Albert and Christina Engagement Session in Burbank

Last year I met with Christina and Albert to talk about their wedding ideas and to select their photographer. They did!! We met in Moorpark in a really rad café. I love these kinds of places, they are funky. Albert is a very kind man and Christina’s smile could melt an igloo. Their wedding will be a very “homemade” event. She is choosing to have apple pie as her wedding cake. What a fun and different approach. Also, they have spent some time making “homemade strawberry jam” as a gift to all of their guests. Their engagement session was one of a kind. Albert wanted to go to
Bob’s Big Boy restaurant in Burbank. The restaurant is open 24 hours and they have the very traditional American food. Albert and Christina mentioned the reason they wanted to have their engagement session there. As a kid, Albert and his family used to go on Sundays to eat at Bob’s Big Boy. It was a huge tradition in Albert’s family. Christina and Albert wanted to have something special since they both love that restaurant. As you see, they dress for the era; very 50’s. Thank you guys for putting in the extra effort. You totally made my day!! The reception will be held at Las Posas Country Club and the Sacrament of Marriage at Our Lady of Guadalupe church in Santa Paula.

Wedding at the Porter Ranch Country Club

Happy week dear friends. I have been so excited lately that I wish you could see me now (dancing). Last week we were part of the wedding in Northridge of Nate and Sarah. I arrived at Sarah’s cousin’s house where all of the girls, along with Sarah, were getting ready. It was fun to see all of the ladies getting ready all at once; oh yes, in one bathroom!! But it was just perfect because everyone took turns. When Sarah was ready with her hair, make-up and her gorgeous dress, we went and did some portraits of her, solo. After achieving what I wanted, we all drove to the Porter Valley Country Club where the boys were waiting for us. Nate and Sarah chose to see each other before the ceremony. That went as planned and was as special as they had always dreamed of; again the pressure was off. Right after, the bridal party joined us for some fun shots. After a little while, we tucked the bride away. (Guests should not see the bride at all). The ceremony was beautiful. The background was the golf course and the pond which is on the grounds of the Country Club. At night the view was to die for; the perfect place to be with the weather we had last week. The DJ was Liberty City; they rocked the night and kept all of the guests happy and dancing. Julie Pittman, the catering manager at the Country Club, made sure that all of the details for the wedding were ready as Sarah wanted. The flowers, by A Symphony of Flowers, were perfect.
