Congrats to Brandon and Natalie! How cute are they?! Brandon proposed at SLS Beverly Hills amongst close friends, which we more or less re-created the following day. We spent the first part of the day at SLS shooting around the hotel then ventured over to Rodeo Dr and even were able to shoot in their friends suite at the Beverly Wilshire, which was an absolute dream! Look at that liiiight! Soooo dreamy! UGH!
What do you call it when a bride asks her friends to be her bridesbabes? I can't think of a name honestly, but this session/event/hang out was awesome! Jacqueline flew to New York from Chicago to ask her best friends to be her brides babes "it had to be you!" It was perfect timing because I was also in New York staying pretty close by, so I was able to meet at the Crosby in Soho to capture all the special moments! So excited for her bachelorette party in Palm Springs and her bridal shower in NYC!
Absolutely LOVED this backyard family session with The Greenbergs. We met in the middle of the day for a quick session and the light was GORGEOUS! Grandad was there, too to join in and of course we had include their fur baby. I love sessions like this because they're already in their comfort zone and can just hang out. I let the boys play a little and have fun, but also snapped some posed photos.
second shot for Nicole Leever
It's always a blast second shoot for Nicole and this Temecula vineyard wedding was nothing short of awesome. Karissa and Eric have been guests at a few of the weddings I've shot with Nicole, so I instantly recognized them and was totally comfortable around them. They're such a sweet and thoughtful couple who clearly love each other. They shared special moments together from their first look to Eric reading the note Karissa left him to hanging out with their wedding party.
The Hui family was so so sweet and total troopers for waking up to meet at 6AM! So dang early, but man that morning light is GOLD!! It was so dreamy! We wandered around a bit and were able to get some beautiful images with the morning light right behind them.
Capture real, raw moments.
