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!

Tina + Chris || Engaged || Teasers

This last Sunday was actually the first time I got to meet one of our newest to-be bride and groom, Tina and Chris, face to face, and I’ve got to say they’re definitely the Justin Element type of couple and we’re excited to showcase their engagement pictures taken in beautiful Hermosa Beach.  Not only did they get a work out during the session, literally, but so did we!  Their full set is coming soon  and you’ll definitely want to see it!

Who are these people? We do not look this good in real life. Must be the camera-men magic. Thank you for such a fun session! Still think these are stunt doubles.

Oh, stop it.

OMG love. Good job you pretty pretty people.

Nayna + Brandon || Married || Cerritos

Nayna and Brandon have been such a great couple to us. A few months ago we drove down to San Diego and got to shoot at UCSD and the Salk institute and we really got to know them well. Brandon and Nayna are truly two one of a kind souls passionate about what they do and compassionate for those around them. From the first time we met them at a coffee shop in Santa Ana and the last time to their home in Irvine, they’ve made us feel like we were family. We can’t thank you guys enough for welcoming us into your lives and letting us be a part of your day. We enjoyed every minute of it. We can’t wait to eat some “healthy” filipino food during our album proofing :) Thanks again and I hope all of you reading this, enjoy this special ceremony. If you’ve missed the video as well, here’s a link to it from a few weeks ago… https://justinelement.com/blog/2013/04/nayna-brandon-wedding-video-highlight/ Please enjoy!
