Laguna Beach Engagement Session: Marnie & Scott

As Marnie and Scott played on the sand and shared loving glances, it made me remembered why I love my job so much.  Marnie and Scott are a photographer’s dream couple.  Not only do they have All-American good looks and charm, they also have great style, and were open to having lots of fun.  Marnie and Scott are both from the Ohio area, and will be transplanting to the Southern California area later this year.  They ended up coming out to one of my favorite photo spots in Laguna Beach, staying at the Art Hotel right along PCH for the weekend.  As a highlight of their trip, they wanted to celebrate their engagement with a fun photo shoot.

Stephanie & Ryan’s Wedding: Huntington Beach

Today, I’d like to share Stephanie and Ryan’s beautiful wedding.  They got married this past Saturday at Sts. Simon + Jude Church, followed by a reception at the Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach.  Stephanie would describe her wedding as “formal- beachy” with a bold black and white color scheme with dark purple accents.  Unlike most weddings, we started photography coverage at the ceremony.  The first time we saw Stephanie and Ryan was when they arrived just moments before walking down the isle.  My favorite moment of the day was when we got to spend some time one-on-one with Stephanie and Ryan at sunset.  We walked around downtown Huntington Beach with the urban setting and some creative lighting shots with the beach in the background.
