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!
Here is a sneak peek of what is to come on Thursday!
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!
One of Tonys closest clients owns the car that is in The Entourage opening…soooo it was a great element for Tony and his guys to have fun with!
Thank you Lauren and Tony of inviting Scott and I to capture your most special day! We had soooo much fun!!! Love you two!! Congratulations!!!

The love that Erin and Brian have..so evident in this video.. is out of this world and so inspiring! We had the complete and utter honor of capturing their wedding day on video. The moments these two shared together…the “this is it” moments and “I have never been happier” moments make my cheeks hurt and eyes brim with happy tears. I am so in love with their love for one another!

In 2009, we got introduced to an amazing family. The kind of family that knows every fun fact about eachother..the kind of family that enjoys going to concerts together and will travel far and wide to be there for your childs birth, graduation or just when you are going through hard times. If you have visited our website, you have met Shanelle and Mike and dove into their wedding day. All of our couples know these two…we show their wedding video as a sample and my sample album just happens to be them as well. Needless to say, it was one of our favorite weddings from last year. It’s just so easy to want to show off their wedding…mainly because of the inspirational love, joy and fun that took place that day.
When Shannon, Shanelles sister, informed me that she was getting married to her own Mike, I was ecstatic!! Part of me prayed that I would be asked to photograph their wedding…I just wanted to be invited to the party and hang out with this family again really. When I found out the wedding was going to be in Hawaii and that they wanted me to come along to capture the day, well…I almost crashed my car on the 405 I was so happy.
Shannon and Mikes wedding day was beyond amazing and just a true reflection of who they are and their love for one another. Easy going, fun and intimate are 3 words that come to mind to describe their day. Everyone in this family is so chill…if something goes wrong..it doesn’t phase them. They are so gracious, Shannon ran out in the middle of getting her hair done to let us into the complex when she easily could have asked someone else to do it. They are all there for one another and so present. Everyone in the bridal party made a toast and each one pretty much ended up inaudible due to tears taking over. Honolulu, Hawaii was the best backdrop for their wedding day. The relaxed nature of the culture and the respect and happiness they have for love helped create the perfect setting for the most perfect day!
We feel so blessed to be apart of this family…seriously defines what this life is all about! We love you guys!
I wanted to share Shannon and Mikes special day in album form. I feel that albums tell the story of your wedding day with so much emotion and detail..and its the only way to display your wedding images. Here are a few spreads…feel free to click on the link below to see the full album!

Mahalo!
Jen and Toffy are those people who you just want to know more. Their smiles, laughs, and sincere attention makes you want to move to a different state just to be their best friend. During their beautiful reception at the Parallax Restaurant at McCoy Station on Mammoth Mountain, Jens maid of honor said it so well…when you meet Jen for the first time you can’t help but be a bit jealous of her. She is drop dead gorgeous and her personality is to die for, but all jealousy goes out the door immediately because she is so humble and really one of kindest people you will ever meet, jealousy becomes gratitude for knowing this beautiful soul. Toffy is one of those laid back guys who can have a solid conversation with everyone in the room and is able to spend quality time getting to know someone. He is a gentlemen and treats Jen like a princess. The drive these two have to learn and soak up this beautiful world we live in is infectious and makes me so grateful to know them.
Friends and family gathered Memorial day weekend up in the beautiful mountains of Mammoth, California. Jen and Toffy made sure everyone was greeted with goodie bags that included snacks, water and an info pamphlet of the weekend. The pamphlet is just something so little that shows how big their hearts really are. The first page tells you how to adjust to the altitude and what to do if you get sick, the following pages include everyones numbers incase they need help, scheduled events such as hiking and yoga, directions and restaurant suggestions. HOW STINKIN SWEET RIGHT??! They went above and beyond to make sure their guests had the time of their life, goodie bags, champagne at the top of the gondola ride, yummy food and music…such a wonderful occasion to experience one of the best vacations of your life!
I loved everything about this wedding! I had been anticipating it for a whole year and the day it finally came, it was everything I imagined and beyond! Jen and Toffy dove head first into the creativity process and their vision for their wedding came out perfect! I love when couples get creative and get their hands dirty to make their wedding special…one of a kind. =) To make it even more one of a kind…Mammoth is where Jen and Toffy first met!
Congratulations Jen and Toffy! We were lucky enough to capture the video at this wedding as well, so stay tuned for that soon! Also, head over to GreyLikesWeddings to see a feature that summer did on Jen and Toffys special day!!
Trust is the biggest gift a client can give us. Those people who believe in you from the minute they first make contact are beautiful blessings! Leah and Matt are that kind of blessing to us. When we first started speaking over e-mail about capturing their wedding day on video, there were no questions about what we do, how we work and who we are. They learned all that in our portfolio and our brand..and then proceeded to relate to us and our work and all we had to do was figure out how to make it happen. It was such an HONOR to be commissioned to travel to Pheonix, Arizona for Leah and Matts wedding. Upon meeting them for the first time, they really felt like old friends and we were so ecstatic to be there! They took the time to make sure everyone was having fun but also found the time to soak in their wedding day…observing everything and taking it all in with patience, love and kindness. Their wedding was had so many personal and creative aspects that you didn’t want the night to end! The love Leah and Matt hold for one another can obviously be seen in the teaser video below, it’s kind and endearing..the kind that lasts forever and ever. We are so happy for you Leah and Matt! Have fun in Ireland!!

Meet the Goodwins! Personally, one of my favorite last names in the world, it just has such an optimistic and cheerful vibe to the name, and that describes Bobby and Elsie perfectly! I have never been apart of a wedding where I have witnessed more genuine smiles from a bride and groom than Elsie and Bobby. These two were seriously made for one another and they couldn’t take their eyes off of each other all day! They had a small wedding at Hotel Laguna in Laguna Beach, California. It was intimate and they were surrounded by their closest family and closest friends…who were all sooo excited to be there to witness this amazing occasion! The weather was just like their last name.. both good and a win and they soaked everything in around them..every little detail! The way that Bobby looked at Elsie when she didn’t even know he was looking at her was beautiful and the way that Elsie stood proudly by her husbands side was the perfect fit. Congratulations you two!
