Heather + Sean were married a few weeks ago in Los Angeles at the LDS Temple there. It's always a delight to shoot on these grounds since this is where Justin and I were married nearly 9 years back! Also, we are constantly being challenged each time we shoot at this location to recreate ourselves as photographers so that each couple gets a unique set of photos for their wedding day.
Here are my favorite portraits from Heather + Sean's wedding day!










People often ask if Justin and I ever get "timeless/classic" portraits of the bride and groom. The answer is yes, we just don't always post them on our blog;) Love this one of Heather + Sean.
Congrats to Heather + Sean, click here for their wedding slideshow including shots from their reception!

These are gorgeous and fun! I adore the last one with the guns and would say that in it's own way it is just as timeless and classic as the more traditional pose, in that I would bet their grandchildren and generations past will probably likely remember it more.

Justin and I shot this session or Rachel + Todd in San Francisco! I was DELIGHTED to take a quick trip to San Fran for this engagement session, especially because I LOVE the food and city life there! Any excuse to travel to the Bay Area is a good excuse to me!
Rachel + Todd were fun & playful, we had such a sweet afternoon with them!

Such sweet pictures. They seem so real which is not as common as you would hope. I have never been to San Fransisco but I have always wanted to go.

'Tis the season! Everyone is engaged and everyone wants their engagement photos to be take in preparation for the big wedding day. What a fun time of year for Amelia Lyon Photography, so busy shooting, it's awesome to have a full bucket and a full schedule!















Had such a hard time choosing one, so I'm choosing two favorite shots of the day! Love these two photos together as a diptych!
Justin and I shot this engagement session of Tiffany + Wylie at a park we've always loved. So many elements to work with, it was sweet!

I love the playful nature of the picture near the tree. Hand held heads together. Reminds me of scenes with small children, bashful even.

I love the tilt-shift photography you have. Is that a lensbaby or done in post? I can't tell so it's a good job either way :)

Glad I got to work with Bekah + Yohan shooting their engagement session. We shot this session at the Griffith Observatory overlooking Downtown LA. I was a bit nervous because the only time Yohan + Bekah were available for the shoot was at 11am and mid-day lighting is a challenge, but I faced the challenge head on and LOVED it!

Oh lordy I love the of them sitting on the table under the tree!! Gorgeous! And adorable couple!

I shot this engagement session with Sarah + Matty at Venice Beach. I had never shot there before so I was super excited for a fresh location to work with! I especially loved the personalities of Sarah + Matty, so easy and fun to photograph!
Watch out for their wedding happening in November!
