Here’s another lovely wedding I second shot with the wonderful Miss Adrienne Gunde!  Liv and Greg had such a gorgeous DIY wedding at the LA River Center & Gardens.  And when I say DIY, Liv really takes the cake on this one – from hand dyeing all the bridesmaids dresses to baking her own wedding cake!  As Liv later mentioned in her “thank you” speech, her wedding diy projects didn’t always go as planned but Greg was always so supportive and helpful throughout it all. *swoon*

Sooo in love with Jess & Rich’s rustic outdoor wedding at Brookside Equestrian Center in Walnut!  It was such a lovely day and Jess & Rich are so sweet together!  Although I had just met them that day, I could tell that they were so much in love.  Thanks Adrienne Gunde for having me along to shoot such a sweet couple with you!

This post is long overdue but I still wanted to share Connie & Ryan’s awesome ghost town Day After Session!  I had so much fun shooting here again…there are so many cool little spots to take pictures.  And I loved Connie’s bright yellow coat and shoes!

Thanks again to Erich Chen for having me along to photograph Connie & Ryan’s wedding & day after session!

Such a fabulous party put together by Shiri in celebration of her daughter’s 1st birthday.  I loved the fun yellow & purple color theme, and all the details & desserts were just too cute!  I especially loved the adorable mini smash cake Ryan got to dig into after everyone sang Happy Birthday to her!

Happy 1st Birthday, Ryan!
