I've known Heather since she was little girl! In fact, I went to my senior prom with her older brother! When I found out she was engaged it really put into perspective how old I'm getting, lol! I'm super happy for her and Sean and I'm even happier that I get to be their wedding photographer!
I shot this session in old town Chino, home to both Heather + Sean, back at my old stomping grounds...yes, I grew up in Chino Hills! Who knew this part of Chino could photograph so well?
My Beautiful Life said:
The Sky Jump shot, and the train track with the sunset behind them-those are fantastic. They all are, those are just my faves. Oh, and ditto to the getting old thing. When one of my little sister's friends got engaged, I couldn't believe it since she has always been that little kid that hung out with my sister. :)

Ever since Justin and I shot this AMAZING wedding in Palm Springs a few weeks ago at the Viceroy Hotel, I've been itching to show it off! Sarah + Gabe are rockstars! Every detail of their wedding was gorgeously planned. I especially took a liking to their color scheme of pale pink, hot pink, yellow, dark grey, and black! LOVED IT!
Sarah & Gabe allotted enough time for us to venture out into the desert for some portrait time.
Justin and I heart Sarah + Gabe!
