Claudia and Ashley's Wedding

Claudia and Ashley got married at the Sierra Lakes Golf Course in Fontana. It was a beautiful, hot day filled with lots of love. Claudia looked gorgeous in her gown and I loved how she wore her hair half up and down. It looked very romantic. They accented their special day with red roses and the bridemaids even wore siren red gowns. Great choice! Ashley surprised Claudia during the ceremony with a speech he had prepared for her. It was an emotional and charming speech...I just love surprises. During the reception, they were ready to dance, dance, dance. One of my favorite moments was when Ashley's friends gathered on the dance floor when the song "Jump" played. Needless to say, there was a lot of jumping. What a fun event.

Claudia and Ashley hired me to photograph their BIG day years ago. It was definitely worth the wait. I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness together. Please enjoy some of my favorite pics below.

Jennifer and Raul's E-Session

A Day In The Life Of Jennifer and Raul...fun, fun, fun. We followed the path in which Jennifer and Raul spent one of their favorite kind of days together. We started off at the famous, Tito's Tacos, where they shared some of the best tacos in the world. I can't believe I ate before the e-session. Boy, did those tacos look good. We then drove to Manhattan Beach and snapped a few shops in the parking structure, followed by a visit to The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I have to mention that I use to be a Starbucks girl, but after tasting one of Coffee Beans tasty beverages, I may have to switch over. Jennifer ordered me the same drink that she ordered: a Regular Espresso Mint Chip Ice Blended, No Sugar Added with Extra Mint. Yum, Yum, Yum. That's all I have to say. In fact, a few days later I found myself near a Coffee Bean in which I HAD to stop and order THE drink. I was in heaven, so I called Jennifer to tell her where I was and I told her it was all her fault. I just received a wonderful surprise in the mail...Jennifer sent me a gift card to The Coffee Bean. How awesome are my clients! Thank you Jennifer!

Okay, back to the e-session...after our tasty drinks, we strolled down to the beach and found some interesting things along the way. First, there was the beautiful green and red door that I wanted to take home with me, then as we reached the pier, we noticed the aftermath of what appeared to be a huge volley ball tournament. We used some of the props that they left behind, like the volley ball posts, the black couches and curtains from what we thought was the temporary kitchen.

Jennifer and Raul played in the water as the sun set. Good thing they brought an extra change of clothes because they got soaked! Just as we were about to leave (and after they changed their clothes), I snapped a few more shots in a back alley of some furniture stores, a hot-spot club and another parking lot escalator. What a full and fun day!

I am anxious to work with them again! I had such a good time with my new friends. Please enjoy the pics of this wonderful couple.

Veronica and Jung E-Session

Veronica, Jung and I met at the Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA for what was suppose to be our first of three stops. Needless to say, there was so much potential that we decided to stay until sundown. There were several photographer's there to photograph other couples, the beauty of the cityscape and the modern architecture. We had a great time running around and getting in a fairly good workout with the many staircases we had to climb. Ironically, Veronica ran in to her cousin. He was there taking another out-of-towner family member to see the sites. I am really looking forward to working with these two on their wedding day. They are a joy to be with. Here are some of my favorites from the day.
