spanish hills country club wedding by joy marie | kelly + lowell

Kelly & Lowell’s Spanish Hills Country Club Wedding was definitely one for the memory books! It was a beautiful fairy tale wedding, complete with Kelly’s grand entrance via horse & carriage, and her “Marine in Shining Armour” awaiting his GORGEOUS bride! INCREDIBLE!! I’d been eagerly looking forward to this day since I connected with Kelly & Lowell a couple of months back for their Downtown Los Angeles Engagement Session. From the first time we met, I could tell these two really had a spark for each other, as well as a spark for life; Lowell serving his country as a Marine & Officer, and Kelly doing volunteer work in third world countries. These two are just all around great people! Both come from kind & generous families, and that made the day all the more special! Congratulations, Kelly & Lowell, and thanks for having me be a part of such a wonderful occasion! I’m so excited for our “Day After Session!”

downtown los angeles engagement shoot…kelly + lowell

Since Kelly first met Lowell in uniform, we thought it would be fun to do some of their Los Angeles engagement session with Lowell suited up in his Marine Corp Blues.  These two are incredible people! Lowell serves our state & nation, and Kelly is an RN who has done some unbelievable volunteer work in third world countries.  Super excited for a fabulous Camarillo Wedding later this summer!!

los angeles engagement shoot…melorie + art

I’ve been looking forward to my time with Melorie & Art every since we first met for dinner a couple of months ago! These two are FABULOUS! Spending a couple of hours with them for their Los Angeles engagement session just made me that much more excited for their July wedding at the GORGEOUS Reach Resort in Key West, Florida. From what I’ve heard so far about their wedding plans, this is going to be one AMAZING wedding day! I can’t wait to share it with you! Here are a few of my faves from our e-session…

downtown los angeles engagement shoot…selina + juan

I was so happy when this day finally arrived! I say that because it’s been nearly 18 months since I first met Selina, and we began discussing her May 2009 wedding plans. We’ve been anxiously counting the days (or should I say months) for a loooong time.  These two high school sweethearts are just so ADORABLE together, and it was really nice to spend time with them shooting their engagement session. It just makes me that much more excited for their Ventura County Wedding in just two short months!! Here are a few of my favorites from the e-session…

los angeles wedding @ st. charles borromeo & cicada | vicki + paul

I completely adore Vicki & Paul!! I was so looking forward to this day after spending time with them on thier Venice engagement shoot. They really are two of the most genuine & kindhearted people, and as a couple you just can’t help but love them! A gorgeous sunny day, a beautiful ceremony at St. Charles Borromeo, and an incredible reception at the Cicada in Dowtown Los Angeles. Vicki & Paul decided to see each other before the ceremony, so we had time to hit the Disney Concert Hall, and the elegant Oviatt Penthouse for some couples stuff; my favorite!!  It couldn’t have been a more perfect way to end the year! I had such a hard time narrowing down my favorites, but alas….
