Wedding Photography & Cinematography

We are storytellers. There are plenty of stories out there to tell. Let us tell yours!

Our photographic and cinematic philosophy balances contemporary with traditional, where fashion, fine art, photojournalism, and vintage appeal come together in perfect harmony. When words fail to describe the beauty of a moment, cinematic imagery takes its place. Our expertise and creativity culminate into imagery that captures the whole story and the genuine emotion. We are outside-the-box thinkers who know how to find and capture the magic.

Carrie & Mark were married aboard the “Eternity” in Newport Beach.  Although the forecast had called for a chance of rain earlier in the week, the weather was beautiful and the sky amazing!  

Here is a sneak peek from their wedding day:

Carrie’s Gorgeous Wedding Gown

Carrie is the 14th grandchild, so she was given this beautiful handkerchief by her grandparents embroidered with a special message and the #14.  The ring pillow below the handkerchief was sewn by Carrie’s mother and made from both of her grandmother’s wedding dresses. So sweet and touching.

A Lovely Bella Collina Wedding:
Courtney & Mike were married at the lovely Bella Collina in San Clemente, CA.  The day began with a very unusual Southern California hail storm. Yikes! But by wedding time the hail had moved on and the sun was shining bright. Our team, which included Peyton and Kevin as well, had such an blast at their wedding!
Courtney & Mike are such a sweet and adorable couple. They are gorgeous people inside and out.  I’m sure all the guests could see how incredibly in love they are and that they were on Cloud 9 celebrating with all of their friends and family.
We had the chance to work with the wonderful ladies at de Luxe Weddings and Events who did an amazing job coordinating and designing all of the details and working with us to squeeze in as many photos as we could!  We also got to enjoy working with Luke Sensebe from Premiere Events Group who rocked the party!
Special thanks to Tanja Janjic from Bella Collina for giving us the grand tour and for making sure we were taken care of on wedding day.
The florals were created by The Flower Girl.  The guests were well fed by Jay’s Catering.
Now onto the photos from Courtney & Mike’s Special Day…. 
 
P.S. We also had our cinematographer Kevin along with us for Courtney & Mike’s wedding day, so make sure to check out the Teaser from their day below.

Courtney got ready with her bridesmaids and her mother Joann in the Ladies Locker Rooms at Bella Collina.

Then the ladies headed over to the organic garden for some bridal party photos at the trellis.

Meanwhile Rob was over with the guys for some getting ready photos and the groomsmen portraits.

Apparently the guys wanted to see if they would be able to catch Mike if he ran away.

 But for those who know Mike- they know that if he were running anywhere on the wedding day, it would be toward Courtney <3.

Courtney had spotted a pitchfork while we were out photographing the bridesmaids. We just had to work it into a photo. LOL. So here’s our take on “American Gothic”.

Courtney & Mike let us sneak them out of their reception for a few minutes to capture this Night Portrait.

And they had some fantastic sparklers so we couldn’t resist a little light painting!  Check out that heart. Nice work guys.

Sharon & Fred’s Wedding: Part 2

Sharon & Fred stayed at the beautiful Blue Lantern Inn, in Dana Point, CA for their wedding night.  We had the opportunity to take a few beautiful bridal portraits of them before heading over to Cannon’s Restaurant for their ceremony & reception.

Although we had scoped out the beach just a few days before the wedding, the beach was crazy bright and insanely windy and cold on the wedding day. But Sharon & Fred are troopers and braved the jetty long enough for Robert to capture this photo.

We were able to sneak Sharon & Fred out of their reception for just a few minutes and take them to the Blue Lantern Inn next door for these photos.

It wouldn’t be a wedding without an official toast to the happy couple.
