Temecula Wedding Photography - { Stephanie & Louie : Married! }

To say that we LOVE Stephanie and Louie would be an understatement. These two are so fun and down to earth....and their wedding day reflected their personalities perfectly. We got to Monteleone Meadows and we were so excited about this adorable venue! Stephanie and Louie did a first look on an adorable dock (and first looks always mean a calm , easy day) , and the day just flowed so perfectly with lots of time for plenty of portraits in the most dreamy light. Speaking of portraits....Sean had noticed an old rope swing while checking out the venue, and casually mentioned it to Stephanie as we were doing their formal portraits , and Stephanie exclaimed "Where is it!? I am so getting on it!" , and that ladies and gents - its how to get some super fun portraits (some of my favorites I have ever taken, by FAR!) . 

Stephanie and Louie, thank you SO much for choosing us to be part of your day. We had SO much fun and felt so lucky to be there. You two are such a rad couple and we seriously want to hang out with you two again super soon! :) Enjoy your preview!!

Stephanie is beyond beautiful!

 And Louie is pretty darn handsome too! 

How fun is this group portrait of all of their wedding guests!? So fun!!

Such a beautiful couple! :)

A few of this fantastic rope swing that we SO loved!

Honestly, Stephanie you are the best for being so fun, and so willing to have a good time in a wedding dress! :)

Orange County Family Photographer - {The Brown Family - Mini Session!}

I was so excited when Christine signed her sweet family up for our Holiday Mini Sessions! I had a great time hanging out with the Brown family and following the kids around on their adventures again!

Thinking about having holiday photos taken of your family? The mini sessions are over, but there is still time to squeeze in a portrait session and get cards in time for the holidays! Just get in touch for more info! :)

Love this picture of Aurora checking out these soft little flowers :)

You are beautiful Christine! :)

San Juan Capistrano Engagement Photography - { Kayla & Eric : Engaged! }

Kayla and Eric are just straight up down to earth, fun, awesome people. Thats the truth. 

When we first met over the summer I was SO excited about them. Their summer wedding plans sound so sweet and perfect, but more than anything I am pretty darn excited to just celebrate with these two at their intimate wedding. I cannot wait. 

But I am clearly getting ahead of myself! So we met up and I photographed these two at Mission San Juan Capistrano , it was my first time shooting there (and hadn't visited since I was a kid) . I got there a little early after my drive and explored a bit....and I was floored. This place is packed full of amazing little spaces and TONS of beautiful texture! Needless to say, I had a bit of a field day! :) 

Kayla & Eric, I am seriously so excited to call you two friends, and just cant wait to celebrate your love on your big day! Hope you enjoy your preview! :)

Here are some of my favorites from their engagement session:

When I was exploring before the couple got there, I snagged this little gem :)

One of my favorites!

Kayla, you are STUNNING.

Apparently all of this amazing texture put me in a serious black and white mood ;)

 Ummmm yeah. Seriously, just sexy. Beautiful and sexy. 

Don't know about you, but this little diptych kinda makes me melt. Love these two!!!!

This smile could light up a room!
