Denise and Scott – Couple Photography Laguna Beach

 

Denise and Scott were on their honeymoon. They had gotten married the day before in Utah. Their shoot is all about romance. I met them in Laguna Beach and my first stop was at one of my favorite doors. Can’t beat having a couple kiss under a sign “Always kiss me Goodnight”. When I had enough photos of them kissing, I had to ask a couple of times for them to stop kissing. They were so in to each other. It was very sweet.They were very excited with the high tide and stunned by the beauty of the beach I picked. There was very few people at this beach and it was perfect weather, too.

My Brother Tobin and his lovely girlfriend, Kirsten

Nice to see my brother, Tobin and his girlfriend, Kirsten who are visiting from Oregon. Tobin is here to promote his new book, Everyday Meditation (by Tobin Blake), please visit his website to learn more about this great book, http://www.tobinblake.com/. I was fortunate to go to a book signing and a meditation class led by Tobin. A proud sister! 

I decided to do a photo shoot of both Tobin and Kirsten. It was a quick shoot in an alley not too far from my home about 30 minutes before the sunset. 

Tobin is using the above photo on his website. Love this alley for its gorgeous trees.The above is one of my favorite images. I told them to hug each like they would never see each other again.
Gorgeous eyes!!

Magical Weddings – Orange County Wedding Photography

 

I had the most amazing workshop with Rick Ferro, a legend in wedding photography. He created the wedding department @ Disney World. An entire day spent with Rick was like a dream come true. We had models dressed in gorgeous gowns, hair and makeup beautifully done. I learned so much about lighting and posing. How hand placement properly done can really enhanced an image. It was such an inspirational day for me. Here are some of my favorite photos that I took.

These photos were taken inSanta Ana at City Place. So many great back drops to inspire us. It was a perfect over-cast day creating soft diffused light with only a silver reflector to bounce light on our bride’s face. Love the red and white contrast.

Myra and Tom’s Engagement!

Last month, I had a very romantic engagement shoot with Myra and Tom during the eclipse which was really cool to experience together. 

We did their engagement shoot at Malaga Plaza as it had sentimental meaning to them. This is where they go every Sunday for coffee at the Yellow Vase. I love capturing their ritual of coffee drinking together. 

Malaga Plaza was built in the 1920’s. At the center of the historical plaza is the King Neptune Fountain which is a copy of a famous statue in Bologna Italy. I was excited when I went with Myra, the week before their shoot, and saw the romantic backdrops with the beautiful architecture of archways and alcoves. A photographer’s dream for an engagement shoot!!

 Such a fun couple to photograph. Myra and Tom had some great expressions. 

After seeing this cute sign with the stems, I planned out this series of photos using the bouquet of stems!!!
