We have had such a blast getting to know Dyan and Adam! What a joy to be present with them on their wedding day. It truly was a beautiful day! Here is a sneak peek from their wedding... The ceremony took place at Warefarer's Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes and the reception was at the Terranea Resort, two incredibly gorgeous locations. Dyan and Adam had a wonderful team of vendors that helped make their vision come to life, including Mary Sushinski, Debra Meadows and the rest of Mary's team at Occasions, who did the wedding planning. Our beautiful and talented friends, David and Kelsey of Charles Lauren Films did the Videography. DJ Services were provided by DJ Glenn of City Sounds.Thank you to all, who helped make Dyan & Adam's special day so awesome!
We are wishing Dyan and Adam many years of love and bliss as they take this next step in their journey together!!
Much Love, Kristin & Mark

We had a total blast yesterday photographing Laura and Steve's Engagement photo shoot! What an awesome couple!! We love our engagement sessions because it really gives us a chance to get to know our bride and groom before the wedding, when there is more time to have fun and play with them! We had so much fun getting to know Laura and Steve and to meet all of their cute kitties!! Although the spent most of the time hiding from us under the bed, Tidus (pictured below) and Grimm did "allow" us a few photos. I don't think they're ready for Hollywood yet. Thanks Steve and Laura for letting us spend the afternoon with you, rearranging furniture and photographing you in your lovely home! Enjoy your sneak peek! Can't wait to show you the rest! Laura, you looked beautiful!!!

Steve and Laura love Tim Burton, so we used much more dramatic lighting for the photos taken inside, and even incorporated a few of their collectibles into some of the shots.

TIDUS.... enough said.

The architecture in this shot reminds me of something out of Beetlejuice...


I think Steve thought I was crazy when I directed him in this next shot. LOL I hope he can see my vision now in the finished product. LOL Steve??

Love this one... the lighting was perfect!


SO SWEET!!!

Mark and I were blessed to spend Sunday at the beach photographing the wedding of Ben and Heather Alms. It has been such a joy meeting and getting to know them over the past few months. They have a beautiful daughter Madeleine, who we also just adore. The wedding was at the Surf n' Sand in Laguna Beach. Heather looked absolutely gorgeous!! Her hair and make-up were styled by Nicole and Sheryl from David Salon in Costa Mesa.
We wish Ben and Heather many many years of love and happiness together. Thank you so much for allowing us be a part of and to capture your special day!! So much LOVE to you both!!!! Here are a few sneak peeks...
