Wow, it’s really cooled down here in Southern California over the past few days which makes for a perfect time to post this cozy fall engagement session. Hannah and Kent are too freaking adorable together and are absolutely each others perfect match. We had an awesome time strolling around in the fall leaves with them and cracking up pretty much the whole time. We also constantly were gushing over how ADORABLE they are together.
Oh, man! The hits just keep on comin’! We feel like broken records always talking about how much we love our couples and how blessed we are to get to hang out with such awesome people on their wedding days. SERIOUSLY though, Tina + Tim are such a rad couple! We had a blast shooting with them at their Long Beach engagement session (can you find the ode to their engagement session in the wedding photos??) and we were SO excited to shoot their wedding in San Clemente. We had so much fun shooting their wedding that even a random bird attack couldn’t dampen our spirits. Yes, you read that right. A very protective bird straight-up dive-bombed Joe just before the ceremony! Notwithstanding the terrifying efforts of that ferocious fowl, good times were had! Tina + Tim’s love for one another just spills out of them so much that it is inspiring. It also seemed like every single person at their wedding absolutely adored the two of them. I mean, it’s not surprising at all since we absolutely adore them too, but still… In short, it was a day overflowing with rad. Period.
This Walnut Grove wedding was just… Okay, seriously everyone, this wedding was SO… You see, the thing about THIS wedding was… ARRRRG!!! Where on Earth do we even start with Marie and Nick’s wedding!?!?!? They are so insanely cute with one another. They are super sweet. They are hilarious. Their wedding was absolutely gorgeous and, of course, Walnut Grove in Moorpark is an amazing venue. Words just don’t do it justice. Thankfully we took a few photos while we were there! :)
In short, we had a great time shooting with them, both at their engagement session and at their wedding. Enjoy!
Oh yeah…and we did this:

Being in the wedding industry we get to meet and work with some AMAZINGLY talented people. Sometimes we are able to get together outside of weddings and create something super fun to inspire brides and get our creative juices flowing. Although we don’t often share our styled sessions on the blog we thought this one was just too fun and colorful to pass up.
Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!
Enjoy!

Dale Lempa - Cool stuff! I like the natural, warm colors.
mtm studio - Very creative and in fashion. Last one is a winner for me although the one underneath where he is playing the guitar is equally good!
Dewan Demmer - Love the colours and everything just comes together so nicely in each image, and those extra touches really add to the feel. Nicely done.
