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!

The answer is yes, we just don't always post them on our blog;) Love this one of Heather + Sean.

hswed015.jpghswed016.jpgHeather + Sean had this crazy idea of incorporating guns into their photos somehow. It was fitting since they both love shooting, hunting, fishing, camping, and basically anything to do with the great outdoors.

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.

Not a fan of guns, but that last shot is AWESOME! It's quirky and I LOVE it!

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!

'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!

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!

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!

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!
