Not only did I get to shoot Danielle’s wedding, I also got to design her dress! This was my first time shooting one of my dresses. They were married at Strawberry Farms Golf Club in Irvine. It was the perfect day!!
Danielle is a very unique bride…she started off her look with dramatic makeup…LOVE it!!
….and a sweet vintage hairstyle!!
Her and her bridesmaid like to do the “I love Lucy” grape stomping…
I love how Danielle can go from nutty to glam in the blink of an eye!!
I can see where she gets it, as her mom gives her some pre-wedding advise!!
….and then share a tender moment.
Love the decor!!
James and his guys crack up about something!!
I love his face as he sees her coming out with her dad….
I can see why…
James and his proud mom.
The guys had all mixed up socks!!
Sweet, red shoes too!!
She seems pretty excited about whatever he’s telling her!!
I loved watching these two together….they are so well matched….real soul mates!!
I love these of Danielle and her dad too!!
Her brother is quite the dancer!!
They have quite the moves!!
Danielle & James…I had a great time at your wedding!! I just know you will have a great marriage!!

Erin booked me through my husband, Jim, and we later figured out that she and I had gone to High School together!! What a small world!! We had a great day shooting at one of my favorite places, Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club!! She got her dress from Mon Amie
This is so cute of Erin and the ring bearer!!
I love how her mom is looking at her!!
Check out these cute twins that came down the aisle!!
Her and her dad before they came down the aisle!!
This is such a pretty ceremony site!!
I snuck this shot right after the ceremony…I love how happy they look!!
This is my favorite!!

We got a big cheer from the crowd that had gathered on the pier for this trick!!
Sheesh!! Get a room!!!
I think I can actually see steam coming off of them!! They are so hot!!
Thanks so much you two!! It was fun!! Thanks for protecting me from the “angry man”, Ryan!

Gina & Mike met and live in Hermosa Beach, so what better place to do their engagement session, than the Hermosa Pier!? They brought their bikes and boards, ready to have a ball!!

These two decided to bring along their “Baby”, Monte, along to get a family portrait too!! Gotta love his collar & tie!!
A kiss for daddy!!
I kept making silly noises, and I loved the head tilts Monte kept giving me!! We were all cracking up!!
This is my favorite!!
