Evelyn and Dennis held their beautiful wedding at the Westin Pasadena on the 4th of July. It was definitely a warm day, but Evelyn and Dennis were such good sports and braved the heat for lots of photo opportunities.

We first met Evelyn and Dennis when we were introduced to them by Candace at Love is Sweet Events. When we first met we noticed what a super sweet, funny, and adorable couple they were. We had such a blast with them at their UCLA engagement session where we even got to meet their “pet” wombat Chuckster! (Chuckster even made a few cameo appearances throughout their wedding day. So awesome!)

Robert and I enjoyed the wedding day so much and even got to see some fireworks at the end of the night!

Thank you Evelyn and Dennis for trusting us with your wedding day! We can’t wait to share all of your wedding photos with you soon. We hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

Robert and I first met Jessica and her mother Susan at a Bridal Show in 2014. They were both so sweet, and we really enjoyed talking to them and getting to know them. Jessica and Chris live in Ohio, so we got to meet Chris via Skype a bit later. We instantly saw what a brilliant pair Jessica and Chris are! Jessica’s super organized, detailed, and logistic so I loved that throughout the planning process. Chris is very calm, caring, and flexible so he  was such a pleasure to work with and together Chris and Jessica make a wonderful team. They are adorable around each other and that certainly made for beautiful moments throughout the wedding day. We loved capturing Jessica’s happy tears during the first look and her smiles throughout the day. And I must say Chris has the best laugh! You can see how awesome it is in some of the photos below.

On a side note- Chris and Jessica have the coolest parrot named “Mr. Pickles”. Mr. Pickles didn’t get to attend the wedding, but I think he sent one of his bird friends to make an appearance during the bridal portraits on the beach at sunset 🙂

Jessica & Chris, thank you for the privilege of documenting your wedding day. We had the best time with both of you and your friends and family and hope you enjoyed our company too! We hope these photos bring back so many wonderfully happy and beautiful moments form your wedding day that you can relive for years and years to come. <3 Jessica & Robert

Brian and Kayla were married at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point. Robert and I had such an amazing time with them!

April sometimes has iffy weather here in SoCal, but for Brian and Kayla the sun was shining brightly and the winds stayed much calmer than expected which was fantastic. Kayla and her ladies got ready at a family home in San Clemente filled with love and beautiful light. Brian and the guys got ready at an inn near the venue, and Rob had lots of fun enjoying their camaraderie.

Kayla and Brian choose to do their first look on the Jetty near the Ocean Institute in Dana Point. Brian carefully manuevered the rocks to get to Kayla while Rob and I balanced on rocks nearby in one of the most adverturous and exciting first looks we’ve ever seen! Their glances at each other as they embraced and the wind gently caught Kayla’s veil was so beautiful.

We took advantage of the fantastic weather and took photos with the entire bridal party on the Jetty too- before it was time to head to the ceremony.

Their ceremony was so sweet and touching. Definitely some very happy tears in the audience!

As the Golden Hour arrived, we went down to the shore with the newlyweds and encountered the most heavenly light. It was such a magical time of day. We always love documenting these sweet moments after the ceremony when the hustle and bustle of the day is winding down and the couple finally gets some moments to breathe, relax, and just enjoy some time together as new husband and wife. We are so thankful that we got to share these and all of the days moments with them.

Kayla and Brian, we thank you for inviting us to photograph your wedding day. We hope these photos and the others to follow remind you always of the beautiful and special moments of your wedding day. It was an honor to be there with you and your friends and family to celebrate, and we wish you many more happy celebrations in the years ahead. – Jessica & Robert
