Ferry and Irene are having there wedding in their home country of Indonesia in June. I am so excited for them, but it must be so hard to plan a wedding that far away! I got married in San Diego and that was difficult at times! :) This stylish and adorable couple was really fun to work with and I am very happy with their images. After an adventure of very strict rules at Gardens of the World, we decided to head down the road to Paramount Ranch. With my new permit in hand, I just fell in love with this location. It is now my new favorite place!! The mixture of vintage editing and the couple’s modern style make this engagement session one of my favorites!
{ Holden Le ~ Newborn }
Lesli and Nam are clients of mine from 2008. They flew in from Denver for the weekend and made time to come see me for a session with Holden! Unfortunately Holden’s first weekend of air travel and family visits combined with a photo session, was not very appealing to him! He was very upset for most of our session, but we did manage to get some good shots! Here are a few of my favorites…

{ The Wedding Day Timeline }
The timeline of your wedding day is one of the most important and overlooked elements of your planning. With my clients I like to help any way I can to determine it if they aren’t using a coordinator because it is absolutely crucial to having things go the way you want them to. The timeline includes everything from when you wake up that morning until you get to your Honeymoon Suite that night!! You may feel that you want your day to be relaxed and not plan every minute of it, but I can tell you from experience that you will actually be much more relaxed if you plan everything out properly from beginning to end. If you need any help or tips about what takes how long…etc. please feel free to ask me. I also have some wonderful coordinators that can be there for you every step of the way, or just on the day to make sure you can be relaxed and really enjoy your wedding day. After all, that is the idea, right? :)
{ Suzette + Jason ~ the wedding }
Suzette and Jason celebrated their 15th anniversary with the big wedding they never had. These two are so sweet you would never know they are both military trained! Watching the slideshow they put together, I was in awe of the life long love these two have shared. Their daughter Kaitlynn is so animated and adorable and just fun to be around! Their family and friends obviously love them so much and it was an honor to be a part of this amazing event.

{ Liesa ~ Maternity Session }
Liesa and Sean came here last weekend do do an indoor studio maternity session. After having three girls, Liesa is due for a boy and I was honored to capture this for her. We had so much fun incorporating some rock n’ roll, sweetness and a little sexy into our session. Sean was very actively involved with some great ideas too! I had a great time doing this session and I think we got some wonderful variety in the images. I think it is important to help mommies to be feel pretty during this time, especially towards the end and I hope I could give Liesa a view of what a beautiful mommy she is. Here are some of my favorites….

{ Shanna’s Maternity }
An official new addition to Meghan Aileen Photography, are creative portraits of your newborns, tots and bellies! I did a session on Sunday with Shanna and Tim, one of my 2007 couples. I went to their adorable home and was so excited to see their white and green barn, lemon tree and unique assortment of chairs! We even brought the crib outside too. I had such a great time with these two and am really happy with how this one turned out. Thanks for the rootbeer float too, Shanna and Tim! Perfect way to end a session….
The new portrait site will be launched soon so stay tuned!!!
Love,
Meghan
