los angeles arboretum engagement session

louis + melody are two wildly creative folks (melody is an extraordinary violin player and louis a videographer for musicians and weddings) and one super cute couple. we met up one hot and humid day for their engagement session at the gorgeous los angeles arboretum (sassy peacocks included) and props to them for putting up with an hour of me saying "can you stand in/around/behind this plant?" 

laguna beach engagement session | krista + ryan

dreamy light and a coastal breeze - can all my photo shoots be like this? these two lovebirds will be married this weekend and if our engagement session was any indication, it's gonna be a grand ol' time. 

carmen + delphin | clark estate wedding

carmen + delphin were married at the gorgeous santa fe springs clark estate just a short drive from los angeles. the old spanish setting was ideal for their intimate celebration -- which included some pretty great california donuts and some of the loveliest bridesmaid dresses i've come across yet (that sparkle is legit.)
