Los Angeles Photography - { Orange Blossom Special Events }

You know my sweet friend Brooke that I just blogged about? Well, you know how I said she is an AMAZING wedding coordinator? Well I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to photograph her fab team. Orange Blossom Special Events is a fantastic event coordination company that does everything from day of coordination and keeping every thing on schedule and going perfectly, to taking care of the whole planning process for you. Any way you go about it, I would HIGHLY suggest reaching out to Brooke, Christy, and Theresa to help make your big day everything you dreamed it would be! 
If you are one of our couples, or if we have ever met and chatted about your wedding, I've probably told you to only book vendors that you love, and that you will be excited to work with on your big day. I wholeheartedly believe this. With that in mind, I would only suggest people that I would personally want to use as part of my own wedding, and in turn, will suggest to you! And Brooke and her team are the only ones I would suggest for the job...they are not only amazing at what they do, but they are beautiful, sweet as sugar , and fantastic vendor-buddies turned friends! :) 
Okay, so I know this is getting pretty wordy, but I just have to say that I could have DIED over this amazing location! Exposed brick galore, chandeliers, shabby chic furniture, a sweet little courtyard , a rad fireplace,  the most amazing light you have ever seen, and so much more! I told Melissa (who manages the venue) that I was ready to move in if she would let me. It was perfection, and I hope to work there tons in the future! 
I have a whole lot more to say, but I would be surprised if you were still with me after all my chatting ;) , so I will leave you with some super fun pictures of these beautiful ladies and some fantastic details they put into the shoot! 





























Such a beautiful team of wedding pros! :)





So let me just say, these cupcakes from Cupcakes Couture of Manhattan Beach were some of the best I have ever had. Not to mention, gorgeous! Seriously, go get some! (and pick me up a couple too) :)

Los Angeles Wedding Photography - { Brooke & Ari : Married! }

Okay so I have raved about my friend Brooke before. She runs Orange Blossom Special Events and is an amazing coordinator. Not only is she great at making sure weddings go off with out a hitch, but she's also the sweetest friend! I am so happy to say that after working with her, we got to be pretty close and I just LOVE all of our lunch dates,  and time we get to spend together. So I was incredibly stoked to shoot her and her new hubby Ari's day after portrait session! ...and let me just say that Ari is just as sweet as Brooke!

Brooke & Ari - Sean, Jordan and I had so much fun shooting you two, and we SO enjoyed our Philippe's lunch date afterwards! Yum! Thanks again for everything!!

T O T A L hotties!!!


















And I will leave you with a little behind the scene's action for ya! (family addition) ;) We are BEYOND blessed to have such an extremely well behaved little dude that we can bring along when out clients are cool with it! :)

Los Angeles Engagement Photography - { Danielle & Ron : Engaged! }

What's up everyone! This is Sean and this would be my first blog contribution, so be kind! ;)

Our latest engagement session was too amazing for words! From the Berlin Wall, to the diner used in Pulp Fiction, to the wonderful LACMA (L.A. County Museum of Art), to checking out the Green Hornet car, we did it all! What's even better, is it was all on the same street :) Leave it to L.A. for that type of experience right?!

Our newest couple Ron and Danielle were the ideal peeps for this shoot too. They probably love the L.A. look as much as I do. Ron went to UCLA (Go Bruins!!!) and then went on to become a lawyer, and Danielle got her Art history degree from Wisconsin (Badger Fever anyone?), so you know there was a little rivalry picture in there somewhere. 

Ron proposed to Danielle at a picnic at the Santa Ynez vineyard, so we all thought to ourselves, why not recreate it and celebrate some more! 

Also, for you fashion connoisseurs, check out Danielle's blog: www.theculturistas.com . She's got some mean style ya'll! 

So now for the pictures, Ready! Set! and.................ACTION!

(Photo commentary by Blair...it was a team blog post ;) )

A favorite! (there are quite a few of them) ;)

Danielle and Ron are one fierce couple!











Danielle, you are SUCH a hottie!!


Ron, you are pretty darn handsome too!





We were so excited to shoot in front of these light posts at the LACMA , love it!











And I will leave you with one of our very favorite shots of the day, and our last shot of the day.... :)

Danielle & Ron, we seriously can't wait for your big day. We are sure it will be amazing!!
