Jennifer + Sebastien wedding is #3 out of the last four weddings to blog from 2009 and its a good one:). Of course it was an amazing day, how could anyone go wrong with a wedding set in Maui?! Jenn + Seb were married on November 10th of 2009 at lovely house off the shore of Kihei in Maui. Justin and I were particularly looking forward to their wedding because we ended up making a vacation out of it and stayed for six days! This was my first time to Hawaii so I was giddy the entire time!
On top of sharing such a wonderful day with Jenn + Seb, we had the best sky to work with as a backdrop and the ENTIRE group in attendance at this wedding were the sweetest, most loving friends and family one could ever meet! This was such a good day all around!
What a great first trip to Hawaii...Maui was certainly my favorite! Thank you to Jenn + Seb for having us out, you two are beautiful! Click here to see their online slideshow!

Melissa + Bryan's wedding is #2 out of the last four weddings of 2009 and I am BEYOND excited to show this one off! They were married on October 24th, 2009 and held the entire event at Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado, California. We immediately fell in love with this location, there was so much to work with, we sort of had a creative flow overload! On top of such a rad location, we had Melissa + Bryan to work with, all of their amazing wedding details, and some of the best wedding vendors in the industry behind this amazing day (we'll be mentioning these vendors below)!
My favorite item of the day...the dessert station (that can count as one item...right?!)! The Sweet & Saucy Shop seriously makes the BEST cakes, cupcakes, and devilish desserts we have ever tasted! We're hoping we get to work with them many more times in the upcoming year!
Melissa + Bryan's wedding was fun, funky, colorful, and romantic all rolled into one! So, without further ado we present to you the newly married Mr. & Mrs. Bryan Huber!
Wow, what a sweet day! Thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Huber for having us out! Click here to see their online slideshow!

I just love you pictures!
I am kind of curios on what kind of post-processing you do to your pictures (I'm currently attending a year of study in photography and trying to pick up everything I can from photographers which work I love). Also, I wonder what type of flashes you use on these pictures.
Regards,
Angelica

You wear them, we shoot them! One of our very favorite things to shoot on a wedding day (besides the bride and groom of course) are the RINGS! Here are some of our favorites from 2009!

Molly + John's wedding is 1 of 4 more weddings we need to post that were shot in 2009. I'm so excited to show off these last four weddings...I'm in love with each one's style, setting, and story. So here goes with the first of four!

The lovely Molly had here hair & make-up done by the ever fab Nicole DeAnne!










My favorite item of the day: Molly took her AMAZING calligraphy skill and HAND-WROTE out all of these ceremony/reception fans!

My favorite shot of the day...simple, but I'm I like how real it is. I caught this just as Molly + John walked out to greet their guests at their reception!


....and we got caught in the party! John convinced me to go out onto the dance floor with them, it was fun:)
What would a wedding post be without a slideshow?! Don't forget to click here to see more from Molly + John's wedding day.
Molly + John were married on October 17th, 2009 at one of our favorite places to shoot, The Shade Hotel in Manhattan Beach (this is also the home of our next LYON-SHOP to take place on January 12th). Everything about The Shade Hotel screams style, from the straight lines, to the long green curtains, to the whirl wind fire places in each hotel room...we heart this location! On top of such an amazing location we had the ever fantastic Molly + John to work with! Great style, sweet personalities, and they were ready to party the minute we showed up (you'll see that I actually got dragged into it their party if you make your way down to the bottom of this post)!
Here's one down, now only three weddings from 2009 to go, keep a look out!

Wow, it was super fun putting this post together, Justin and I loved going through all of 2009 weddings and remembering what a fun year it was! We had so many GREAT clients and personally would like to thank each one of them for a year of success!
For this particular post we chose images from each wedding, some are from "my favorite shot of the day", some are ones that I can't let go of, and some images we chose because we think they are just plain-fabulous (pssst...if you look cloesly you might even see some shots from weddings we haven't even featured on the blog yet). Enjoy!
We are definitely looking forward to the future with the weddings we've booked for 2010! Happy New Year to everyone, we wish all of you much success and many-many blessings!
