Andrew and Hanna - Noguchi Plaza

January 30, 2012

I want you guys to meet Andrew and Hanna! When trying to figure out what they wanted to do for their engagement shoot they kept gravitating towards an Alice in Wonderland inspired concept that incorporated a lot of negative space. They choose the Noguchi Plaza as the backdrop to tie in Hanna's love for architecture and art as well! I just LOVE the way these photos came out! Hope you all enjoy them as much as we do!

This session is seriously great! I just stumbled upon your work from a pinterest post about your tree trunk backdrop and I'm glad I did. It's very easy to see your ease and passionate style of photography. So refreshing!

Hi everybody! I hope you all enjoyed the Christmas and New Year break, I know we sure did! We are happy to kick off the year with this awesome wedding of Matt and Lisa taken place amongst the beautiful backdrop of Palm Springs, CA.

Very creative and cute shoot. Great job incorporating something as ordinary as s'mores and using them to add to the personality of the couple. Very original. The last photo is my favorite. The love they have for each other shows through these photos.

Ryan and Jennifer - Big Sur, CA

December 13, 2011

Meet Ryan and Jennifer! Two of the sweetest, most down to earth people you will ever encounter. I loved every detail of their wedding and how they all tied in together seamlessly with the beautiful back drop of Big Sur as well as their lovable personalities. I knew right from the very first time I met with them that their wedding was going to be amazing! Private estate wedding on a cliff with only 30 of your closest friends and family, how could you go wrong! The best part is that most of these amazing details were all hand crafted and DIY projects the bride and the rest of her friends and family helped put together. Jen also recently joined the crazy world of wedding photography. Check out her awesome work here! Also a thanks to Green Wedding Shoes for featuring this wedding on your awesome blog! Hope you all enjoy!!
