Meet Jenelle and Mike!  Today we shot their engagement session in San Diego complete with a backdrop of some of best skies and sunset we’ve seen in a awhile.  We started off at the super cool L’Auberge Del Mar Resort Hotel, then headed down to the beach below to finish the session.  Thank you both for a great afternoon, we look forward to seeing both again soon!

Michele and Greg celebrated their wedding at the Cravens Estate in Pasadena, Ca.  These two had an intimate ceremony and reception with almost all the guests from out of state.  Michele and Greg met in school and both were crazy about each other but neither knew it, they had crushes but it never turned into anything more and then they moved away from each other.  After a while of being apart they realized they were living in the same area again and rekindled their feelings for each other.  While the Officiant told this story to the guests they laughed and cried, and it was so wonderful to see the two of them looking into one another’s eyes remembering how they fell in love.  Louis and I couldn’t have been more happy to be there to capture one of the happiest days of their lives, thank you again Michele and Greg for inviting us to photograph your wedding.  We hope you two enjoy this sneak peek!

Engagements for 2010 weddings are in full swing!  Meet Courtney and Nick.  I was very happy to shoot an engagement with a fall type setting.  Looking forward to more of these type of sessions soon.  Thank you Courtney and Nick for choosing a great location!

Andrea and Ryan were married at the beautiful Mission Inn Hotel in Riverside. We met these two over a year ago when we did their engagement pictures in San Juan Capistrano. What we loved so much about them is their great personalities and that they are so sweet and flirty with each other, they were a blast to shoot at the engagement session and we knew for sure that the wedding would be so much fun. Another thing that made it wonderful to work with these two is that they are also wedding photographers who like us, shoot as a couple. We always get a little bit nervous when we first go into a wedding shooting photographers but it always turns out awesome because not only do they have their own great ideas for posing and locations but they also know exactly how much time is needed to get some really great pictures. We had about two hours after the ceremony for shooting and I didn’t know what to do with myself when they kept wanting to go back out even in the dark for pictures, that almost never happens.

Thank you again Andrea and Ryan, your wedding was beautiful and you two are such a great couple! We really enjoyed spending your wedding day with you both.

Kristina and Cesar celebrated their wedding at Nixon Library in Yorba Linda.  We absolutely love Kristina and Cesar, since the moment we met with them we all had so much fun laughing with each other, which is something that is so important with your photographer. One of the things I think is so beautiful is when a couple is laughing with each other and really having a good time, and these two were the entire day. We couldn’t have been more happy to be shooting a fun and happy couple at one of the most beautiful venues in Southern California. Not to mention one of our favorite coordinators made the day go flawlessly, Amanda from In the Now Events is brilliant and always makes her weddings come to life in so many ways.

Thanks you so much Kristina and Cesar for letting us be part of your wedding day, we hope you love your pictures.
