10 on 10 Collaboration Project, Post 18

So, I was going to have a TOTALLY different post because I went to MAGIC CASTLE last night, but they unfortunately don’t allow photography inside the castle. It’s super top secret and totally exclusive and important and fun and I’m really sad I couldn’t take photos.

But worry not! I have some cute baby photos to make up for it.

Meet Katherine. I met her last month when she was less than a week old! She is the newest addition to the beautiful Goodwin family and she is settling in quite well. And, of course, Vivienne is as cute as ever!

Congrats, Goodwins!

Joshua Tree Wedding : Kirk + Nikka

Wow. What a way to end my wedding season.

Kirk and Nikka’s wedding does not need much of an introduction. Their love for each other is so apparent that it radiates from the pictures. These two had been together for ten years— they met while moving into their freshman dorm!

Nikka planned this day down to the T, which you can see in every detail included below. It’s amazing how much work went into this day. I had a really hard time narrowing down these pictures, which I was able to capture alongside my super talented boyfriend turned second shooter. I will definitely be employing him again because he did a great job and I really loved bossing him around.

Congratulations, Kirk and Nikka!

10 on 10 Collaboration Project, Post 17

November!

My cousin, Jessica, came into town last weekend with her boyfriend, Nick. Neither of them had ever been to LA before this, and they were only here for about 24 hours. I took them to some of my favorite LA staples, like the Santa Monica Pier, Amoeba Records, and the ultimate LA spot: the Griffith Observatory.

The Observatory for me epitomizes the best mix of the city: history, culture, and an amazing view. I love the Observatory– I love that you can spot it pretty much anywhere you are in the city. I love how you can always have a moment of solitude when you take in the view there, even when there are a ton of people there. I also love knowing how much I weigh on every planet. Science.

So, this month’s post focuses on my favorite LA landmark: the Griffith Observatory.

Santa Barbara’s Historic Courthouse Wedding : Amanda + Charley

Wow. That’s the only word that I could think of when I first walked into the Santa Barbara Courthouse. When Amanda and Charley asked me to photograph their wedding, I certainly was not expecting a courthouse to be this insanely beautiful. From the intricate tile to the ironwork to the breathtaking Mural Room where they had their ceremony, it was like a candy land as a photographer. There were too many beautiful places for photos in one building.

I also could not have been any luckier to have met these two. Their friends and family were so warm and welcoming, and I instantly felt comfortable shooting them. And not only were A+C a gorgeous couple, but Charley at one point came up to me and said, “I trust you, just do your thing.” Having creative freedom like that just added to how much fun I had photographing this day, and allowed me to create some images that I’m really happy with.

The reception was held later that evening at The Lark restaurant, where everyone celebrated over shared family-style courses, and danced well into the night.

Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer, Amanda and Charley! I wish you both all the happiness in the world.

Walnut Grove Wedding in Moorpark | Shahna and Ryan | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer

Shahna and Ryan got married at this beautiful venue in Moorpark, and I was so happy to be there to photograph it. I’m pretty sure this day had one of the most epic sunsets of all time — and I don’t use the term “epic” lightly. The day went so smoothly, and I honestly have never had so much fun at a reception as I did that night. It was dance-off after dance-off, this group really knew how to party!

Special thanks to my wonderful second photographer Sara Panman who captured all the moments I missed– I am so grateful I had her talents there with me! All the little details came so perfectly together thanks to the styling talents of Julia Sir Wester (also the talented stylist for Oh Joy!). And of course, it all wouldn’t have gone so smoothly without the help of Mia Bella Weddings.

Thank you Shahna and Ryan for letting me be such a big part of your day!

10 on 10 Collaboration Project, Post 16

It’s October and everyone I know is having babies.

February must be a really boring and/or utterly romantic month because I swear 95% of the women in my life got pregnant within the same time this past year and they are all due within a month of each other.

This month I’m featuring photos that I took in South Carolina of my dear friend Chandler and her husband Ben, who are expecting their first child together in just a few short weeks. Chandler was one of the very first people  I met when I got to college, at Freshman orientation. And thank god, because she is also one of the best people I have ever met, of all time, ever.

I also feel like I should mention that she was seven months pregnant in these photos and the size of her “baby bump” is about the size of my belly after a large meal. I’d be mad about it, but this girl holds a huge space in my heart, so I guess I can forgive her this once.

I cannot wait to meet this amazing baby girl. I might have to fly across the country just to hold her when she arrives. Sending so much love to you both.

Somehow it’s September already and it’s so hot in LA I’m literally sweating just from sitting at my desk. So, in an attempt not to move too much, here’s this month’s 10-on-10 which features some new people I met last month– Erika and Rich‘s new babies Eloise and Berenger!

Eloise and Berenger Breitengross were born on August 10th, 2014. I met the twins when they were only 6 days old. I can’t even begin to describe how tiny and perfect they are. The photos can’t do it justice. If you ever get the chance to hold newborn twins at the same time, I highly recommend it. It’s terrifying, exhilarating, and wonderful all rolled into one amazing feeling.

Happy 1 month, E+B. You two are the bomb.

10 on 10 Collaboration Project, Post 14

Anthony and I went to one of many ghost towns in California yesterday, and I thought it would be perfect for this month’s 10-on-10. Mentryville was established when settlers struck oil there in the late 1800s. The last person to live in the town was the sole caretaker who was forced out after damage caused by the Northridge earthquake.

What is left now is a somewhat creepy, abandoned old-west style town with a very cool hike into the surrounding mountains, where an old boy scout camp called Johnson Park sits. I would love to do an engagement shoot here– who’s in?

Breakfast at the Ace Hotel with the Goodwin Family!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Today, I’m sharing some photos from a few weeks ago when I had breakfast with Them Goodwins at the Ace Hotel in DTLA. This is my third time photographing this gorgeous family (and another baby girl on the way in November!) and I love seeing how much Vivienne has grown since the first time I met them.

Congrats on the newest addition, Elsie and Bobby! I can’t wait to take some maternity photos in a couple months!

Los Angeles Old Hollywood Wedding: Ashley + Bryan

Way back when Bryan and Ashley asked me to photograph their wedding, I already knew they were a cool couple (their engagement photos were taken in a tattoo parlor, after all). So I was really excited to photograph them in general because it gave me excuses to hang out with them.

But, I was really excited for their wedding day. First, the ceremony was sure to be as sweet as they are as a couple (sweet as in both the nice way and the dude! sweet! kind of way). Second, it was at a venue I had known about for a long time, but had never had the opportunity to see in person. A lot of photographers have shot the outside of it, but few get to photograph the inside of it. That’s because this venue was Katy Perry’s old house when she was married to Russell Brand, and now it is Bryan and Ashley’s friend Kendra’s house. Third, they were doing a sparkler send off.

So here are some photos from the day I shot Bryan and Ashley’s wedding at this gorgeous old Hollywood McMansion, on the longest day of the year, surrounded by some of the nicest group of people, celebrating. This must be how all those Disney Princesses feel like every day.
