R & C Engagement Part II {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Wedding Photographer}

Sooooo shoot #1 was for their wedding invitation and to have some pictures of them to display at the reception...this shoot was to show off their fancy traditional Chinese outfits. My Brother's Fiance is from China, and had these made for them there.  Only the best!!!  

Growing up in Santa Clarita, I've never really seen or known about traditional Chinese weddings, so it was really cool to learn more about it.  Red and Gold are a timeless tradition, and made for a beautiful dress for the bride-to-be.  

Here are a few of my faves from the shoot:

The Wedding images are up next : )

R & C Engagement Part I {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Wedding Photographer}

 I have been terribly behind on posting some of my latest work!!!  I guess moving, helping plan a wedding, shoots, and being preggo has gotten the best of me this year.

Now that all of that is over I actually have time to process my thoughts!  
I wanted to share a few of these engagement photos with you.  Although every couple I photograph is special, this one is close to my heart because it's my brother and his sweet fiance!  I was thrilled when they had me photograph them during this special time.

Here are a few of their favorite photos from the shoot:

Part II of their shoot will be revealed shortly!!!

A Chuck Kinda Wedding {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Wedding Photographer}

Meet M & C.  Talk about an awesome couple.  M is obviously beautiful but also super sweet and a talented hair and makeup artist!  That's what I call a triple-threat!  C is totally laid back and real.  And together they are all smiles!  I loved how they couldn't help but laugh with each other whenever they were together.

These were taken at a beach in Carlsbad, Ca...Thanksgiving weekend (can you guess what I was thankful for???).  Perfect weather?  Check.  Beautiful surroundings?  Check.  Adorable couple?  Check.  Easy peasy.   

Next, of course, came the BIG day.  I'm such a sucker for black & white weddings and once I finished processing these I couldn't help but LOVE every single one in b&w.

The Wedding & Reception was held at a beautiful Golf Resort in Carlsbad.  The girls got ready in the Bridal Suite and the guys did their own thing in, well, the guy's room.  The thing I loved about this wedding was that everyone in the Bridal Party had a pair of Chucks.  Each with their name embroidered on the back.  LOVE it!  

Did I mention that day turned out to be one of the coldest days of the year?  Yikes!  Everyone was freezing but put up with the cold so that I could get some shots of everyone together.

 

 They had a classic big white tent for their Reception.  Simple yet elegant.  I loved the giant lanterns, and the Bride & Groom Cake Pops were just darling.

They had one table dedicated to the kids at the reception.  It was decked out with candy and all kinds of fun treats and toys.  One of the things they got in their swag bags were temporary tattoo sleeves to match the Groom.  Once they got them on they couldn't wait to show C and get a picture taken.  Aren't they adorable???

Alas, it was finally time for the newlyweds to call it a night.  I just love weddings and was thrilled to be part of theirs!

Congrats to this lucky guy!  Aren't they adorable?  This couple was so sweet and fun to photograph.  I love engagement and wedding shoots because it's a chance for me to see how much a couple truly loves each other.  You can just see it in the way they look at one another.  They are just OOZING love, right?

  Their engagement session was a fun little precursor to the BIG day at the Los Angeles Temple in Santa Monica.  Even though it was all at the end of the year, we lucked out on the weather (Southern California, what do you expect?) and not to mention the traffic.  Everything just came together perfectly!  The sunset at the end of the day topped it off and gave us the perfect light to shoot into for that romantic, dreamy look that we all like LOVE.
