Andrew + Monique: Long Beach Wedding

A VOGUE WORTHY WEDDING

Second shot for Celina Kenyon

One of the first things Monique told Celina was she wanted her wedding to look Vogue worthy. With a gown like that, perfect hair and makeup, and a handsome husband to be on a sunny California day, it's hard not to be Vogue worthy. She planned every little detail to fit the style and it was truly magical.

I had the opportunity to hang out with the groom, Andrew who was a total blast along with his groomsmen. When he talked about Monique, you knew he was deeply, whole heartedly in love. He even cried when she came down the aisle - oh so sweet! I wish the best to these two! Thanks for having me Celina!

Merle + Ricky: Orange County Indian Wedding

A BEAUTIFUL INDIAN WEDDING TO REMEMBER

Talk about a gorgeous wedding - a gorgeous bride, a handsome groom both with killer style and a party to remember! Indian weddings are definitely a party - long days, multiple days - I don't understand how the bride and groom do it! Probably because of all the food they get to eat throughout the day, which let me tell you was amazing!! I third shot this wedding for Kelly Dobyns and her second shooter was Corey Morgan. They are both great photographers and it was such a blast to work with both of them and learn more about their styles and the Indian culture.

Diana + Mike: New York City Rehearsal Dinner

A FAMILY DINNER BEFORE THE WEDDING

What a fun night celebrating Diana and Mike's wedding with family. I shot their rehearsal dinner for Sara Wight Photography and it was such a blast. The couple was beyond sweet and so welcoming. They're also drop dead gorgeous - so blessed to photograph them!

Gonzo + Shelby: Montage Laguna Beach Proposal

A BEACHFRONT MARRIAGE PROPOSAL

These two are amazing! They are so so sweet! Let me tell you, this was planned SO last minute, like an hour or two before the actual shoot. Another photographer posted she was no longer available to shoot their proposal, but wanted to help him find a new photographer. I reached out assuming he'd already found someone or had already proposed, but guess what! He hadn't proposed and honestly had nearly lost hope in actually proposing with a photographer there to capture it. Turns out I was a God send! We planned to meet an hour later in Laguna Beach at the Montage where he would tell her they were doing family photos. We started with the two of them and as soon as I had my focus, he got down on one knee and well... I'll let the photos do the talking! It was so precious! Look out for the engagement session soon!

Chris + Rachel: Santa Barbara Dinner Rehearsal

A SANTA BARBARA FAMILY GATHERING

Ah these two are the sweetest! Their families rented out this rad house in Santa Barbara for a few days before their wedding. I was so excited to join them on their last day for their dinner rehearsal. Everyone gathered together, took photos, ate food, drank wine and played some corn hole. In order to alleviate some of the hassle on their wedding day, Chris and Rachel thought it was best to get all of the family photos out of the way the day before their wedding, so we did just that and they had a beautiful wedding day!
