Jordan + Josh’s amazing wedding at The Ocean Institute is in the Fall issue of The Knot!

The wedding season is still in full swing around here, and we have been so blessed with shooting + traveling so much recently, but I feel I haven’t had too much time to keep up with blogging! There are so many things I still need to post about and many awesome weddings that I can’t wait to share. This week, my little brother is getting married, and I’m so unbelievably excited for him. Isaac and I are in the bridal party, so it’s going to be very interesting being on the other side. I’m going to try my best not to pick up my camera and start documenting everything! Now onto our post…a while back we did a full day mentor session for Nancy, who was just starting out in her photography business. We focused on developing a shooting style, learning how to nail exposure quickly while working in the field and using/harnessing natural light, and what it takes to start a small business. She’s such a sweet and amazing woman, and we had so much fun that day! Jordana + Mike were our awesome model couple for the afternoon! We love these two and can’t believe their wedding at Darlington House in San Diego is just right around the corner!

Mariko + Mike are awesome…and two of the nicest people ever, and they’re both doctors, and they are madly in love! Crazy huh. I for one think a reality show about their lives would be amazing. I loved all the props they brought, including the “love” cookies that Mariko made… love is even better with sprinkles!

Sandy and Dave are such beautiful people. They are both wedding photographers themselves, and they picked one of my favorite Los Angeles venues, the Adamson House in Malibu, so we knew everything would be picture perfect! Between the serene ocean view, sunny Spring day, and the lovely and crisp yellow + white decor, the day was not only gorgeous, but an amazing celebration of their love! Here are just a few of my favorite images from the day….oh, and the delicious dessert display with cake lollipops and cupcakes was by Melody of Sweet and Saucy Shop! So delicious!
