2012 in Moments

Twenty-twelve was a pretty incredible year! As I sit here reliving the last 12 months, I feel oddly proud. Proud of how far I’ve come, proud to call many of my clients friends, proud of not giving up when it was difficult, but mostly I feel honored to have been part of over 26 weddings. I’ve literally laughed, cried, and danced my way through each celebration and I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend the year!

To my incredible couples, families, and friends; thank you for your trust in me, my photography, and for allowing me into your lives! It really means the world, and each of you holds a very special place in my heart!

I will forever remember the little moments of 2012 that made my heart skip a beat…

Rachelle Hobbs - Congratulations on another successful year! I hope 2013 exceeds your expectations and brings you one step closer to your wildest dreams!!

The Ladies of Look

Can you believe it’s already the end of December? The last few months have flown by and the New Year is right around the corner! Since this will likely be my last post of 2012, I wanted to share a few favorites from a super fun shoot I did with the lovely ladies of Look Hair & Makeup Studio. Katie and Sienna are such beautiful people, inside and out. They also happen to be amazing hair and makeup artists (Katie has cut my hair for over 6 years), so naturally I couldn’t wait to return the favor and get them in front of my camera.

Eclectic Irvine Duck Club Wedding: Sammi + Jeremy

Sammi and Jeremy hold a very special place in my heart, and it’s hard for me to even think of them as clients anymore – they have become friends! Through the last few months I’ve seen their wedding evolve – from a crazy cool engagement shoot, to the dress, and even table arrangements. So when their big day was finally here, I found myself EXTRA excited to be a part of their wedding!

Every element of their celebration was a group effort, with family and friends pulling together to create the decor, lighting, desserts and even the entertainment. It was an unforgettable day, full of surprise performances, red lipstick, and lots of love!

I LOVE Sammi’s reaction during the surprise performances, and the red lipstick on Jeremy’s cheek!;)

Getting Ready: Hotel Laguna  |  Venue: The Irvine Duck Club  |  Wedding Dress: Stephanie James Couture  |  Hair: Erik McEwen Makeup: Selin Mehrabian  |  All details, design, lighting, and coordination was created by family and friends – love that!

How to plan a “picture-perfect” wedding

I LOVED being a bride! After years of working behind the scenes I was thrilled to start planning my own wedding. I quickly learned that even with my industry experience, planning a wedding was a whole different ball game! It was exciting, frustrating, time consuming, but in the end completely worth it. Now that my wedding has passed, I want to share my experience as not only a photographer, but as a bride. In the coming months I hope to post more tips and tricks for couples in the thick of their planning.

Today I am beyond excited to share an article I wrote for Every Last Detail all about planing your “picture-perfect” wedding. Check out these simple tips that ANY bride can apply to her wedding planning HERE.
