It had to be the hottest day of the year so far...112F! But it didn't seem to faze Sasha and Trevor, who had a fabulous wedding at Thornton Winery in Temecula.

The wedding was held on the lower lawn, overlooking the beautiful rolling hills and Temecula Valley vineyards. The reception and celebration was held on the Fountain Terrace and as the sun went down we were treated to a beautiful sunset and cooler temps!

Did I mention Trevor has an identical twin?! They were easy to tell apart; Trevor was wearing the white tux!

I posted some favorite images from the day in the collage below. Enjoy!

That was fun! I met Julie and Kyle in Downtown Fullerton on Sunday morning for their engagement session. Kyle grew up in Fullerton and he and Julie will be getting married there in November, so it was the perfect spot.

We started in front of the old Fox Theater and then took advantage of the great morning light and the fabulous, early 20th-century architecture, especially the very romantic Villa Del Sol!

Kyle and Julie are a great couple, very much in love and they love to have fun! I posted a few favorites from the session below.

Enjoy!

This time tomorrow we will be in Beijing!!!

We are taking a much needed break (it's a long story, but this is not ONE but TWO cancelled vacations later) and are headed off to China for 20 days!

Even though we aren't packed yet (gack!) we are incredibly excited to visit Beijing, Xian, Shangri-La (instead of Lhasa in Tibet - boo hoo!), a short cruise on the Yangtze River, then on to Shanghai, Guilin and Hong Kong. Sounds amazing, no?!?!

We'll be back on May 28th - and if you need anything - leave a message or an email. We'll be checking in periodically.

See you soon!

Ali and Grady exchanged vows at the amazing [seven-degrees] in Laguna Beach. It was a gorgeous Friday afternoon wedding followed by an incredible celebration!

The wedding was held on the hillside terrace of this innovative multi-media art and event center nestled in Laguna Canyon. The granite, glass and contemporary architecture was a fabulous back-drop for a fabulous couple.

The party got started in the media lounge, which was all decked out with colorful lights, candles and flowers, and included some wackazany karaoke!

Some favorites from the day are posted in the collage below. Enjoy!

We participated in the Great Bridal Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center on Saturday, April 24th. What an amazing day! The turn-out was incredible and we met a LOT of fabulous brides and grooms, and their wonderfully supportive friends and family. We even met a few great kidlets too!

We handed out jelly beans (can anyone guess the flavors?!?) and brochures and really enjoyed talking with the visitors to our booth and sharing our photography.

If you didn't get a chance to see us yesterday, we'll be back at the Great Bridal Expo - Anaheim Part II on November 2, 2008.

We posted a few images from our booth in the collage below. Enjoy!

What a difference a week makes! We photographed Jeff and Dione's engagement session in Old Towne Orange (popular place, eh?!), but this weekend the weather was quite cool and instead of being nearly deserted in the early hours of Sunday, the place was packed with a Car Show! Jeff and Dione took it in stride as we hung out in the circle, and at Jeff's mom's cousin's store (I hope I have all of my posessives right).

After Old Towne, we headed up the street to Hart Park for a little more privacy; except for the small crowd of young ladies who "ooohed" and "aaahhed" at Jeff and Dione being their romantic selves! Kudos to Jeff and Dione for maintaining grace under pressure; they had an audience everywhere we went!

We posted a few of our favorites from the session in the collage below. Enjoy!

You just never know what treats are in store when you go to the dentist. Especially when your dentist is a family friend. And he's many miles from home. In the desert. On Route 66.

Between xrays and dinner we had a little time to kill, so we drove a section of Route 66 in search of...something. We didn't have much time, and there was a lot of nothing between the somethings. Nevertheless, we were intrigued by the never-ending train, the almost dry river bed, an abandoned gas station and the incredibly blue sky. We posted a few favorite kicks in the collage below.

Enjoy!

Meet Matthew and Michelle; a sizzling couple we photographed on a very hot day! We met Matthew and Michelle in Old Towne Orange on Sunday, April 13th, and wowza! was it ever hot that day. But they kept their cool as we wandered around the traffic circle and photographed them having a little fun and a little romance.

Matthew and Michelle are getting married in 2009, after they both finish up graduate degrees from UCI. We had a blast photographing them in spite of the heat. They are a great couple, very much in love and a lot of fun!

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