day, I was personally able to witness that there are indeed two people out there in the world who fit so perfectly together. As they day progressed and we moved from the getting ready part of the day, to the ceremony, to the reception, I couldn’t help but feel as if I were in the show “How I Met Your Mother”. Everyone that I had encountered, friends, family, and neighbors, had something to tell me about them, and I followed their story to where they are now. All that running around in a grocery store paid off Michael! Come and relive their special day with us one more time through this video!

Tina + Chris || Engaged || Hermosa Beach

Justin and I, or let’s say mostly I, haven’t been active at all in a while, so this weekend with Tina and Chris was a definite change in my everyday lifestyle.  You could say that they’re the opposite of your typical bride and groom.  Instead of using their time working to look their best for their big day, they actually have to sacrifice their exercising time to plan this wedding.  As volleyball enthusiasts and party animals go, Tina and Chris definitely know their way around a game in the sand and a game flipping cups.  We hit up the town of Hermosa Beach and found ourselves crawling and lurking in every kind of nook and crevice we could find.

Carissa Rae + Michael || Married || Teasers

This weekend we were blessed to capture Carissa Rae and Michael Alvarado’s special day. Friday, on their one year anniversary they celebrated with their close family and friends their love for each other in a very intimate and memorable celebration. Their family and friends we’re extremely welcoming and incredibly easy to meld with and I was able to catch up with some old friends as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better day and for better opportunities with our photo and video coverage. We were able to mix our modern and quirky style with the vintage/dapper look that Carissa and Michael embodied. Here are just some of my favorites from Friday, but there really were too many good ones to choose from. Stay tuned for our highlight video and the rest of the photos in the coming weeks, but if you’d like to see more candids from the day, check out the hashtag #uswedding2013. Don’t forget to check out their music at haveyouheardofus.com and their respective youtube sites. Enjoy!
