birava + sandeep

Birava and Sandeep celebrated for three days, with the final celebration being the wedding day, held at: California Science Center in LA. The event was coordinated by Smita (Ethnic Essence) who pulled off the day flawlessly... always impressive for such large events. It takes a lot of skill to plan an event for over 600 people!!!! Hemant Bhalla beautifully lit the reception creating a cool, dramatic vibe...

miriam + sadler . the engagement

The three of us had a lot of laughs as we shot these last week in Old Town Pasadena... here are a few from the session! I love the curb side shots!

steph + chris . san diego engagement

So, Steph and I have known one another since she asked me to be her locker partner in the seventh grade. when i said "yes" she ran home and told her mom she made friends with an albino. She had never seen someone with such blond hair and thought I must be albino, I had to be... heehee.

Steph is marrying Chris whom I met for the first time this week and I love him :) He definitely gets my stamp of approval. We spent a couple of days hanging; doing all things bridal, including meeting with vendors. But we also made time to shoot engagement photos, and even some boudoir & couples boudoir shots (a few of those will be posted shortly!!!!) Until then... enjoy their engagement session down in San Diego!

LUCAS :)

Here are a few recent shots of my little love... gotta love the diaper and jean jacket look!
We also took little man to the park last week and took a few snapshots of his very first time on the swing set. Needless to say; he LOVED it!

Kiran + Shilen, Indian wedding slideshow

Kiran + Shilen's wedding was an incredible event. Simply Mumtaz Weddings coordinated the lavish affair and made sure everything ran smoothly and beautifully. With such a large guest list, this can be a challenge, yet all went extremely well and everyone had a blast. It began with a grand entrance upon a horse at Rancho Las Lomas, included traditions from each of their heritage, and conlcuded at the Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach They even brought in large chandeliers to complete the look of the ballroom within the evening. The night was incredibly fun. I just loooove weddings ***insert starry eyed gaze*** :)
