Kristen and Corey's Wedding at Rancho Las Lomas

I've been looking forward to Kristen and Corey's wedding for some time because I knew they were going to be loads of fun after the first time I met them. They had picked a fabulous place for their wedding ceremony and reception - at Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado, CA.  Here are just a few favorites, but I'll have their highlights slideshow up soon.

Here's a few shots taken with my newest lens - the Lensbaby Composer.  I love how it keeps a small sweet spot while it dramatically distorts and blurs the rest of the composition.

Can't forget certain essentials!  And they made it look so good...







I truly enjoyed meeting her lovely bridesmaids and they all made great models.  I love hams!

Wendy and Orion's Wedding at The Mission Inn

I absolutely love being at the Mission Inn!  Wendy and Orion couldn't have picked a more picturesque setting for their wedding and reception.  The Mission Inn offers so much as a wedding venue: gorgeous architectural backdrops, inspiring views from the rooftop, and an old world ambiance inside the hotel.





I met up with Wendy at Manhattans of Riverside (hair and makeup salon) while she was still getting ready and she looked amazing!


I had planned Wendy and Orion's rendezvous at the Mission Inn's famous rotunda so we can do an intimate photo session with them.  The advantage of this was that we were able to get some truly romantic images of them during their first meeting prior to the ceremony.  During this time they also get the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed moment together before the day's schedule began.

The Ciucur Family Portraits in La Mirada

Once in a blue moon I'll do a family portrait session - for a very special family like the Ciucurs.  I first met everyone during Corinna and Cristian's wedding last year and so it was a joy to see familiar faces.  We met up at Creek Park Park in La Mirada for their photo shoot and it turned out to be so much fun! 

I think the adults enjoyed throwing the leaves more than the kids!
