Griffith Park Engagement Session : Shahna + Ryan

Posted on by
1

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!  I’m waiting until tomorrow to celebrate, mostly because someone has to help CVS clear out the discounted candy boxes.

Now onto the gooey love stuff:

Any wedding photographer would want to work with a couple like Shahna and Ryan.  They are laid back, fun, and up for anything — even when that “anything” involves climbing uphill in nice clothes.

So maybe I should rephrase: Couples beware, as I might literally make you climb mountains for the perfect shot.

When I first met Shahna, we talked about what she and Ryan liked to do together.  She mentioned wanting to take her engagement photos somewhere in nature, specifically a woodsy area since they love to go camping.  The first place that came to mind was the small but scenic Cedar Grove in Griffith Park.  We also decided to go to Ferndell Nature Trail, where I shot the Moonrise Kingdom shoot.

We had a great time (and a great workout!).  Congrats you two, I can’t wait for the wedding in August!

PS that amazing Save the Date plaque was handmade by the lovely and talented Julia Wester.

Topanga Canyon Elopement: Erika + Rich

I’m so excited to share Erika and Rich’s wedding with you!

When I arrived in the morning, Erika was playing jazz music which set a tone for the entire day.  I felt like I stepped into another era, classic old Hollywood.  I think you’ll agree that every detail matched the vintage feel of the whole day.  E+R even rented a classic Oldsmobile, which gave the day added touch.

The intimate ceremony took place in Topanga Canyon with 13 of their close friends and family.  Afterwards, we took the opportunity to take the car for a joy ride along scenic Mulholland Drive.  The reception took place in E+R’s backyard, where we all enjoyed a yummy meal, topped off with polaroids, laughing, and one very memorable serenade of Hold On by Wilson Philips.

All the decor was designed and hand made by talented textile guru Star Grieve.

The perfectly adorable illustration of E+R and Erika’s bouquet was handmade by Selina Sanders.

Congratulations, you two!  Thank you for letting me capture this perfect day.

Better late than never, eh?

You guys, this past month has been so busy.  My head might explode, but in a good way (is that possible?).  This week alone, I  have both a wedding AND another engagement shoot to post, so prepare yourself for some Valentine’s Day eye candy.

Speaking of Valentine’s Day, this Friday is my anniversary with my boyfriend, Anthony.  We have been together 4 years now.  We’ve shared so many adventures together, some really amazing memories, parties, vacations, and nights out, as well as weathered extremely difficult times like losses of friends and family and jobs.  But we have survived both the good and bad together, which has helped so much.  Some days I honestly don’t know what I’d do without him (probably be living in my mom’s basement, crying myself to sleep every night to a bottle of wine and Tori Amos).

So in celebration of my wonderful boyf, this month’s 10 on 10 features our recent trip to Joshua Tree National Park in California and Sedona, AZ.

Happy anniversary, Anthony. I’m so grateful to have you in my life, a constant force of love, support, and encouragement.  You’re my very best friend.
