So do you remember Rachelle + Patrick?! They were lovely couple #2 in the wedding photography giveaway contest we ran last winter. Each couple that did not win still received a complimentary portrait session from us and their wedding photography still shot for free by other amazing photographer volunteers. It really was great to see the response the giveaway brought, so much love from family, friends, and viewers! So with out further ado, here is Rachelle + Patrick...engaged!
Both Rachelle + Patrick are performers...I thought is was so fun that they thought to bring a microphone & electric guitar as props!

I love the feel of this little family shoot I did. I have a secret place in Fullerton that I call my "insta-forest" and it's great when I need lots of greenery to work with. I thought the Hoang family was ADORABLE together, plus their little one Lauren is cute-to-the-max!
Adam Kealing said:
These are fantastic! I absolutely love the location and the eye of the photographer :)

Love this shoot!! I love your work!!! I'm a student photographer preparing myself for my first maternity shoot and this is exactly the kind of green area we've been looking for. I was just wondering if you would share your secret with me. I promise to guard it well.

Yes, oh yes, this truly is the most adorable couple I've ever had the chance to photograph!!! My Aunt Karen + Uncle Floyd! Their daughter Kaitlyn surprised them with a portrait session for Christmas last year and Justin and I finally were able to get them in front of our cameras a few weeks ago. I watched them as we did the portrait session and I saw complete, utter, and unbelievable happiness. I want to be like them when Justin and I grow up!
My first and favorite shot of the day!

Jessica Snow, or better known to me as Jet Snow, has been following Justin & my work for a few years now ever since Justin did a shoot for Eliza Magazine. Now she is getting married to the her sweetheart Pat! Jet + Pat decided to hire us for a fun fantastic pre-wedding shoot in Santa Monica. We started out at the LDS Temple, it was really nice to have them all to myself. Unlike all of the other times I've shot at this temple, it's always been on a wedding day with all of the wedding guests and family around along with the hustle and bustle of the day's activities. So it was super nice to be have the luxury of time in order to get as creative as I wanted. Jet + Pat were super uber sweet to work with, I loved their dynamic and style together!
We ended up at the Santa Monica Pier. The light was perfect, the weather was perfect, and of course Jet + Pat were perfect!
My second favorite shot of the day! *Photographers-Justin and recently purchase Radio-Poppers and we LOVE them!
Congrats on the new Mr. +Mrs. to-be!
