The gold branches coming out the bouquet make a nice added touch.
Love these photos! Gorgeous couple too! The dress shot makes me want to get married all over again =) Do you think Ira will say yes? By the way, the new blog format is a great change too. Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos.

This past Sunday Robert & I had the pleasure of photographing Ashleigh & Luke's wedding at the fabulous Shade Hotel in Manhattan Beach. Ashleigh & Luke were the first couple to officially hire us to shoot their wedding. When I told Rob the good news, he said "are they on crack?" But in all seriousness we were so honored that I think we may have even been more nervous about the wedding day than they were. We wanted their photos to be amazing after all the faith they had put in us, so we teamed up with some local photographers and actually shot 7 weddings before Ashleigh and Luke's. Check out the results:
Ashleigh's Winnie Couture gown hanging from above the Shade Hotel's second floor balcony...
Luke's Reaction...
The "Magical Jump"
and the "Heisman Trophy"
and this one- PMP!!!:
If you think getting 8-10 people in a group photo is difficult, try 90!!!!
Here's some fun details of their day-
Ashleigh's hot shoes:
I know this is a crazy long blog post, but I would like to also acknowledge all of the great work from the vendors who were a part of Ashleigh & Luke's day:
JoLise and her team at the Shade Hotel
Kerry at de Luxe Weddings & Events
Anne at Pocket Full of Petals
They're both lucky to have each other. I've known Luke since the day he was born, he's always been a kind, wonderful person. His mother would be so proud of the man he is today. He has strong family values. I'm glad his new family has embraced him in the way he was brought up.

This weekend Rob and I attended an open house for one of the OC's newest wedding venues: The Villa San Juan Capistrano. For all you OC brides and grooms who dream of celebrating the sacrament of Marriage at the Mission San Juan Capistrano, then The Villa San Juan Capistrano is the place for you. The Villa is literally across the street from the mission.
The Villa which was built in 1920 has a rustic and very romantic feel. It has many fun little locations for great wedding photo ops. We probably could have posted tons more photos, but here's a few to share.
What are you waiting for? Check it out!
The floral design in the photos below were provided by the ever amazing and fabulous: Square Root.
The lovely and delicious cupcakes were provided by: Frostings Cupcakes .
On a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Murietta, Jason and Tamara took the plunge at an unbelievable location. We had the privelege to shoot their day and it was major fun times! The location was quite remote, and we had to take a fun windy road to get there. Large signs led the way to their venue. The property itself is gorgeous; we couldn't have asked for a better landscape or backdrop to work with!
When we hung out with Jason as he suited up, we couldn't help but notice "I believe in a thing called love" by the Darkness being looped over and over again on his iPhone. It was cute! The property owner is close friends with Jason's parents and happened to be a floral designer as well. Check out the bouquet!
We're experimenting with textures on a few pics so comment us on whether you love it or hate it. =)
The signs to Tamara & Jason's wedding:

I don't like the texture on the last one. The sky is very beautiful and blue to add anything to it, especially "old film" look because the picture itself is way too bright to look old. It might work if you make it black and white or sepia, but I really don't like it on this version. I think the picture is such a nice shot it can stand alone.
