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.

...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!)

Love the detailed reception & food shots. Great creative shot with the In & Out Burger holder and the wedding rings. As a NYC lover of In & Out Burger, that shot really spoke to me.

Whitney + Steve were married at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana. 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.
