Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Vanessa & Brian's Engagement Session

It was definitely a beautiful, autumn day at Humphrey's Estate in Temecula... the day we chose to photograph Vanessa & Brian's engagement session.  The colors were incredible!
When we first started to photograph them, Vanessa had concerns because taking pictures is not Brian's favorite thing to do (which is the case for most guys).  However, by the end of the day, Brian actually told us what we love to hear most from guys like him... he actually had a lot of fun! Yay!!!

Brian is a train engineer,  and when he saw the property had train tracks, he lit up like a kid on Christmas morning.  So, of course, we snapped a few pictures of them on the tracks.
We love it when we can incorporate the couple's personalities and lifestyles into their images.  Mission accomplished!

We hope you enjoy their slideshow that we put together.  Vanessa & Brian: We had a blast working with you, and we look forward to seeing you again on your wedding day!

Kimberly + Billy: Engaged!

We always have such a fun time photographing engagement sessions, but with Kimberly & Billy, we REALLY had a fun time!!! They are such a sweet & happy couple.  In love with life & in love with each other, which made their pictures both playful & romantic.  

We photographed their pictures at Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula.  It was the perfect time of year to photograph in the vineyards.  Even though it was a little cold, the vibrant, fall colors made for a beautiful background.  

Kimberly & Billy: Again, congratulations on your engagement! We CAN'T wait until your wedding! We hope you enjoy your slideshow:

Colleen & Todd's Wedding Day

As wedding photographers, each wedding is filled with all kinds of surprises!  When we arrive at a wedding, we are prepared for whatever awaits us… whether it is a calm, smiling bride or a nervous, anxious bride…. regardless, it is an emotional experience for everyone we will be photographing.  It is always a beautiful display of love, of gratitude, and celebration of life!  

Colleen was the bride everyone wants to be.  She was so calm and soaked in every moment.  One of our favorite moments was when they saw each other.  Her fiance, Todd's reaction was so genuine and loving.  

We met Colleen & Todd through Todd's brother, Tim.  We photographed Tim & Mandi's engagements & wedding in 2010.  

Colleen & Todd's  wedding was so beautiful, they had planned it out perfectly.  It was held at the Hyatt Hotel in Newport Beach.  

We are so thankful to have celebrated with Colleen and Todd and their families & friends!  We hope that they continue to soak up the sweet moments that every day brings to them!
