Wedding at Hotel Laguna, Laguna Beach

Lisa and Matt had a lovely, intimate outdoor wedding at Hotel Laguna. As I was driving to the venue, it was raining but it cleared up within the hour. I'm so glad that their wedding day stayed true to course. Both looked impeccable, especially Matt's choice of whimsical socks and Lisa's Jimmy Choo's. I may be biased because I got married in Laguna Beach but this is such a beautiful wedding location. It brought back so many memories for me. I could have photographed them all day as they looked so dashing in this beach setting. Congratulations Lisa and Matt and thank you so much for allowing me to capture your big day.

I had fun capturing this adorable family/maternity session. Ethan just wanted to explore the park but I managed to capture a few when he wasn't wandering. I first met Marina to take her real estate headshots. It's so exciting when clients continue to use your services, especially when it's for their family photos. We didn't have a game plan and you really can't with a two year old. I really warmed up to Ethan yet who wouldn't with his charming looks. Thank you Tourney's for thinking of me to photograph this special moment in time for you.

Joanie described her and Sam as "we are not super serious people so we are happy with fun pics." She did request for a few shots of them wearing their Seahawk jerseys. I wonder if she would have booked her wedding with me if she knew beforehand that I root for the 49'ers. We all played well together and captured some darling photos from their session. This is one couple that just kisses right for the camera. I try not to post so many kissing shots but it gives you a sense of who they are and how comfortable they are together. Joanie was up for anything and suggested climbing a tree to get a shot on a tree branch. I wouldn't have asked for them to do it because it was high enough where it could have ended on not such a positive note...it turned out to be my favorite photo of them. What a fun couple, I can't wait to capture their wedding day. Thank you Joanie and Sam for being such great sports, even though you're Seahawk fans.
