We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day for Aram and Arthur’s wedding.  The sky was blue, the clouds were amazing, it wasn’t too hot.. really, in Southern California what more could you ask for? A smoking hot bride with a gorgeous dress and rockin’ shoes? Check.

Such a handsome groom!  Oh.. wait…

I can’t give enough praise to my amazing 2nd photographer, Jeremy Chou, who spent the morning with Arthur and his groomsmen.  He got some of the most clever shots.  I just adore Arthur’s cell phone.  And if you notice.. even though the bride and groom slept in separate parts of town, they had matching pajamas.  Are you kidding me?  Too cute.

Onto the dress with help from sister-in-law to be, Alexa, who’s wedding I shot nearly 2 years ago.  How is that possible?

Time to go see the groom.

Time to get married!

We took a few more with the wedding party before sneaking off for a few on our own.  Of course we also brought Orlando complete with his bow tie!

Party time!

Aram’s close friend sang a song for everyone at the wedding.  She had the most incredible voice.  Then she gave a speech in Korean to Aram that had everyone crying.  Aww…

At Charles’s wedding, Arthur was the seat for Alexa.  They figured it was only fair for him to play the part at this wedding.

Seriously out of all the weddings I’ve done I’ve never seen three men so eager for the garter.  Am-a-zing.

A bride taking photos at her own wedding?  Ha! She partied too.

Congrats you two!!!

When Ryanne & Erich suggested an engagement session in the woods my head immediately swirled with ideas.  Erich, having grown up in the area, had this amazing spot in mind.

Nothing like a picnic in the woods.

Time for a change!  Being a dress kind of girl, I’m typically partial to dresses at engagement sessions but Ryanne sure knows how to pull of a pair of jeans & boots.  Have I mentioned I love my clients?

And one more change, a silly one!  Matching shirts, jackets and even chucks.  I think this one totally expresses these two… completely inseparable!  Erich says “we’re going to be one of those couples that a groom sees this session and says ‘honey you’re not going to make me do that are you?’”  Ha!  And ladies, it’s perfectly ok to say yes I am!

Ah!  You two are too adorable.  I can’t wait for your wedding later this year!

If this first photo doesn’t tell you how much fun the D family was, I don’t know what would.  I seriously had a blast hanging out with them.  Little Michael is a ball of energy.. if only I could bottle that…. hm…

Of course Mom and Dad had a get a few of just the two of them.  They were high school sweethearts!  It is so cute to see a couple still so totally in love after so much time.

In case you couldn’t tell from the previous photos, Michael is ALL boy.  I just loved his baseball cap and shirt (even if it is a Dodgers hat… bleh) He also loves cars and dirt, like I said, alllll boy.

I had the opportunity to photograph this amazingly fun themed fundraiser – casino theme!  It was held at the Oakmont Country Club in Glendale, California.

So many amazing details!

There were tons of prizes to be won…

…and even bingo!

You may remember this family from this session.  I still can’t believe it’s been six months since I last photographed them, and I can’t believe how the girls have grown!
