Brittany + Lee || Married || Teasers

Posted in: Preview | Wedding

I can’t say enough great things about these two. Brittany and Lee found me through the amazing team at Dot The I’s events and together they threw an insanely unique wedding at one of my favorites, the Santiago Canyon Mansion. Lee and Brittany have been more than accommodating and flexible with our team from day 1. They had both Kevin and I come out to shoot their photo and video I can’t wait to see everything all done. I seriously had a hard time picking which photos to post since their family and friends provided me some really great moments. I kept it clean in this post though with the more methodical shots. I think you’ll enjoy both these and the crazier ones to come in a few weeks. Hope you guys can wait! For now, please enjoy these teasers.

Kaitlyn + Henry || Engaged || Peter’s Canyon, Old Town Orange

Posted in: Engagement

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Henry and I’ve never seen him so happy before. We met all the way back in high school and although it’s been a while, it’s always great to reconnect with old friends. Henry and Kaityln wanted to incorporate balloons and a bicycle into their shoot so we went out to Peter’s Canyon and Old Town Orange for their shoot. It’s been a while since I last shot here so it was nice revisiting such a nice location. Henry and Kaitlyn were a really easy and fun couple to shoot and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding this month! I hope everyone is having a great week, please enjoy!

Ailene + Ryan || Married || Long Beach, CA

Posted in: Wedding

It was a pleasure for me to capture another one of Ailene and Ryan’s special moments as an addition to all that they’ve been through over many years. As wedding photographers we usually think we have the details of our couples pinned down, but boy did we learn a lot about Ailene and Ryan just from their wedding day itself. If I had been one of their friends watching them grow up over the years, I would have also been another firm believer that their wedding night was inevitable. Their story from the beginning of how they met, to their not-so-average dates, to all of the amazing times and memories they got to build with each other, is simply one of a kind.

Glenn, Dominique, and I had an amazing time the whole day with a lot of credit due to the bridal party and family for being fun and energetic from the get go. We started the day off at the iconic Hotel Maya, where we may or may not have sustained any head injuries and or damaged hotel property. We then finished off the night at The Grand with a nostalgic slideshow and an extremely detailed showcase of kissing methods (I took some notes for future references).

Thanks for having us out Ailene and Ryan, when we have our own Team Kevin Hall of Fame, you’ll be one of the first to be inducted in!
