{alisha & tyler | wedding}

This past weekend I had the delight of photographing Alisha & Tyler’s wedding at the Hyatt in Valencia followed by their reception at Knights of Columbus. Alisha looked stunning with her birdcage veil, blue shoes, gorgeous dress, make-up and hair. Tyler didn’t look so bad himself, lol. And Alyvia, our mini bride was so cute and helpful. For anyone getting married at the Hyatt in Valencia I highly recommend the McBean Room. It is huge and has so many photography opportunities, I love it! We got some amazing shots in the room as well as on the grounds of the Hyatt. The bridal party was so awesome and fun; we all had a great time! It was a beautiful day, and we did the “no rain dance” to make sure it stayed that way, lol. I had a wonderful time and I hope everyone enjoyed the day and photos as much as I did. Tyler, Alisha, and Alyvia are such wonderful people and are going to make a great family!

{matt | bar mitzvah}

I had the pleasure of photographing my first Bar Mitzvah for the Witkin family, which was held at William S. Hart Park. The Witkin’s are very fun and energetic and I had a blast getting to know the rest of the family. We got some stunning shots of Matt and his family and friends. Although Matt was very nervous prior to the ceremony, he did an awesome job reading. It was so wonderful seeing the ceremony and how proud his parents and family were. During the reception Matt and his friends who are in a band performed and did a great job. I love the street fair theme and all the details, everything looked great. I really enjoyed the day and new experience. Thanks for the awesome opportunity and I hope you enjoy the images!
