Stacey and Kevin were married the day after Thanksgiving at one of our favorite places to shoot, Padua Hills Theatre in Claremont, Ca.  We were especially excited to shoot this wedding for a couple reasons, one was that we had never met Kevin and had only met Stacey one time when she booked with us so we were very excited to get to know them better.  We immediately felt like old friends, these two are such a sweet and fun couple.  The second reason is because Padua Hills just went through a complete renovation and we couldn’t wait to shoot the beautiful new grounds.  The trees here are some of the most beautiful trees that I’ve ever seen and being so high up in the mountains it doesn’t even feel like you’re in Southern California.  I just adore this location and Stacey and Kevin, it couldn’t have been a better wedding.  Thank you both again for letting us be part of your special day.

Lara and Lance are getting married next year at one of our favorite places to shoot, Padua Hills Theater in Claremont.  These two have such a great sense of style and are so much fun to work with that it makes us even more excited for their upcoming wedding.  We headed out to San Diego for their engagement session to take advantage of the beauty of Balboa Park and this shoot could not have been better, with gorgeous light and a very photogenic couple, not to mention all the endless spots to shoot at Balboa Park.  I only wish that the light had lasted a little bit longer, but this time of year the light falls so fast, so if you have an upcoming wedding or engagement session with us make sure to plan pictures for the golden hour between 3 and 4:00.  Thanks again for a great afternoon you two!  I hope you enjoy the sneak peek and have a great Engagement party this weekend.

Katie and Jay decided to have their engagement session in Downtown Disney, and I was so excited because I’ve shot many times at Disneyland inside the park but never downtown.  These two got up super early to drive out to Disneyland before anything opened so that we wouldn’t have to worry about crowds and we would get great morning light.  The light was perfect this morning and there weren’t too many people around, we also found so many fun colors and textures here, which is exactly why they wanted to have their pictures done here.  Thanks again Katie and Jay for a fun morning!  I can’t wait to see you two again on your wedding day!
