Teresa + Kenneth were married on July 3rd, 2010 at the Athenaeum in Pasadena. I'm super happy with the way that this wedding turned out, what a beautiful wedding and what a beautiful couple! I seriously was in love with this location and thought it was a perfect fit for Teresa + Kenneth!
You know when you start out the day with a Reem Acra dress it's going to be a REALLY good day!
There were so many timeless details incorporated into this wedding, from Teresa's dress, to Kenneth's suit, to the venue, and then all the way down to the paperworks/stationary.

BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS AMELIA! BTW, what happened to your favorite item of the day? I was organizing the other day and came across the card you wrote us with our album...something about how our family will grow...guess what? We're expecting a baby girl in three weeks...and her name is...Amelia. :) Hopefully when she is old enough we can have you do a family session!

Kristyn + Ryan's wedding was so much fun! I knew it would be, we had a blast getting to know them through the engagement session and their humor just completely matched our's!
The first look! 
My favorite shot of the day! The emotion in this image feels so real, this is just before Kristyn & her mother walked down the aisle together. Also, I spy Nicole DeAnne in this shot, Kristyn hired Nicole DeAnne to do her hair and make-up, she even had Nicole stay until this very moment.
Ha! Kristyn was very entertained by Justin's glasses, I call them his "7th grade science teacher" glasses!
Melinda from Weddings by Melinda did a great job at coordinating the whole day!
Seriously, something has to be said about Melody from My Sweet & Saucy, the girl is TALENTED and her desserts taste out of this world!!! If you ever have the chance to taste one of her many delicious creations, do it, it is SO WORTH IT! Kristyn + Ryan hired My Sweet & Saucy to bring dessert for their guests.
At the end of the evening there was an IN-N-OUT truck waiting their guests for a round two of dinner.

A humongous THANK YOU to Kristyn + Ryan for having us out! Click here to view their wedding day slideshow, don't hate on the song I chose, it's sort of a special treat specifically for Kristyn!;)

...i like your beard... :) good song choice!
awesome job amelia...and justin, i think you should pimp out your classes more often...that would have been fun to snag them and grab a pic of myself in them at the lyon-shop...darn it! wish i had thought of it...and didn't even get a pic of me with EITHER of you. i think i was too saturated with the wisdom you imparted that i completely lost all sense. (temporarily...uhhhh maybe not!)

Whitney + Steve were married at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Simi Valley. This venue was beyond gorgeous and a little piece of heaven on earth right in the LA County!
Whitney + Steve had Justin and I come out and photograph their rehearsal dinner the night before. We don't normally photograph rehearsal dinners so it was a treat to participate in some of the pre-wedding festivities. We stole Whitney + Steve away for a quick thirty minute shoot that night and had fun with our surroundings. Here are few from that night.

Hey guys. The ringshot...I don't get it, but I like it. Wait let me look again....nope, still don't get it, but I still like it. You guys are good enough to actually go pro at this wedding photography stuff. I don't know, just something to think about. Maybe you'll heed my words and make something of yourselves someday. I only wish the best for you. That's why I want you to get off the couch and do something. Pay your dues to society would ya!? I'm sorry for yelling. It's just that I see your talent and know that you could take it so far and still you only shoot weddings on weekends. You have the power to make it cool to get married on a Tuesday and you don't. Maybe if you were only available for weddings on Tuesdays.....people would take you more serious as artists. All I ask is that you think about it. Give it a chance to breath. You can't suffocate an idea with so much promise. Then other photographers would follow in your footsteps, only choosing different weekdays. Then as a group you could cover/specialize in everyday of the week. But all of this I've just said is dependent on you going pro. I've slacked in commenting in recent amazing posts and for this I am sorry. I hope I've made you smile today. This was my intention. I love you guys.
