{ Kelsey + Jake } Married! Part One

06.28.10

Kelsey + Jake got hitched at the San Diego Botanic Gardens back in May. And with my new found joy for gardening, I couldn't have been more excited to be photographing their antique garden themed soiree. Their wedding was just charming in every detail, as you'll see from my inability to narrow it down to just a few photos.

Their wedding has already been featured on LA Style Unveiled. Thanks to Heather at Style Unveiled for putting together that lovely feature!

I simply loved how comfortable these two were on their wedding day. They didn't seem nervous at all! They were in their own. They were in the moment. And it just reminded me of what weddings are really all about.

Look at all the lovely people who contributed to making this day absolutely amazing! I love these ladies so much! They are all so very talented!

Coordinator: Lindye Galloway
Makeup: Jordan Nemer
Hair: Tiffanie Cross
Florist: Mandy Haak and Liv McMillan

Her ring is an absolute stunner with a gold band and champagne-colored diamond!!! I'm so in love with the combination!

Austin saw this sign somewhere and photographed it. "In the wood, we return to reason and faith." I just thought it was so fitting for their day!

{ Jennifer + Edgar }

04.28.10

Serena Grace invited a few of us to shoot an after session with { Jennifer + Edgar }. I always have fun working with Serena and this was no exception! During the shoot, I finally got to meet Connie and Alice! It was great fun meeting everyone but of course Happy Hour after a shoot is the happiest hour of the day!!!

Jen and Edgar were so kind and sweet to work with. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that she was wearing a Jim Hjelm dress. Their dresses always have stunning detail work!!! I'm such a sucker for pretty dresses and I sure love photographing them!

Thanks to Genie of Petit Plume for the gorgeous headpieces featured below, and also to Euri of Fleuretica who also did the flowers for my wedding!!

{ Weddingbee } Mrs. Beagle

04.04.10

We knew Mrs. Beagle for all of 15 minutes before we shot these photos of her, but we quickly fell in love with her sweet southern charm. That would have been enough for us to enjoy spending the afternoon taking pictures of her. She mentioned that she had never really had her makeup/hair done professionally, nor "modeled" for photos. But boy was she a natural in front of the camera! She's seriously so stunning with those captivating brown eyes.. Lucky you, Mr. Beagle!

Also, check out those fierce red heels. FIERCE!
