Priscilla & Jason

Priscilla & Jason were married in one of my favorite chapels - The Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes. It is known as "The Glass Church". Their reception took place at the Oviatt Penthouse which is a beautiful art deco landmark in Downtown Los Angeles.

Jody & Jimmy - Camarillo Ranch House

Giselle & Nathan - Pierpont Inn, Ventura

Angel & Tony

Angel & Tony were so laid back and relaxed, which made this a very "zen" wedding! No wonder, Angel is a yoga teacher. She has such a inner and outer beauty. Tony was very sweet and quite funny!

Strathearn Historical Park

The Strathearn Historical Park is a hidden gem in Simi Valley. It is one of my favorite wedding locations. It is quite rustic with an old barn.

There are several locations in the park to have the ceremony. Shirley and Daniel decided to get married under the Pepper Tree and their reception was held in the barn.

Gorgeous in Green

I recently teamed up with event planners Chabeli and Laurel of "P.S.& Associates Event Planning" (818.644.9701) to shoot the wedding of Heather & Sean. These two ladies are truly the ultimate professionals. They are extremely passionate about what they do and it shows. Their attention to details is impeccable. The bride wore a unique green dress (selected by Laurel). 

Stephanie & Brian's New Years Day Wedding

Denice & Jeremy Engagement Session - Gardens of the World

Denice & Jeremy mentioned to me that their engagement shoot totally distressed them as the location  (Gardens of the World) was so beautiful and calming. I love to shoot engagement sessions at Gardens of the World for that exact reason. We are totally surrounded by amazing flowers, trees and plants which truly help to de-stress the mind, body and soul. 

Jennifer & Julian's Engagement Session

I met Jennifer & Julian in Pasadena for the engagement shoot. Pasadena is a great location for"urban" engagement shoots as there are numerous interesting spots with various textures and backgrounds. We did encounter a security guard who told us we were not permitted to shoot because we were on private property! Who knew an outdoor shopping mall was not considered a public place! 

A Serene Wedding

On Valentine's day, I shot a wedding of two very special soles - Prudence & Jeff. They flew into LA from Seattle to unite as one in a sacred ceremony at the Lake Shrine Temple in  Pacific Palisades  (www.lakeshrine.org ).

The Lake Shrine Temple is surrounded by serene gardens and is a spiritual sanctuary.

The ceremony is considered extremely sacred and thus I was not permitted to photograph the two of them performing their vows. However afterward, we walked the gardens where I captured the essence and calmness of the surroundings.
