Andrea and Paul

Posted on May 20, 2011


Oh so happy to finally share Andrea and Paul’s wedding day here on the blog!!  They exchanged vows in the company of friends and family, and their incredibly adorable children on April 30th, here in Santa Clarita.  The ever charming Jeff Shapiro opened up his home and backyard for the venue, and I really think he should consider renting it out on a regular basis – it was gorgeous!  ;)    Without further ado, here are a just a few of my favorites from the day (special thanks to Amy Teegan for second shooting and Julie Anderson for third shooting) ~ be sure and scroll to the end to see a slideshow with more images from their beautiful day…..

Leslie & Dan ~ Beach Engagement Shoot

Posted on May 3, 2011

I was so excited for Leslie when she told me she was getting married….and even more excited when she asked if I’d shoot their engagement photos.  I’ve known Leslie for about 12 years….and I can honestly say that she looks exactly the same now as she did then.  I will try to hide my bitterness about that for the purpose of this post ;)

Of course, I’m teasing…she’s an amazing woman and I’m so happy for her and Dan.   May they have a lifetime of happiness together…

Check out their engagement session that we shot at one of their favorite beaches, Trump National Golf Course.    And what would an beach session be without a ridiculously cute dog too, right?  Their dog Parker is such a natural in front of the camera ;)   To see more photos, check out their slideshow.
