Danielle and Donny

Danielle and Donny got married at the beautiful Andalusia in La Quinta, CA. This was the first wedding ever held at the desert country club. I have to say that it was unlike any other golf country club I've been to. This was much more unique with lots of character.

Danielle and Donny's wedding had a Spanish flair, starting with Danielle's dress and mantilla, the wedding invitation and fan-shaped program, topped with flamenco dancers and latin band. This was right up my alley.

Thanks to talented photographer, Jennifer Daigle for helping me photograph this beautiful wedding, and to Carolyn Russom of Signature Events for making the day run smoothly.

Congrats to you, Danielle and Donny! Best of luck to you both as you continue your venture to Los Angeles. I wish for you much love and happiness to last a lifetime.

Jossara Jinaro

Nothing like a friend helping out a friend....Jossara so kindly modeled for me so I can practice using light in a completely different way than I am use to or even comfortable with. Isn't she gorgeous??!! It was quite challenging and took much time to set up, but I think the results were well worth it. Thanks Joss for being so patient!

Tevy and Yun's E-Session

The Long Beach Pike was a stellar choice for Yun and Tevy's E-Session. There was so much to see and do there. We could have easily shot the whole day. In fact, we found ourselves running in the end, as we were trying to use as much available light as possible. We had so much fun. I was so honored to be witness to Tevy and Yun's love for one another. It radiated like you couldn't believe.

What a scorcher it was on that day too...94 degrees in Long Beach!! Yun made sure to keep Tevy and I plenty hydrated with water at every stop. Thanks Yun. I'm beginning to believe that Yun and Tevy really like the heat. They even planned their wedding outdoors in July, one of the hottest months of the year. We are hoping for that ocean breeze.

Thank you Tevy and Yun for being adventurous during your E-Session. I hope you enjoyed the experience! Here are some of my favorites...
