Wes + Mika’s Engagement - February 23, 2010

Thursday, February 25th, 2010 | Engagements | No Comments

Hi everyone! On Tuesday I shot an absolutely fantastic engagement session with Mika and Wes at their wedding site, the Hotel Maya in Long Beach. The location was great, with lots of colors and inspiration, and the lovely couple was totally willing to try out all my ideas. I couldn’t be happier with how the pics turned out! Please enjoy some of my favorites below.

Don’t usually post two versions of the same picture on this blog, but in this case I thought they were so different (plus, I couldn’t decide which one I liked better!) that I might as well.

Yep, this was a Valentine’s Day wedding, and it was lovely and loving and sweet and romantic and everything good associated with this little holiday. David and Mendy were married at Etiwanda Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga before a small group of friends and family. Mendy was radiant in her gown and David was as proud and happy as a groom can be. I really enjoyed shooting this wedding, and I hope you enjoy these shots. Happy Valentine’s Day!

So, to wrap up the month I had this e-session with the lovely Anita and her fiance Jason around where they live in Murrieta, CA. We went to a local neighborhood park first, got some shots there, and then went to Harveston Hill where there was an absolutely beautiful sunset happening over the lake. Anita and Jason were really fun and adventurous and I can’t wait for their wedding in May!

Sara and Mike are having their wedding in April at the same church where Andrea and I just got married, St. Denis Catholic in Diamond Bar. How cool is that? They chose to have their engagement session at Laguna Beach, and, I must say, it was an excellent decision. The weather was perfect, the setting was gorgeous, of course, and the couple (and myself) had a really fun time. Enjoy the pics!

Hey everybody! Well, Andrea and I got married on the 17th of October, we’re back from our honeymoon, and I thought I would post some shots I took of her on our big day. We snuck away during our reception for a few minutes so we could do pictures Ryan Bethke Photography-style. Our wedding was at the Mission Inn in Riverside, and the decor fit the style of our wedding perfectly. Hope you like them!

Hello, I know it’s been ages but I once again have a wedding to post, and I honestly think it was one of the best I’ve had the honor and pleasure of photographing. Stephanie and Gary had their crafty, handmade, vintage-inspired wedding at the Mitten Building in Redlands, CA, and also did some portraits at the University of Redlands. All in all, it was a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding. Congratulations and thanks to the bride and groom (especially the bride) for being totally committed to the style of the wedding. It really made for some great pictures. Enjoy!

Hello, flew back to Boston for the weekend to shoot this wedding in Hanover, NH at Dartmouth College. The style of the wedding was vintage chic. Matt and Allison were really fun to work with, and I loved their fun, vintage style. I love it when a couple brings some of their own ideas for what they want, but are also willing to indulge me and my vision ;-). Thanks, Matt and Allison. Congratulations!

Hello everyone! I shot this wedding on my very last day in Boston. I literally got on a plane early the next morning bound for California, where I am now with Andrea, my fiancee. But it was a really fun wedding, with a lot of dancing! It was a great crowd, and I also loved shooting the couple out by the golf course. I have one more wedding to shoot still back on the east coast, and then I will officially be a west coast wedding photographer! Anyway, enjoy the pics!
