We had a great time photographing Karen and Mike's engagement session in Laguna Beach.  And despite out best laid plans - it was pretty busy down on the sand on a cloudy and cool Friday evening! 

We started on the bluffs (dodging golf carts along with lots of pedestrians!) then after a change of clothes we headed down to the sand where we dodged flying footballs!  Karen and Mike were great sports anyway and we even hung around to capture the brief sunset.

We can't wait to photograph their September wedding in Huntington Beach. We posted a few favorites in the collage below.  Enjoy!

Surf, sand and sunshine!   Well, some sunshine anyway.  Jeff and Dione were married on the sand in Redondo Beach at The Chart House Restaurant.  Their morning wedding started out cool and cloudy, but the sun eventually came out in time for their rockin' reception in the restaurant over looking the ocean.  Their wedding had a Hawaiian flair, including a conch shell, which was blown by Dione's brother to signify the start of the both the ceremony and the reception celebration.  The flowers were tropical and there were lots of them!  And there were special Hawaiian treats for each guest, including shell place tags made by Jeff and Dione.

We had a wonderful time photographing Jeff and Dione and their family and friends.  We 've posted a few favorite photos from their day in the collage below.  Enjoy!

We had the pleasure of photographing some portraits of Jim and Arlene at Yorba Regional Park.  We planned a late afternoon session to take advantage of the nice afternoon light and we had a nice time wandering through the park and finding interesting places for portraits.  The park has a lot of paths meandering through the trees, and a few lakes and bridges.  You'd never know we were in the heart of the city!

We posted a few favorite images in the collage below.  Enjoy!

We had a blast photographing Joe and Carolyn's wedding.  It was held in a beautiful garden area of Alta Vista Country Club in Placentia.  Although the weatherman was threatening rain, we didn't see a drop and the day was beautiful! 

Carolyn's flowers were gorgeous (made by Celi of Victoria's Garden!) and they were PINK!  heh

The reception was held in the main ballroom and it was tons of fun!  There was lots of dancing, laughter and even a few tears as Carolyn danced with her dad not once, but twice!

We had a blast photographing Nesrin and Baraa's Engagement Session.  We headed down to Laguna on a beautiful day, so there were lots of other folks around enjoying a lovely evening at the beach.  We climbed on the rocks and ran around on the sand.  And even though we were all game for getting a little bit wet, Nesrin and Denice screamed like little girls when the waves crashed in on them!  :)

We're very excited to photograph their wedding on May 17th, but we promise, no screaming at the wedding!

Brenda and Mike were married in the gardens at Diamond Bar Center on April 17th.  You couldn't ask for a more beautiful day; it was warm and sunny for their outdoor ceremony and as the day faded into evening we had the loveliest soft light for portraits. 

The reception was held in the Grandview Ballroom and it lives up to its name!  The views are spectacular and there was plenty of room for the over 250 guests.  The Mariachi Band really livened things up and the DJ kept everyone dancing! 

Brenda and Mike are a very fun and romantic couple - check out some of their portraits in the collage below.

Enjoy!

I had a blast photographing table settings for Jata and Carol from GBS Specialty Table Linens.  Jata and Carol arrived at our studio with fabulous linens, flowers, tableware and accessories.  Their plan was to have four different table settings representing different seasons or events and we took photos of each full set-up and some details for their website.

The linens were beautiful, the flowers were gorgeous, the tableware was chic, elegant and classy and the way they put it all together was incredibly creative and beautiful!  

I can't decide which was my favorite - they were all gorgeous!  I posted favorites from each table setting in the collages below.  Enjoy!
