One of the funnest things to photograph on a wedding day (beside the bride and groom of course) are the set of rings! Ring-tography is what I like to call it! I do have to give credit to my talented husband Justin for most of these ring shots that were thought up and shot by him. I love looking over this collection in comparison to last year! Here are the best of rings from 2011!
Up next: Best of 2011....WEDDINGS!!! Be ready for it!:)

Amazing stuff. That was my favorite part of assisting the Lyons, learning cool macro and lighting techniques for ring shots. You guys rock!

I loved the style of Kerrie + Jason's wedding, so different from any other wedding Justin and I have ever shot, it definitely had my creativity flowing! I've been looking forward to featuring this one since the day we shot it! The entire event was held at the Figueroa Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. This hotel is stylin' and has a rad Moroccan decor, plus the food there is fantastic! I had a super rough time narrowing down my favorites so beware, this is about to be a very long photographic post! I hope you enjoy it all as much as I do!:)
Daughter and mother.
Kerrie designed and made her own wedding dress! I loved the color and design, it fit Kerrie to a tee. Kerrie is also a great costume/jewelry designer, check out her work here!
The bridesmaids' flapper-style dresses were my favorite detail of the day!
Daughter and father.
Immediately after the ceremony we headed to the roof to catch the last bit of sunlight of the day.

The ceremony was moody, so many candles and colors, definitely eye-candy!

Amelia, these are absolutely stunning. You are so so so incredible! The shot of them kissing with the stained glass behind them is definitely my favorite. You are so freaking rad!

Ever since I first met Sarah + Eric I had been looking forward to photographing their wedding day! Their story is truly unique and beautiful, I was touched so many times throughout their wedding day emotionally. What an amazing day it was for both of them and one they had been waiting patiently for. Congratulations to Sarah + Eric!!!
Pure joy!:)
Loved all of the fun vintage furniture provided by Found Rentals that added to the amazing decor at The Smog Shoppe for the ceremony and reception.
These invitations rocked my world...any guesses why?!;)
This was SUCH a great ceremony...so many emotions, Justin and I were grateful to be able to capture it!
So simple...My favorite shot of the day with Sarah + Eric exchanging their vows.
My favorite detail of the day: the red biodegradable balloons that all the guests let go into the air!
The team of Element Weddings and styling/florals from JL Designs did a FANTASTIC job, every detail was so perfect, loved it all!
Wow, what a day!! Congratulations to Sarah + Eric, you two deserved this amazing day!! click here to see more with a slideshow.

This was such a fun wedding to be a part of! Eric is truly one of the nicest guys anybody could ever meet, and his friends were awesome! Although there was a ton of emotion at the ceremony, the wedding was really upbeat and positive. The guests partyed like rock stars, and the band tore it up. Great night! --Ryan

It's always fun working with and getting to photograph a friend's wedding! As was the case with Nate + Katie Rose. Justin has been busy co-producing a radical upcoming kids television show with Nate over this past year & has worked with Nate on Yo Gabba Gabba, so Justin & he have become pretty close. We're so glad that Nate met Katie Rose and fell in love with her...we're even happier that we got to photograph their wedding day!
The wedding party...
My favorite detail of the day: the "Mr & Mrs Rogers" sign hanging over their ceremony site...loved it! Shauna Lewis of The Little Shop of Shavs did fantastic job coordinating the ceremony and reception. She also does these amazing paintings...it's a MUST check out!

Your work is so beautiful and artistic! I've been wondering, what tones/actions are you using to get the coloring in these photos? They're a mix between creamy and warm yet still cool.

Love your work Amelia. I have to say, the look of your images conveys a feeling that is hard to describe. They have warmth and emotion. I admire a few other photographers with different styles, but yours is unique unlike any other. You and a local photographer Ashley Warren are two of my favorite photographers, and yet so completely different. It seems you use similar tools, but applied in your own artistic ways. Like a paintbrush used by two fine artists to render different works of art. I want to create my own style, but what it is, I'm still trying to figure out. thanks for sharing your ideas with us.
