Should We Have a First Look?
One of the questions that my clients often ask as they're creating their wedding timeline is "Should we have a first look?" More than anything, your wedding day is about you and your husband (or wife) to be. If any particular tradition is important to the two of you, then, by all means, stick to it. However, if you and your fiancee are open to a different approach, there are definitely some great benefits to having a first look. What is a first look? A first look is a special time...
Long Beach Wedding Photography | Jocelyn & Oscar
Jocelyn & Oscar are so sweet together that watching them kinda just makes you want to melt into a warm and fuzzy puddle. Jocelyn still scrunches her nose when he whispers in her ear and Oscar still can't hide the flush in his cheeks when she takes his hand. Everyone who knows them says the same thing, "man those two were just hand made for each other!" For their wedding day, they opted for simple elegance and of course, LOT's of purple, since it's Jocelyn's favorite color! The ceremony...

Purple & Black Wedding Inspiration | Marbella Country Club Styled Shoot
I first met Kimberly Persons, a wedding planning consultant based in Orange County, earlier this year at a networking event and we hit it off instantly. We quickly found that we had similar tastes in wedding trends and we were both looking for someone new to collaborate with. It was a match made in heaven! We knew we wanted to bring something unique into the collaboration. Something that would appeal to a classic bride but with a twist! The first piece of our inspiration came when Kimberly spotted the dress...
Hyatt Regency Long Beach Wedding
I recently had the opportunity to work with Gary Coelho Photography as an additional shooter for Charisse & Raymond's beautiful wedding a the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Long Beach, CA. It was a beautiful day filled with laughter and oh so many sweet moments. The couple chose to get married at their church and to host their elegant wedding reception at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Long Beach, CA. They selected varying shades of pink, gold, and white for the bouquets, centerpieces, accessories, and decor. Here are some of my favorite's from...
Friendly Hills Country Club Wedding | Briana & Peter
I could hear the sound of laughter when I first walked into Briana's bridal suite on the morning of the wedding. The bridesmaids were finishing up their plan for which door games (a bargaining to get in to see the bride) they would make the guys play to enter the tea ceremony that afternoon. From the corner of the room, Briana's mother beamed contemplatively as she observed her daughter's hair and makeup transformation. Briana couldn't stop smiling as she anticipated the moments to come...
Laguna Cliffs Marriott Wedding in Dana Point, CA
I recently had the privilege of working as a secondary photographer alongside Gary Coelho for a beautiful wedding at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott in Dana Point. The couple for this wedding chose a simple yet stunning color palette of violet and white for their wedding. Breathtaking florals adorned the ceremony area that overlooked the ocean. It was such an incredible view! The bride chose a flattering mermaid style bridal gown with a sweetheart neckline and her bridesmaids wore a mix & match variety of ultra-violet colored gowns. I love it...
Featured on Voyage LA magazine!
To be honest, when I first got the email asking for an interview to be featured on Voyage LA Magazine, I thought it was spam. "Ha! Why would they want to interview me?" But then, for whatever reason, I decided to click over to the examples of the other people who'd been featured and something about the way they were highlighting these young entrepreneurs stood out to me. Each interview was a little different, so it wasn't the same questions/stories over and over. I loved the way they were celebrating these small...
