amelialyon http://www.amelialyon.net Figueroa Hotel in Downtown LA. I loved, loved this Moroccan style hotel, so colorful and so romantic. We also had a fun time shooting there because we were able to get creative with our lighting since the interior of the hotel was a little dark, I think it added a great mood to their images!

My second favorite shot of the day, scroll down to see my first favorite...

I thought this ring shot was pretty fitting for the location!

My favorite shot of the day!

The belly dancers at the reception really brought the party to life!

A few weeks ago I went to have a play date with my cousin and her two sons. We also wanted to meet the newest addition to their family, baby Van! He was only two weeks old. You may remember...

amelialyon http://www.amelialyon.net portrait session last year, Whitney was newly pregnant with Van then.

I love photographing newborns, every little detail about their little bodies is so amazing to me, I can hardly fathom such a tiny and perfect creation!

Jack and Hudson are the same age...they are bcf (best cousins forever!).

My favorite shot of the day!

amelialyon http://www.amelialyon.net Mark Brooke Photography, invited us out to spend the afternoon at Candice's parents' house in the Huntington Beach Harbor. Candice's parents also own a Duffy boat, so we all decided to go out for a little ride. It was the coolest way to spend a Sunday afternoon, just lazily riding along the harbor and enjoying the weather!

It's Capt'n Mark, FULL SPEED AHEAD!

"He's got Hydrogen Psychosis, the crazy eye!"

I love my granny-glasses!

Hudson had a ton of fun driving the boat too!

Ps. Mark and Candice can make a MAD dish of fajitas!

Sloan is growing up so much everyday, he crawls around and loves pulling himself up onto things! I can't believe how big he is already!

I don't know why, but this photo makes me LOL!

Of course this is my favorite shot from this series!

amelialyon http://www.amelialyon.net Richard Nixon Library. We really had fun with this location and we even were able to shoot inside the museum! I already had a great time with this uber-cool couple on their uber-cool engagement session, the wedding was nothing short of uber-cool as well!

Also, a little side note, Nicole DeAnne did a great job with Theresa's hair and make-up, she also worked the brides maids! For any of my future brides looking for a great hair/make-up artist, Nicole DeAnne is your girl! Great job sis!

The first glance!

Justin is sooooooo good at capturing such strong emotion, just like in the following shot:

We were blessed that day with the presence of our new fabulous photog friend Denise Bovee, she took this next shot and I loved it! We heart you Denise!

Inside the museum...

My favorite shot of the day! Can anyone say SUN-GLARE?!

The ladies were having fun in the photobooth!

I'll give 100 points to anyone that can guess what song everyone is dancing to...anyone?!

We had a radically-awesome time with Theresa and Dan at the wedding! Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Choi! Click here to see their slideshow.

amelialyon http://www.amelialyon.net The Grand Tradition. Nat and John have probably been one of the most easy going couples we have ever worked with, they seem to have a such a light-hearted outlook on things. The wedding day was really a great reflection of them, and of course, they both looked handsome dressed up in wedding attire!

Something blue...

The shot with John and his mom, taken by Justin, is priceless!

My favorite shot of the day!

You may notice something a little different about John since their engagement session...can anyone guess what it is?!

Yet another successful Kiss Wedding Book sign in album!

We are super happy for Nat and John! Click here to see their slideshow!

Last month we visited Arizona for a few reasons, the first being that Heather (Justin's younger sister) was in town on her way moving from Tennessee to Utah, the second being that Justin's Grandparents were also in town from Idaho,...

amelialyon http://www.amelialyon.net escape enjoy the heat!

Since I was able take some portraits of my Grandparents back in May I wanted to make sure to also get some portraits of Justin's Grandparents as well. Isn't Justin's Grandmother beautiful?!

Justin's Grandpa is full of life...he is the life of the party and always has a huge grin on his face!

Here's my favorite shot of this bunch! I want to be JUST LIKE them when Justin and I grow old together! Just from this shot alone I can tell how much Lou adores Verna!

We thought we would get sort of a four generation shot with our boys too.

The next day we rented out a little villa by the pool at the Arizona Biltmore, what a great way to spend a day in HOT AZ!

I am in love with my baby!

Anne and Mark are definitely rock-stars to the max! They looked so amazing for their engagement session and were even cooler to photograph! We shot their engagement photos in Downtown Los Angeles. We started out at the Walt Disney Concert...

amelialyon http://www.amelialyon.net Walt Disney Concert Hall and I'm not going to lie, I was a little hesitant to go there at the risk of taking images that look like all of the other photographs I've see from there, but much to our delight the location was awesome and I think we took a totally different view on it.

My favorite shot of the day!

After shooting at the Walt Disney Concert Hall we went down into the streets!

Thanks to my amazing husband, and his awesome producing-people skills,we were able take this image!

We're looking forward to the wedding in August!

A few weeks ago I had a fun time with my cousin Jason and his lovely wife Emily. We decided to book a pregnancy session since the baby would be coming soon, and it was a dang good thing we...

amelialyon http://www.amelialyon.net experimental flash session Justin shot of them right before they found out they were pregnant. Also, if you visit our old blog, they are the couple in the big field holding hands that shows up as one of the photos in the header at the top.

My absolute favorite shot of the day!

The first time I met Elaine and Aram was at their engagement session a few weeks ago. I had no idea what they looked like, all I was familiar with was the sound of their voices (as they had booked...

amelialyon http://www.amelialyon.net LACMA for their engagement session and was delightfully surprised with coolness of this couple! Also, the LACMA exterior was an excellent location for an engagement session of their caliber, I felt this place suited Elaine and Aram very well.

My favorite shot of the day!

After spending some time at the LACMA Aram and Elaine wanted to head into Korea Town to visit a second location, I caught a few shots of them in the car ride over.

The last place we went to was PinkBerry! This was my first time tasting this little cup-o-heaven, and let me say that it was unlike any ice-cream or yogurt out there. I am officially hooked!

Elaine and Aram's wedding takes place in just a few weeks, I have a feeling it'll be a good one!

amelialyon http://www.amelialyon.net their sweet engagement session in Manhattan Beach!

Since Buddy and Tina both lived in Spain for a time and have a common passion for that country, I could definitely see some Spanish influences in their decor and dress.

My favorite shot of the day taken by Justin! Good work honey! Gotta love that Lens Baby action!

I love the reality of this image, this was taken just before the reception at the end of the cocktail hour.

The first dance was incredible and choreographed!

A big thank you and Congratulations to Buddy and Tina, hope life is full of happiness and fun for you together! Click here to see the day in its entirety with this online slideshow!
