From the moment I met Serena & Rob, I knew their wedding was going to be SO much fun and completely unique! These two are both so kind hearted, thoughtful and HILARIOUS…they really are a perfect compliment to one another. They had the best approach to their wedding- super organized, but never loosing sight of the celebration and joy that was at the center of it all. And when things didn’t go just exactly as planned (something ALL weddings experience), these two just rolled with it, enjoyed each other and cherished their time together. Their ceremony and reception was at the celebrity favorite and historic Beverly Hills Hotel. It was an amazing and emotional day, and I’m so grateful to have been there to capture their awesome love! Congratulations Serena & Rob….wishing you a lifetime of love and laughter together!! xo

This wedding season has been so AMAZING thanks largely to incredible couples like Mariana & Chris. From our first meeting with Mariana and her twin, I mean mother, I fell in love with this family!! Then I met Chris when we spent the afternoon together for their Los Angeles engagement shoot, and I knew I was in for a fantastic wedding day!! These two have such an incredibly sweet connection with each other that happens to make my job super easy. Mariana & Chris had a beautiful Greek Orthodox ceremony at Saint Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral, followed by a gorgeous reception at the California Club in Downtown Los Angeles. It was elegant, sophisticated and SO MUCH FUN!  Thank you Mariana and Chris for allowing me to play a very small part in such an amazing day! xox

I first met Estineh three years ago when I photographed her sister Sevana’s wedding. Estineh actually discovered us online, and told her sister about us before she was even engaged! I just love this family, and I’m so excited to be a part of Estineh & Matt’s September wedding at the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs! I had so much fun with these two during our engagement shoot at the Standard Hotel, and exploring the city near their Downtown Los Angeles loft. Here are a few of my favorites of this beautiful couple!

I love it when great friends, great families and all around good people come together to celebrate a couple’s love. That’s what happened at Mariana & Chris’ recent Los Angeles wedding.

My very first meeting with Hope was over a nice glass of red wine together via Skype, Hope in Australia and me here in the States. From the first time we chatted thousands of miles apart, I knew this wedding was going to be special. Hope & Nick had a beautiful ceremony at Saint Martin Catholic Church in Brentwood, California followed by an elegant, super fun reception at Casa del Mar in Santa Monica.  They were surrounded by such incredible family and friends many who had traveled from Australia to support this beautiful couple. I loved how close they were with their families…Hope’s sister walked her down the aisle. And she carried her father’s rosary to keep him close. Hope & Nick, thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing day!  I can’t wait to come to Australia…and maybe photograph a little Aussie baby:)

A big thank you to Terri Castillo of Bellisimo Events for doing such a wonderful job planning & coordinating this very special day!

Sometimes I have clients who live their life in the public eye and want to keep their wedding images private.  With high profile clients I am grateful when I can at least share some of the beautiful details of their wedding. This lovely couple, who will remain anonymous, flew in from New York City for an intimate affair among just family & close friends at the famous Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood. It was an amazing day filled with love, laughter, incredible music and beautiful Jewish traditions, as these two committed their lives to each other. Here’s a few of my favorites…that I can share:)

From the first time I met Brooke and Damian, I knew that I was going to LOVE working with them!  It is always an amazing and intense experience for me when a couple lets down their guard and completely trusts me to capture their most intimate moments…it’s authentic and beautiful, and so fulfilling for me as an artist. I’m crazy about these two, and can’t wait to share their gorgeous Gainey Vineyard Wedding in Santa Ynez! I know it’s going to be spectacular! Brooke & Damian, it was so great spending the day with you in Santa Barbara, and can’t wait to do it again!…xo…joy
