Zany and Ung’s Engagement Session

Zany and Ung–the couple of the century. I would have said couple of the decade, but they’ve been together for longer than that! This engagement sesh took place in Malibu Creek State Park, and thanks to the recent rains it was absolutely beautiful. Lush green grasslands, lively trees, and flowers that would make laker fans squeal (purple and yellow everywhere.) Having a lovely couple like this to photograph made things spring up just a little more. If you ever want to hike here, I highly recommend it–and if you ever want to have a beautiful, nature inspired, love-is-in-the-air photo shoot, I highly recommend that too. Get your picnic quilts out while you enjoy some snaps from this incredible shoot!

Marie + Josh Wedding

You know the saying “haste makes waste?” Well let’s just say that for Marie and Josh, haste makes for a ridiculously cute and cozy backyard wedding. With just two days of planning (two days!), they were able to have decor, delicious home-made food (Jewish food may be my new favorite food) and loved ones come together for a heart-warming ceremony. In the short time I got to know Marie and Josh, I learned that they were very easy-going, spontaneous people. That, combined with extreme gratitude for everything and everyone, Marie and Josh reminded me that taking leaps of faith don’t have to be that scary. It can actually lead to moments that change your life, fill your heart with love—take your breath away. I’m so happy to have shared and captured their special day with them, and wish them all the happiness in the world!

Check out their intimate backyard-beach wedding, and remember, “Just bee yourself!”

Ashlea’s Bridal Shower

TIFFANY’S.

Now that I have your attention, let me explain to you how incredible Ashlea’s bridal shower was. Amber, the Maid of Honor contacted me asking if I could possibly shoot this event for her. When she told me about the theme, how could I resist? From the miniature Tiffany-style wrapped boxes, to the Breakfast At Tiffany’s attire, the party lived up and exceeded the hype! Amber modestly stated that she’s not very crafty at DIY stuff, but you can see from all of the below—that’s not true at all.

With a lively bunch of photobombers, a heart-warming speech, a home-made photo booth, and awesome games (pass the bouquet and my favorite of the evening, draw the groom!), I’m just so lucky to have been a part of it all. Except for that one part when they announced that I was the male stripper. #awkward.

Get your black outfit and pearls out as you take a look at this fabulous bridal shower!
