{vanessa + mike | engagement | newport}

Vanessa and Mike are adorable! I love how they were laughing and joking from the first shot we took. It sure did make the session fly by with ease! They were just giggling and goofing off with eachother the entire time and it made for some great images. Vanessa is one of Gianna's (Chic Celebrations) best friends and I was so honored when she told me she wanted me as her wedding photographer. Of course I jumped all over it! Gianna is amazing and Vanessa and Mike are one of the most fun loving couples. We had such a great time on the cute little main street in Newport and around Newport Bay. Newport Bay is a special spot for them as that is where Mike proposed. It was very sweet to walk along one of their favorite spots and capture them in their natural environment. Love when sessions are personal and intimate. Makes the images so much more special and unique. Can't wait for your big day!

{kiomi + olivia | wedding | long beach museum of art}

Kiomi + Oliva were married at Long Beach Museum of Art. A beautiful location over looking the ocean. What a great view! Kiomi + Olivia had a very intimate reception and even more intimate ceremony with only 10 family members. It was a beautiful sight to see their immediate family watch as this amazing couple got married. I love when couples have a friend marry them, it makes it so heartfelt and touching! The ceremony was gorgeous and the reception was a blast. Everyone had a great time and we got some amazing images of Kiomi + Olivia plus lots of family and friends! Thanks for having us be part of your special day.

{mirna + brian | engagement | malibu}

I love this couple and their engagement session! Mirna and Brian were so fun and sweet and the lighting in the field was just perfect. What a wonderful combo! I love Mirna's spunky attitude and her love for Brian just shines through as you can see. Brian is pretty awesome as well and they are a perfect match for each other! We had lots of adventures with this session, we got to see deer and what at first looked like sacrificial cult meeting (turned out to be a reenactment of something, but had us worried for a min, lol). No worries the deer were just fine! Needless to say we got some amazing images and had a blast! You two are just gorgeous and Aldo and I had a fantastic time with you guys and can't wait to get together again....soon! Plus can't wait for the big day, it is going to be amazing!
