Ahhh yes!  Let’s roll the video out from The Knot party!  Here’s where I get to play the wanna-be Ryan Seacrest interviewer and Natalee from A Good Affair is the star of the night.  Again, check out the sweet lounge…it’s awesome.  I did really enjoy the flatbread too, that was delish.  I have to say…Rancho Las Lomas is one of my favorite OC wedding venues.  The beautiful space takes you away from the ruckus and really allows you to focus in on a great celebration.   Again hi-fives to the stellar vendors who gave their time and skills to make this party happen:

A few weeks ago I covered The Knot‘s “Cocktails & Connections” party at Rancho Las Lomas. My friend Natalee from A Good Affair Wedding & Events designed the entire event and she did an amazing job, like super wow awesome.  I also had a great time shooting with  my long time friend Jaimee from Capturing Moments.  Natalee did a stellar job incorporating some warm tones as well as some new metallics… and the sweet lounge was awesome! (I’m a sucker for sugar).

I want to give a huge shout out to all the vendors who gave of their time to make this event amazing:
Invitation Design Studio, Designer 8, 24 Carrots, Immaculate Confections, Classic Party Rentals, Simply Sweet Cakery, Le Cake Bonbon, Lavenders Flowers, Anthony Garcia, Susiecakes, Ice Ice Shavie, Wild Flower Linens, Dolly’s Cotton Candy, Honored Occasions, Espresso Chauffeur, Steve Burdick Events, Sylhouettes by Sylvia, & Allure Ventures.

I can’t wait to post the video that we produced for the Knot! (coming Soon)

Jenny and James are sweet, authentic, people who truly enjoy just being together & I think it shows in their expressions in this engagement shoot. They’re getting married at The Peninsula Beverly Hills in just a few weeks & being from LA, they wanted to do something that represented who they are and a place they love to visit. The location credit goes the couple, good call, I love the Griffith Observatory! I would love to do another 20 shoots there. The light and view of the city are ridiculous! I kept thinking about the classic, Rebel Without a Cause while we were there. It’s definitely one of those spots that takes me back to being a kid and thinking Mr. James Dean was the coolest. Check out a few images from their shoot!

Jenny & James are a sweet couple.  We had a great time working together, they’re so easy going  and  I dig that.  Not only are they sweet humble people, but I have to give it to them, they picked a great song for their slide show! ….is the suspense telling to push play?    I’m looking forward to their wedding in just a few weeks at the Peninsula Beverly Hills!

I’ve known the Kelso family for years and Kori (mom)  has been saying “We haven’t had any family photos for years and years!” Well…we did it.  The Kelso have some new images of their beautiful, sweet family.  I had a blast with them!  We shot in one of my favorite spots in Laguna Beach canyon and the end of the day light was perfect. I hope these hang in their home and remind them of how blessed they are for the next 50 years. P.S. Mom gets the modeling award for this shoot, check out the B&W diptych below!
