Shirley + Sam are beautiful together, enough said! Plus, they got married at one of my favorite venues in Sierra Madre called the Villa Del Sol d'Oro (you'll see why when you spot the raddest tree I've ever laid eyes on). August 21st, 2010 was a sweet day!
I was super excited to have Angie Sloan second shoot for me, she rocked it! Here's one of her shots on the left, along with the next image below. Thanks Ang!

Sam took it upon himself to make sure Shirley had her "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue". Look what he gave her for her "something blue", lol!
Notice the box in Sam's hands....
....here's what Sam gave Shirley for her "something new"...love me some diamond tear-shaped earrings!
Behold...the raddest tree I've ever seen! This would be my favorite item of the day!

Shirley said:
we LOVE the photos, Amelia!! THANK YOU!! and angie, thank you for rocking it out with amelia. the shot of sam standing on the toilet is by far one of my favs from the day. you braved the heat, did your thing AND had a smile on your face the whole time. thank you :)
@Hilary - i got the dress at a small boutique in Pasadena called "The Ivory Suite." I think the designer is Tamara... but I can be wrong. sorry i can't be more help!

Um. Yes. I'm glad I don't have to type out every thought that went through my brains as I was looking through this wedding post... it went something like this: "Oh god...GAWD!! That shot! Dang. Oh ooh! Wow! I need to do something like that... How do they think outside the box like this? Hmmm... Must take a different kind of brain.. OOH! PRETTINESS!" etc. I'm embarrassed for myself. PS killer wedding. :)

Lauryn + Jimmy were married on August 14th, 2010. The day started off at one of my favorite hotels in LA called the SLS Hotel! I had the talented Denise Bovee by my side as a second shooter and Nick Radford as an assistant that day. Lauryn + Jimmy's wedding was full of so much eye candy that I almost had a creative overload. That's definitely a GOOD problem to have!
....and of course, what would a wedding blog post be without an online slideshow?! Click here to see it!

the black and white looking down the hallway at the bride (after your favorite, which is ridiculous as well - in a good way) is so full of moment, full of anticipation, full of energy. so unique and gorgeous.

I shot Judy + Anthony's engagement session locally. I thought it was sweet how they wanted to have their little dog included in some shots, and what a ham their little dog was!:) Congrats on the upcoming wedding Judy + Anthony!

Melissa + Eddie....happy sighhhhhhh, what a good looking couple!!! They were married on July 31st. On top of enjoying the personality and beauty of Melissa + Eddie together, I adored the details, colors & vendors of this day!
Since Justin was away, busy producing his first feature film Ben Banks, I was graced by the presence of Erin from He And She Photography as my second shooter and Jen from Jen Lauren Grant Photography as my assistant.
I absolutely LOVED the way Nicole DeAnne did Melissa's hair & make-up!
My Favorite shot of the day! Melissa & Eddie held their reception at the Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach, so of course we utilized the surroundings!
My favorite item of the day...the family tree! Thank you to Jesi Haack and crew for coordinating the day so well!
Since Melissa + Eddie met while salsa dancing, they had a dance teacher come out and teach the guests a few salsa moves!
I could laugh ALL day long at this cake cutting/shoving series! The first photo with Eddie's expression while he "lovingly" shoves cake into his bride's face is priceless! Don't fret though, Melissa gets her shot right after! Soooo funny!
Clickety click here for more photos from this lovely, colorful day!

Justin and I had never shot in Monterey (Northern California) until Emily + Drew's wedding. So upon arrival, we were hit with and explosion of ideas and creativity. It's always great to shoot in new locations with fresh settings! I always tell my clients that if Justin and I could shoot in a new place every time we would be so happy!
I promise, that's a real bird...no PS tricks here...I don't believe in doing that;)
Emily + Drew's wedding took place on July 17th at the Intercontinental Hotel in Cannery Row. Gorgeous venue, gorgeous couple, gorgeous day!
I promise, that's a real bird...no PS tricks here...I don't believe in doing that;)
Don't forget about the slideshow! Congrats to Emily + Drew for tying the knot!
