Engagement Session in Pasadena

Hi!! It’s wedding season, can you tell? Last week, I was part of two gorgeous weddings I shot; what more can a little Mexican girl ask for? I am so blessed!! Now it’s time to showcase the session of Nicole and Garry.
Two birds in love; so in love that when I met them we all cried with happiness as Nicole described to me why she loves Garry so much. I fell in love with them as soon as I met them. As I told you, Garry, I did!!
Nicole and Garry are going to celebrate their marriage at the Occidental College in Eagle Rock.
I really enjoyed the session, as I always do, but this time we were able to get into the Pasadena Performing Arts Center, which was closed. A good man let us in for just a few shots. Thank you, good man. (We never got his name). I present you some of my favorites of the day.

Wedding in Ventura at the Crowne Plaza Hotel

Hello my friends
I am having a blast working on the images from the weddings I did this weekend; perfect brides and grooms, perfect venues, perfect guests!! The wedding of Joe and Rian was held at the San Buenaventura Mission. What a beautiful church and mission, built in the 1700’s. The courtyard was the perfect place for Joe and Rian to have their “first look”. She chose to see her future husband before the ceremony. That was FANTASTIC! It was so perfect, everything well planned, so the pressure was off. If you remember, Rian and Joe had their engagement session there in Ventura also. After the religious marriage, we walked to the beach and took some fun portraits of them. The hotel, where they hosted the reception, was the Crowne Plaza Hotel which was walking distance from the beach. While the guests enjoyed the cocktail hour, we were taking some more portraits of the new husband and wife in the lobby of the hotel. This was the perfect place to be creative. Here I present you the wedding of Rian and Joe…

Dave and Christy Engagement session

Hello friends and new followers. I would like to thank you for stopping by my blog. These last couple of weeks have been very busy; I just wanted to let you know. I have been working on some very cool engagement sessions that I need to post here. The weddings that I have been a part of are also going to be in my blog; I just need more hours in the day. You understand, right? Well, I am presenting you with the fabulous engagement session of Christy and Dave. This engagement session took place in the Malibu and Santa Monica areas.
I met Christy a few years ago at the gym where we used to work out. We also did kickboxing together; tough class, but we loved it! Christy met Dave, the man of her dreams and he proposed to her while she was celebrating his birthday. How sweet!! Love that Dave! Their wedding will take place this month at the Camarillo Ranch House in the city of Camarillo. Christy told me that the Ranch House has been renovated and her wedding will be the first one to be held there. We are going to rock that house!! Christy and Dave have a fun group of friends and I can assure you that it is going to be a fun, fun wedding!! I can’t wait!
Some of my favorite images of the session..
