Melissa & Greg’s Engagement: Long Beach

Melissa and Greg are Long Beach residents who love the outdoors.  They’be been together for 2 years and during a snowboarding trip to Tahoe, Greg proposed on top of a ski slope.  They are planning on an August wedding in Long Beach and wanted to celebrate their engagement somewhere local.  They chose some great spots as backdrops for their session, Shoreline Village and a beautiful park on Signal Hill with views from Catalina to downtown LA.  I had such a great time hanging with these two, and I’m really looking forward to their wedding!

Kaori & David: Long Beach Museum of Art Wedding

Kaori and David celebrated a beautiful summer wedding at the Long Beach Museum of Art last weekend.  The Long Beach  Museum of Art is one of my favorite spots for a wedding with the intimate setting, great view of the ocean, and rotating exhibits.  They are currently exhibiting “Architecture for Dogs,” with a lot of cool doghouses and dog themed paintings.  One of my favorite images from the day was the expressions on David and Kaori’s face during the ceremony.   There was a Despicable Me 2 blimp floating around and they happened to look up and have a priceless look on their faces.  These two are so easy going and such a great couple to work with.    It was such a pleasure to be a part of their day!  Here’s a review of my favorite images.

Jennifer & Henry: Married in Riverside

Jennifer and Henry tied the knot this past weekend at the Victoria Club in Riverside.  The wedding was filled with lots of love, family, and friends.  Jennifer wanted her wedding to be bright and summery with warm colors of oranges and pinks to represent each of them.  The would describe themselves as traditional but a little goofy.  The day started as Jennifer got ready at the historic Mission Inn.  The ceremony at the Victoria Club took place on the green with indoor reception that followed.  Here’s some of my favorite images from their day!
