{ Connie & Daein ~ Terranea Resort Wedding }

Connie and Daein got married on 9.9.09, and it was their anniversary as well…so romantic! The setting was the gorgeous new Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes, and the views are spectacular. I just loved the simplicity and intimacy of their wedding. With under 40 guests, it really was so personal and wonderful. Especially thanks to the wonderful Kathy Recchia of Save the Date Events. What a well organized event! They also had my Photobooth, which is always a lot of fun, and I edited a few to have a more vintage feel. Thanks for having me Connie and Daein, it was a pleasure.

{ Huntington Library and Gardens Weddings ~ collaborative project }

I had the honor of doing a shoot at the The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino. Newly open for weddings on the property, Huntington needed some images for their promotion. The talented ladies at Fresh Events have been chosen as one of the exclusive coordinators for the location and they coordinated this amazing shoot as well. A collaborative effort of some very talented people, including Alison of Le Petit Gardenia and her breathtaking florals, this shoot was really wonderful. Some very hard work went into this during our busy wedding season, and I want to thank all that were involved. The Huntington has so many botanical gardens, collections, and historically significant settings to experience a truly unique wedding. There is so much room for creativity.

{ Adee + Jonathan ~ style and tradition, a wedding at the Skirball }

This amazing couple hired me only 3 months after they met each other. It was love at first sight and they are so adorable together. Being around them you can feel their connection. Their grandparents made the long trip from Israel and were deeply honored at the event through the beautiful toasts and traditions. Adee and Jonathan wanted to have a traditional Orthodox Jewish wedding with a whole lot of style! It was beautiful mix of tradition, modern style, family roots and lots of dancing! Thanks Adee and Jonathan for having me! And a special thanks to Chelsea Elizabeth for the awesome guys shots and some of the details.
