Amanda & John's Wedding

John and Amanda tied the knot at the picturesque Rancho Capistrano in San Juan Capistrano. I've known John since I started photographing at age 10, and I'm thankful he decided to hire me 13 years later! Amanda chose Dalise Lindsay Events to create a vibrant, yet elegant ambiance using a green, orange, and red palatte. Enjoy the images of this ridiculously photogenic couple!

It's so important to have enough photography time before the ceremony to capture the bride while her makeup is fresh and the gown is in perfect condition.

Can't ignore the animals, they're important too!

This candid image of Amanda was shot by my second photographer, Hannah.

One of my favorites. Flower girls don't always make it to the end of the aisle!

Dalise Lindsay Events created an amazing ambiance with the orange/green color scheme. She really amazed me with how organized and personable she was. She dealt with the stress of the day with such poise, which is not always the case with wedding planners; I was impressed!I brought Amanda and John over to this arch right before I left and captured this awesome image. I love how lighting can totally change the mood of a photograph.

Amy's Maternity Session

Almost 5 years ago, I photographed Amy and Mike's wedding at a gorgeous estate in the hills of Orange. Now they are expecting their first child- a baby girl! Amy's belly was nice and round, and she was the calmest pregant woman I've ever worked with. This shoot was especially fun because Amy was really involved in choosing props (love that red boa!) and coordinating her outfits. I still have a few red feathers in my studio :) Thank you Amy and Mike for being such loyal clients, and congratulations on your new bundle of love.

Erin & Dave's Engagement Session

When I first met Erin and Dave, I had a feeling they were looking for something a little different than the typical beach engagement session. Erin suggested the Los Angeles Central Library, which turned out to be an incredible location for photos. This location in downtown LA definitely reflects the couples' young, fashionable vibe.
