I met Victoria and Tony last week, as they started planning their April wedding. It so happens, we’re both getting married at Calamigos Ranch! With similar tastes and styles, Victoria wasn’t hesitant booking. She pretty much inquired, consulted, and decided to book within 72 hours! I guess, when you know, you know… and I’m so glad to be a part of their wedding day plans! On Friday, we did their fun engagement shoot at Santa Monica Pier. Victoria brought a couple of props and we had a great time exploring. I think this first picture pretty much sums up their playful spirit! =)
The first outfit matched their school spirit. Blue and gold for UCLA!
It’s pretty much the middle of wedding season and you’ve been seeing lots of love on the blog, but last night was a little different for me. I was covering the Sony E3 press release party with 5,000 guests. There was love, but I guess more on the technology front. Long story short, at the end of the night there was a surprise performance by Jane’s Addiction. I just had to share some of my faves.
I just couldn’t help taking lots of pictures of Dave Navarro… he’s not too bad to look at. 😉
Some other things going on included hip hop and ballet dancers.
I dunno the name of this DJ, but he was awesome! Gotta love the eye contact. =) Hey-yo!
Karina and Kevin tied the knot this past Sunday at Malibou Lake Mountain Club. For their wedding they pulled inspiration from the Anthropologie store catalog and chose bright yellow and blue to brighten up their day. I had a chance to get to know them during their Malibu engagement in December right down the street from their wedding location. You can peep some of the engagement pictures HERE. Friends and family may see all the wedding images HERE.
This beautiful bay window at the reception spot overlooked the ceremony site, and it also made the perfect spot for the dress shot!
There were so many flowers all over the property. It smelled so good! And at sunset, the reception site was so pretty. I love the twinkling lights.
When I arrived at the site earlier in the day, I noticed the entrance sign to Malibou Lake. It had twinkling lights on it, and I just knew it would make a great night shot! I was pretty much looking forward to picture one all day long.
A couple of shots behind the scenes.
This past weekend, I had the great pleasure of photographing Tara and Timmy as they tied the knot at the house Tara grew up in Newhall, CA. Her style was “shabby chic with a vintage vibe.” When we first met and she described her wedding to me, it seems she named all the pretty colors of the rainbow and said that would be mixed with burlap and lace. After seeing them and their vision, I knew the wedding photos would be awesome! They are both gorgeous and I really love backyard weddings. Friends and family may see all the wedding images HERE.
The flowers were amazing!! A classy mix of white and yellow. I love the detailing of burlap, lace, and pearls on the stems.
Tara’s green eyes are stunning!
The ceremony and reception both took place in the back yard. Tara created an alter made of a door and windows to represent a home.
The backyard was so amazing. Can you believe it fit 200 guest very comfortably?!
As guests were enjoying some refreshments before dinner, we had time for some formal pictures at the neighbor’s large Oak Tree.
I love these centerpieces! Simple, multicolored, and bright.
