It had been a while since I shot in Downtown LA, I was especially looking forward to Tessa + Jay's engagement session after Tessa showed me their invites that she had designed herself. The invites were very "urban city" as I would describe them, so of course we both agreed that Downtown LA would be the best fit for their wedding style!

Tessa and Jay must be ecstatic with these pics. My favorite is the one downtown (in color) with the buildings looming behind them. Very cool.

Hello, Excellent le blog ! Tombe sous le charme du rendu photographique. Bravo. Juste une question : comment obtiens-tu ce rendu "vintage" des photos ? J'aimerai, sinon en faire, au moins essayer d'en faire autant !

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?

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. :)
