Kate is a rad bride. She is also an awesome make-up artist and a sweet person.
   Kate reminds me of a movie star from Old Hollywood.
 The man of honor gets emotional as his best friend gets ready.
I love this moment – the bride’s mom beams as Kate checks herself out in the mirror.
Kate is ready for the first look!

Kate and Eric are a hip couple who love the city. We chose the Arts District in Los Angeles for their awesome engagement session. We meet at one of my favorite buildings.
This is Lulu. She is Kate and Eric’s sweet pitbull. I love including dogs in an engagement session!
Lulu is super well-behaved and patient. Good doggie!
Look at these awesome lucha libre masks! I love this couple!
We stop by Union Station for a few photos.
Lulu looks like Batman.
Thank you Kate and Eric for a fun session!
Many of my favorite photos are the ones no one sees me taking. Celene and her sisters are so focused on bustling her wedding gown that they don’t know I’m there.
P.S. This is my weekly blog post Encore! When I blog about a wedding, I want all the photos to tell a story. Sometimes photos I love don’t quite fit, or I decide to edit them differently. Encore! will feature one (or two!) of those photos every Friday. When I heard “circus themed stylized shoot in a ghost town” I was in. You might remember Erica and Dustin’s vintage circus wedding on my old blog. I was excited to explore the theme even more. Emma + Josh organized a styled shoot with six models in Nelson, a ghost town about an hour outside Las Vegas. Nelson has several old barns full of vintage signs, rusty lanterns, and abandoned artifacts of yesteryear. This was a challenge for me photographically as we started with the sun overhead – my least favorite time of day for photography. I also didn’t have much one-on-one time with the models, which is different from the way that I prefer to work. Since I love challenging myself and trying something different, this shoot fit the bill perfectly. It was a real treat to work with these amazing models. Renee, the stylist, and Liz, hair and make-up, both did a superb job. And I had a great time making new photographer friends. I only wish we could have stayed longer in the desert. If you’d like a portrait session – or your wedding – in a ghost town let me know! If Las Vegas is too far, there are some great locations near Los Angeles as well.
I love the bridal bouquet from Melissa of Crazy Daisies. Gorgeous!
Christine is not only a beautiful and fun model, she is also a photographer.

Diana and John were legally married for ten years before getting married in the church of their faith. This is my favorite image from their wedding ceremony at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. It is not the vows, or the first kiss, or the happy recessional, rather it is a quiet moment of prayer, watched over by all the saints. Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.
