adrienne + jed | married. (rancho las lomas wedding)

January 23, 2012

where do i begin. this wedding was a ridiculous treat. adrienne and jed are one of those couples you wish for. they met in a hostel in chile while there to teach english. they are stunning, fun, laid back and artistic. then when they said where they were getting married, i kind of did a happy dance in my head. i have been waiting for the day to shoot at rancho las lomas and here it was (hello they have tigers and alpacas!) it rained but man, it was gorgeous. she had a rockstar team and her killer diy skills just made this so fun. check out some of their day:


plus the cherry on top was i got to work with steffer pants. thanks so much for being not only a great friend but a killer photographer to have by my side too. <3

amber + chris | married. (chart house wedding, dana point)

October 7, 2011

i was seriously waiting for this wedding to come. ever since i did amber and chris's engagement session, i could not wait to get my camera on these two lovlies again. not only beautiful people but just downright wonderful. they make me smile inside. oh! and hello! i got to see little furball ricky again! total bonus. i love that darn face. he should really be my squishy. so the wedding was at the chart house restaurant in dana point. this made for a really mellow, laid back beautiful wedding. day weddings have an entirely different feeling than most weddings and i have to admit, it feels good. here are some of my favorite moments from their day:
