Cristina and Joe: out and about in Monrovia

September 2nd, 2010

There is just something about Cristina and Joe that makes me feel like I have known them forever. We met in a coffee shop to talk about commissioning Floataway Studios for our videography services and I asked…”if you guys don’t mind me asking..do you have a photographer?”. They said no..something had come up with the one they were intending to use and have been having bad luck finding one…because lets face it..the search, especially here in Southern California can be a wee bit difficult. I asked them who their favorites were…just so happened to be some of mine. =) I just knew that our team, both photo and video, would be the perfect fit for them..and I told them that. I was praying so badly that we would all get to work together! Thankfully, they saw we all would be a perfect fit as well and Scott and I get to document their wedding with both photo and video!

Cristina and Joe have two of the most handsome little boys you will ever meet! The love and bond that Crisina and Joe have created through this loving family of 4 is so amazing, and now they are tying the knot. I know their wedding is going to be one filled with lots of fun family, friends and really special moments. We strolled around the town that they live in called Monrovia, a place that truly means alot to them because it is where they have created their lives and their beautiful family and home together.

Maureen+Jackman

August 18th, 2010

ohhhh just thinking about Maureen and Jackman put a huge smile on my face! I love everything about these two. They way they make eachother laugh, the way that Maureen sits back while Jackman drools over his new car, the way that Jackman watches Maureen while she talks, the way that they are up for anything…I could go on! We spent the afternoon in the hills of Malibu and then brought it down to the ocean, where once again I had one of those amazing realizations, that this is my “job”…oh man..I am a lucky girl! Thank me for not posting the 60 images from this session I fell in love with..I will leave you with the following. Can’t wait for your wedding Maureen and Jackman!

Liv+Heath: before the knot

August 3rd, 2010

Usually, when commissioning a couple, we have the opportunity of creating portraits of the two during an engagement session. For Liv and Heaths wedding, we got to do something special. They had a small intimate wedding in the Hollywood Hills (you will see more of that on Thursday) and invited 35 of their closest friends and family members…many of whom flew in from over seas for this amazing event. Having done that, they went all out to make sure everyone had the most amazing time! They rented this amazing mansion, hired an amazing personal chef, and showed everyone a good time. They asked us if instead of their engagement session, if we could go to the house where everyone was staying (also the wedding site) and capture everyone in their element having fun and being together. It was such an amazing experience and we had so much fun capturing the photo and video of this day and getting to know this amazing family. They got to show some of photos and video we captured during a special feature in the houses movie theater the day of their wedding, which made it even more special and intimate. It was a wonderful project to be apart of!

Lauren+Tony: A Backyard Wedding

July 29th, 2010

There is just something so special and real about Lauren and Tony. They just get each other and after many years together they still know how to have a good time in each others company! Their first look gave me butterflies and it was truly a special moment. From the first time I met Lauren, I instantly clicked with her and when she began telling me her dream of her wedding…mismatched china plates and vases, backyard wedding, beginning of summer…I fell in love. The best part of their wedding and what made it the most special…Lauren and Tonys friends and family. They all chipped in and worked extra hard at making this the most special and unique wedding for Lauren and Tony…because they deserve nothing less. =) Their reception was held in their neighbors backyard…yes that’s right..neighbors…who had the time of their lives hosting this lovely occasion full of amazing cakes, sparklers and lots of dancing! Lauren and Tony were so grateful for everyone who surrounded them and went out of their way to make sure that everyone was enjoying themselves to the fullest!
