Ashley & Donnie: Lavender Farm Engagement

Today, I want to introduce you to my first clients of 2013: Ashley and Donnie.  They booked me at the beginning of the year for their wedding next May.  Ashley is a graphic designer/ marketer who is planing on mixing Old World Charm and fun elements of Disneyland for her wedding.  I must also say I’m also extra excited because Ashley will also be my first Hindu bride, with the amazing traditional gown and all!   When she told me her favorite color was purple, I knew she was the perfect candidate for a location I’ve been wanting to photograph for a long while  This past weekend, we headed to Temecula for a perfect mix of color, culture, and cuteness at an amazing lavender field at Keys Creek Lavender Farm.

Melissa + Jeff: Married Moorpark Country Club

I met Melissa and Jeff back in August as they started planning their wedding.  Melissa would describe her vision as “modern, classic, a little bit of glam.”  I photographed their engagement session at Paradise Cove in Malibu.  It was exciting seeing Melissa’s vision come together this past weekend!  They were surrounded by their families and their wedding included traditions from Melissa’s Spanish heritage including a lasso ceremony and mariachi band.  Here’s some of my favorite pictures!

When I first saw Jeff, I almost didn’t recognize him!  He was wearing a tux, sunglasses, and long hair slicked back.

Most of Melissa’s bridesmaids have been in her life since the age of 12, with the exception of her sister and a high school friend.  How gorgeous are these ladies!

The sun was so bright, Jeff had to turn away from the sun until Melissa was close to the alter.
