Dave and Netra Part 2

Dave and Netra had the most beautiful day in Dana Point for their wedding which consisted of two ceremonies... first an Indian Ceremony and then a Christian Ceremony... both were absolutely gorgeous. I had such a hard time going through their images to find my favorites that my first time I went through their images I tagged over 200! Holy cow! To top that off, I had my good friend Greg Bumatay shooting with me for the day so I'm just overwhelmed with how awesome the day was.

Dave and Netra are in Costa Rica enjoying their honeymoon right now, so I hope you two are having the most amazing time ever!! Enjoy your slideshow :)

Wedding Party Feature...

I've been getting featured on the Wedding Party Blog every once in awhile now and it is just such a treat to see my work over there! It's a really awesome blog that helps anyone planning a wedding come up with some great and creative ideas from the featured posts... you'll find weddings from all over the world with all of the latest trends! So cool, and how fun that Erica and Deven's engagement shoot is on there today :)








And last week Amy and Travis were featured!

Have fun!

More teasers...

So last weekend (Sunday the 13th.. still behind I know!) I got to hang out with my new friends Erica and Deven in the Cayumaca Mountains and shoot their engagement pictures which was such a blast! Erica is actually a wedding photographer herself for her biz Acres of Hope Photography, and so it always adds a little extra pressure shooting for another photographer... that said, I couldn't have had more fun or felt more inspired during my time with them. Here are a couple teaser images for now...































I was so excited to post these and holding off until the other weddings were up but I just couldn't wait much longer :) It's going to be another marathon week for blogging so buckle up!

:)

Teaser...

This is a quick little teaser post from last weekends wedding with Dave and Netra in Dana Point! I hoped to have more by today but it was one of those days if you know what I mean :)

Netra was stunning....









And now I'm off to shoot a wedding in San Juan Capistrano's Basilica and will have more up soon! Sheesh it is crank time around here!

Amy and Travis

I'm on a roll for once with these blog posts, yayyyahh :)

Here is Amy and Travis's wedding that was at the Marbella Country Club in San Juan Capistrano... beautiful location, gorgeous light, a good-lookin' couple and super fun friends!

HUGE thank you to Jered Scott for helping out... He's so awesome that he was just published in AP Magazine with a ginormous 6 page spread documenting his travels across the states with bands like Thrice, MxPx, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday... you've just got to check it out. Congrats Jered!

And now for the faves....


















This one is probably an all-time favorite!!






































Day 4 of blogging this week, Check!!

Kellie and Andy

Here are some fave's from Kellie and Andy's wedding up at Weston Meadows in the Sequoia National Forest/Kings Canyon area which was awesome! Enjoy!






The awesome dress...




Gorgeous bride as she's getting ready!










The first look...




One of my faves!




Oh wait this one too!










Buck Rock!




I just love the light in this one, and those are some pretty lovely ladies too...




I love this little guy!




He's hammin' it up for sure.




So precious!!




Ellie is just so darn adorable.






My friends... Kari and Pk. Kari, I think you look adorable too!




Kellie and Andy had bug spray out for guests to keep themselves mosquito free :)




And there was a table set out with a picture and story about each person in the bridal party for guests to look at during the cocktail hour... loved this idea!




But before I talk about the cocktail hour maybe I should post something from the ceremony?!?






And they are married! The end!





Congrats you too!! Thank you so much for having me play a part in your GORGEOUS and so-much-fun day!!

Day 3 blogging, check!

EDIT:: I can't forget to tell you about my amazing 2nd shooter Eric Turner! He rocked it on this once again and I had such a blast working with him. For a later post I'm going to have to find the pics of him climbing a tree for a shot. He always reminds me how to think outside of the box, and that climbing trees and rooftops are the only way to go. Thanks again Eric!

Joe and Chrissy the next day...

We met up early the next morning after their wedding at their hotel on the waterfront to get some pictures of them on the beach before they left for their honeymoon! It was so much fun and I loved some of the images we got... enjoy!












This one is my favorite... the colors remind me of a Manet painting I studied while in school in London. I by no means consider myself anything close to an artist like Edouard Manet at all, I'm just completely inspired by him or any impressionist painter for that matter :)





Day two of the blogging, check!

Last weeks favorite piece...

from So You Think You Can Dance was definitely by Katee and Joshua with their contemporary piece. The song is gorgeous, Hometown Glory by Adele, but the choreography just took it to a whole new place... it's about two selfish people in a relationship unable to let go of themselves and experience life as one. It's just a beautiful yet painful piece of art, beautiful for its lyrical movement and painful for its truth. Stuff this good can only come from experiencing it first hand so it makes me sad to think about what inspired it, but at the same time I love it's honesty and ability to make me feel the disconnect they are dancing.



I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...

See ya tomorrow :)

Joe and Chrissy

Holy cow it is time for me to get back on the blogging train! This week I'm going to have to blog at least once a day in order to get caught up so buckle down and get ready...

One of my favorite couples to hang out with is Joe and Chrissy... from the first time I met them at Mario and Mina's wedding last year I knew these two were going to be fun to be around! They chose to have their wedding at the fabulous 7 Degrees in Laguna Beach, which I have to say is one of my favorite places to shoot at EVER! There is just so much amazing art, textures, colors and architecture to work with, its just a dream. Here are some of my favorites...































































So fun! Stay tuned for a fun ocean sesh we did the next day... :)
