Los Angeles Wedding Photographer ~ Amber & Craig 2012-04-02

This wedding was such an incredible event to be a part of!  Amber & Craig were selected to be on WEtv's My Fair Wedding with David Tutera.  I was hired by Amber only a few short weeks before the wedding, and because everything's a surprise on the show, neither of us had a clue about where the wedding would be or even what time it'd take place!  It was this mysterious and fun little adventure, learning little details here and there just a few days before the wedding.  I couldn't wait to get there and see how the whole thing worked; this was my first time photographing a wedding being filmed for TV!  Their episode, "Paint the Wedding Red Bride" was aired last night, which means I finally get to share this gorgeous wedding with you all!!!  

The wedding day itself was one of the most intense things I have ever experienced.  My excitement level was off the charts, and at the same time I was totally nervous.  It was completely different than any wedding I've photographed before - there was no actual timeline, just upcoming film segments; and we only had a half hour to do family, wedding party, and Bride & Groom portraits (I usually spend 30 minutes with just the Bride & Groom!).  Like I said - Intense!  Amber & Craig didn't let any of the craziness get to them.  They're all about love, peace, and positive energy, and all that mattered that day was their love for each other & that they were going to be husband and wife!  The wedding was held in the Downtown LA Fashion District at California Market Center.  The ceremony was beautiful and emotional, followed by a fun filled reception complete with a live band, painter (coolest thing I've ever seen at a wedding!), and Amber & Craig dancing the night away with their closest family & friends.  It was intense and crazy, but oh so worth it.  Congrats again, guys!

Riverside Maternity Photographer ~ Tiffany & Matt 2012-02-03

Soon after photographing one Maternity Session at Fairmount Park, I met up with Tiffany & Matt to do their maternity photos there too!  I LOVE the fact that even though they're in the same park, these two photoshoots are so different - not only were they photographed at different times of the day, but the personalities of each couple really comes through!  Tiffany & Matt were an absolute pleasure to work with, and some of the nicest people I have ever met.  We had a great time just walking around the park, talking about babies, and hanging out ~ I know its gonna be an awesome shoot when I'm just 'hanging out' with my clients :)  Thanks so much for the wonderful afternoon guys, can't wait to see your little bundle of joy!!!

Las Vegas Wedding Photographer ~ Rhonda & Trace 2012-01-12

You may remember Rhonda & Trace from their Engagement Session at Fairmount Park back in August.  I had such a good time with them then, and an even better time at their gorgeous wedding.  This wedding is so not your typical Vegas quickie ~ Rhonda put tons of work into this & it showed!  I couldn't have wished a more perfect wedding for her!!  They were married at the Las Vegas Springs Preserve which is absolutely gorgeous (and we could easily have spent hours there if we had time!) and they rented a drop dead gorgeous private home for their reception.  Everything was beautiful, the food was great, everyone was having fun... I was so happy to be a part of it.  Congrats again, Rhonda & Trace!  I love you guys and hope you have an amazing time in Germany!!

Riverside Maternity Photographer ~ Laura & Richard 2012-01-13

I met up with Laura & Richard at Fairmount Park, which has easily become one of my favorite spots!  They surprised me & brought some fishing poles to the session, too ~ LOVE!   I had met Laura a couple of times years ago, her best friend, Erika,  is one of my longtime clients  :)   It was wonderful seeing her again, especially now that she's pregnant!  She's naturally beautiful, and one of those preggo's who have that amazing radiant glow about them ~ lets just say my job was pretty easy from the start!  I love her and Richard together, they're not afraid to get close & snuggle up! And I know they're going to be fantastic parents and just as loving to their little girl!
