Griffith Park Engagement Photography – Adam & Lauren

This past Saturday I met up with Adam & Lauren for their engagement session at Griffith Park and Observatory. It was a beautiful day in Los Angeles so we had to park nearly a mile downhill and hike up to the Observatory but we were rewarded with a beautiful sunset! I really enjoyed spending time with Adam & Lauren and getting to know them better during our session. I am very excited to capture their wedding day at Condor’s Nest Ranch this summer!

We started the session on one of the trails by the Observatory.

Orange County Wedding Photography – Jason & Marina 04/21/2013

Last weekend I tagged along with Christopher Wren Photography to help him capture Jason & Marina’s wedding day.  I have only been a 2nd photographer a handful of times in my photography career so it was a little different to be working at wedding without being the one in charge when it comes to photos.  A 2nd photographer is responsible for capturing different angles, going to a separate location if needed while the couple is getting ready, and backing up the main photographer.  One of the nice things about all this is there is less stress and responsibility as a 2nd photographer so you have a little more freedom to take more risks.

Here are a few of my favorites from Jason & Marina’s special day!

Marina picked these bright blue comfortable TOMS shoes to wear on her special day.

After we arrived at the church I spent time with the girls and captured this great moment as Marina and her girls prayed before the ceremony.

Thanks again to Chris for letting me join him last weekend. It was great to see him work and I made a few mental notes on how I can continue to grow this year as a photographer!

Los Angeles Engagement Photography – Lorne & Elizabeth

Just before we had baby Tabitha, Claudia, from Stacy Porras Wedding Consulting, contacted me letting me know her best friend, Elizabeth, is getting married later this summer and needed a wedding photographer!  Claudia and I have worked together in the past and she knew I would be a perfect fit to capture Elizabeth and Lorne’s wedding day!  After communicating with Elizabeth and Lorne, who live in Arizona, over the phone and email about their wedding plans they chose me to capture their special day.

This past weekend Lorne & Elizabeth were in town so we spent some time in Downtown Los Angeles shooting their engagement session.  Both Lorne and Elizabeth are kind and dedicated to helping others: Lorne is a cardiologist, and Elizabeth a physician assistant.   Lorne and I enjoyed chatting about baseball and my favorite team, the Phillies.   He is related to a former Phillies player, who became very famous with the Oakland A’s after being released by the Phillies.  I am so excited to capture their wedding later this year at the Montage Laguna Beach!

Here are some of my favorites from their engagement session! Thanks again to Natalie Fong for assisting!
