CHIRAG & JESSICA | Downtown San Diego Engagement

Chirag & Jessica met while attending NYU. It was there that Chirag first spotted Jessica in their apartment building and naturally made his move. They are living proof that semi-sober pick up lines actually work! :) After moving from NY to Chicago they decided to celebrate their nuptials in San Diego. So in one week, they had their engagement session, catholic wedding and hindu ceremony!

First, a few snaps from their engagement session! Lots of wedding pics will follow so stay tuned!

NINA & JOHNNY | Beach Session

A recent engagement shoot of a lovely couple! We were truly blessed to shoot such an effortless couple. When we first met with them we explained how some couples have amazing chemistry and need very little direction. They laughed and mentioned they weren’t one of “those” couples. Well, little do they know…they are! :) And we were more than delighted to witness it.

We can’t wait for their wedding at Calamigos Ranch later this year!

SAM & SINA | In the Mood for Love Session

Sam & Sina were inspired by the movie In the Mood for Love and asked that their engagement session be photographed with the same feel. We were more than happy to oblige and had the best time photographing these two! So in love, so romantic and truly made for one another!

TRACEY & JAMES | Dana Point Wedding

Tracey & James were married on the day of the blue moon which very loosely is interpreted as 2 full moons in one month. It’s a pretty rare occurence and I’m just gonna add that it’s probably pretty lucky as well! ;) There isn’t a couple more deserving of this rarity and luck as Tracey & James…truly one of most in love couples we’ve seen!

Here are some of our favorites from their day!

OUT OF TOWN FOR 2 WEEKS

Hello All!

Just a quick note to let you know that we will be out of town from Oct. 9 - Oct. 23. We will have limited access to email so our replies may not come as quickly but be sure that we will be checking our account as often as possible! Hope you all have a fantastic day!

MARVILL & ROCHELLE | San Diego Engagement Session

I have known Rochelle since she was a wee little girl so I was super excited when she asked us to shoot her upcoming wedding to the love of her life, Marvill. For starters I can count at least 3 family get-togethers where Marvill played the aloof card while we joked about Rochelle’s imaginary wedding on Pinterest. Needless to say, I’m thrilled that all those pins will now be a reality! :)

I, for one, can not wait till their big day since we will be surrounded by Rochelle’s family (all of whom I love) and we get more free tickets to Marvill’s gun show. :) I’m sure that was one of the many traits that swept Rochelle off her feet! :)

Here are some of our favorites from their downtown san diego session:

JESSICA & GEOFFREY | Scripps Seaside Forum Wedding

Elegant & gracious are two words that immediately pop in my head when I think of Jessica and Geoffrey. They have a way of making everyone around them feel welcome and appreciated not to mention they give the most sincere hugs…you know, the kind of hug you get from your mom when she’s happy to see you or from a best friend that you haven’t seen in a long time.

Their wedding was full of laughs, fancy dance moves and sweets!!! :) It was the very first time we’ve ever seen fresh pancakes (with cap’n crunch on top no less!) at a wedding. It was a beautiful day that we won’t soon forget!

We also worked with some of our favorite vendors that day:
Venue: Scripps Seaside Forum
Coordinator/Florals : Melissa Barrad
DJ/Lighting: Tim Altbaum Productions
Videography: Joel Crisp
Catering: Coast
Cake: Fab Cakes
Hair: Henna Hair

























TIM & ANNETTE | San Diego Engagement Session

We love it when our clients incorporate a hobby of theirs in their engagement sessions. For Annette & Tim, this hobby was archery! It was definitely a first for us! Tim was even kind enough to show Stan how to shoot a bow & arrow. :) We decided to play up the theme by bringing an apple to their session. So much fun!!!

Check out some of our favorites from this gorgeous couple!
