Pasadena City Hall Engagement Session | Michelle and Daniel

Pasadena City Hall lends itself to a beautiful backdrop for engagement sessions and Michelle and Daniel's relaxed session did not disappoint. We started on the second level of the building and moved towards the front as they got more and more comfortable in front of the camera. You can definitely feel the love between them and it certainly shows in their images. 

Although we can't share too many details of their wedding yet, we do know their wedding is going to be intimate and gorgeous, just like them. We're so grateful to be able to be at the beginning of their lives. We are privileged, or should I say, honored to be able document their wedding later this year at Surf and Sand Resort in Laguna Beach. 

Enjoy these images, friends!

Pasadena City Hall Engagement Photography | Araceli and Jose

View fullsize

Araceli and Jose made this engagement session so easy and flawless. They wanted a bit of architecture with some greenery and as we discussed a few options they agreed that Pasadena City Hall would be the ideal spot. They were so excited as they never took pictures together before this and what better place to share some time alone and begin their married life together! 

They were a little nervous to begin the session (although we don't think so), so be sure to give them some encouraging comments below!

Have an awesome week!

Jandy & Wilson in Pasadena and Downtown LA | Engagement Session

We can't say enough about the couples we meet and have the opportunity to spend time with. From the first time we met Jandy & Wilson we knew we were going to have a blast with these two. For their engagement session we spent some time in the Arroyo Seco area in Pasadena to get some fun, casual shots. The historic architecture and explicit happiness between Jandy & Wilson helped make some beautiful moments!

After hanging it out in Pasadena, it was time to head for some classy fun in Downtown LA...

We don't have enough words to express how much fun we had, but I think you get the gist from this one!!

Jandy & Wilson, we had such a blast with you two!! We can't wait until August!!

You see they both celebrated their 50th birthdays this year and as you can see, they enjoyed every minute of it. Here are a few sneak peeks to enjoy

Happy Thursday!!

Analin & Javier Wedding | 10.15.2011

Gina and I had the honor of assisting Jackie Lamas with Analin & Javier's beautiful wedding day. They are such a beautiful and family-oriented couple, and it showed throughout the whole day. From Analin's mom & dad passing on their advice and love, to her sister's pouring out their feelings with heart-felt words of kindness and wishes for a happy life together. The wedding ceremony took place at St. John the Baptist Church in Baldwin Park. Then we headed over to Pasadena City Hall to take a few portraits of the wedding party. After that it was off to the Diamond Bar Center to partayyyy!!

Here are a few shots we took. It was always a beautiful experience to enjoy two lovebirds join their lives together with family and loved ones.

Congrats Analin & Javi!!

...and a few shots of the kids' reaction to the kissing couple

Congratulations again & may you guys have a happy life full of love and laughter!!
