I want to thank the wonderful ladies over at Junebug Weddings for doing a feature on Melissa & Scott’s Los Angeles Couples Shoot. I love that Melissa & Scott decided to add a unique twist to their engagement session by getting fully decked out in their wedding attire. It was such a fun shoot, and a great precursor to their Malibu Wedding at the lovely Adamson House Estate!

I feel so honored that two of my images were featured in Junebug Wedding’s “The Best of the Best 2010: The Best Wedding Photos of the Year.” I’m humbled to be included with such an AMAZING group of artists from all over the world. Here’s what the wonderful ladies at Junebug had to say about this year’s selection process: “The process of choosing 50 images from the thousands and thousands we received from all over the world was difficult and delightful to say the least. We were inspired, astounded and humbled by the artistry of the wedding photographers who submitted their work, and so grateful to all of them for taking the time to share their work with us.” Thank you so much Junebug! xox

If you’re planning a barn wedding, and you want a rustic feel, Ojai Valley Inn is one of Southern California’s hidden gems. I’ve shot their a few times, and absolutely love the location! Here’s a little sneak peek from a celebrity wedding I shot there. Thanks again to Jill LaFleur for planning this gorgeous wedding, and mentioning it as one of her favorites for a recent Junebug Weddings Feature.

When I have clients tell me they don’t like getting their picture taken…I REALLY get it!! I’m soooo much more comfortable creating the art than being the subject of it. Here’s a little secret, ONLY use a photographer that you feel super comfortable around! When David and I talked about getting some pictures taken on our 13th wedding anniversary, I knew Jillian Bisinger was that girl for me! Jill is a good friend of ours, and a super talented artist. It’s a good experience for every photographer to get on the other side of the camera. It really shows you how important it is to have that trust with each other in order to get the intimate, vulnerable shots. I am a strong believer that every couple, at every age, should take time out in their relationship to document their love.  When I look through the pictures from this shoot, it makes me so grateful that 13 years ago I said “I do” to the most incredible man I’ve ever met. Jill, thanks for the AMAZING pics. To see more, be sure to check out the feature posted by the wonderful ladies over at Junebug Weddings!

my super fly, super fine hubby!!

I love this behind the scenes shot! Climbing a mountain of trash and rubble to get to the perfect spot. That's what it's all about ladies & gentlemen...light and texture:)

A big thanks to Kirsten Pate for doing my hair & make-up, and Kerry Woodard for styling us. You both did an awesome job!!

A big thanks to the wonderful ladies at Junebug Weddings for featuring this image of the GORGEOUS, Candace, in today’s Phenomenal Photography post! Candace and her hubby, Dustin, are two of my biggest cheerleaders  (and now friends), who’ve sent tons of work my way since I did their summer wedding at Spanish Hills Country Club. I’m so glad they picked this image! Be sure to check out the post. There are some great pics from some of my favorite photographers! Thanks Junebug!

We received word this week that we made it into the Junebug Weddings Best from the Best 2009 Fashion Report! Here is what the wonderful ladies at Junebug (Blair, Kim & Christy) had to say about the report:

“Happy New Year everyone! We are very, very excited to say that today we are welcoming in 2010 with the launch of our annual Best from the Best Fashion Report! A look back at the best wedding images of 2009 from the world’s leading wedding photographers! With thousands of images submitted to us by hundreds of photographers across the globe, Blair, Kim and I were in heaven editing them down to what we considered the best of the best- the images that blew our minds, made us gasp and tear up and grin from ear to ear at the same time, and quite simply, made us love photography even more than we already do. We salute every one of the hard working photographers out there who sent in their images for consideration. It has been an honor to see such stellar creative work, and we sincerely hope that all of you, our readers, are as moved by 2009′s Best from the Best as we have been.”

I want to give a big shout out of thanks Christy Weber, and the fabulous ladies at Junebug Weddings for today’s feature on ‘What Junebug Loves.’ I’m so glad they chose to feature Mike & Debra Davis, a Los Angeles wedding from last year, and two of my favorite people in the whole world! I always wondered if I was the only one who thought Mike’s boutonniere was OFF THE CHARTS amazing! I guess there are others out there who think so too! Thanks again, Junebug!
