We first met Thomas at our office in Pasadena. He was so kind and easy to talk to, and we truly enjoyed his company. We didn’t get to meet Wendy until the wedding day, but  within the first few minutes of meeting her we found out how awesome she is! She is super sweet and has a wonderful sense of humor- which is fantastic because she has the most adorable laugh. I’m sure those are just a few of the things Thomas loves about her.

Wendy and Thomas held their wedding at the Summit House in Fullerton. The grounds at the Summit House are so beautiful and made for lovely backdrops for their wedding photos throughout the day!

As you will see below, their bridal party was soooo fun and full of personality!!! This made for some really good times throughout the afternoon.

Thomas and Wendy: Thank you for the honor of photographing your wedding. Robert and I are so thankful for the pleasure of being invited to celebrate your wedding day with you. We hope these photos make you laugh and smile for years to come and always remind you of your happy wedding day 🙂

Elise & Ariel’s Wedding

We first met Elise at the Wedding Salon bridal show at the SLS hotel about a year and a half ago. Elise and Ariel had only been engaged for about 2 weeks at the time!

Elise and Ariel met in film school. The instructor was giving a 3 point lighting demonstration, and Elise agreed to be the model. She definitely caught Ariel’s eye as he listened with added attention.  Such an adorable “meet cute” for  film school sweethearts. I just love to hear them tell this story!

We attend many many weddings a year, and some are beautiful, some are simple, some are romantic- but our favorite weddings are those like Elise and Ariel’s that are filled with genuine meaning, love, and a personality that is truly their own.  It was really important to them that all of their family and friends be in the moment with them during the ceremony. So they decided to have an “unplugged” ceremony and asked their guests not to be distracted by recording but to take in this moment with their hearts and minds. Without their recording devices, their guests were actively engaged in the ceremony which resulted in much more attention, smiles, laughter, and celebration than most other ceremonies.  It was such an extreme honor to be the ones documenting this important occasion for them. Thank you Elise and Ariel for this privilege.

The wedding was held at The Victorian in Santa Monica and as the ladies got ready upstairs the guys got ready in the “speakeasy” downstairs. Their ceremony was held outside in front of a beautiful museum building  and a hand-made multi-color heart display as a backdrop- the hearts even had googly eyes! The ceremony included not only lovely moments with family and friends but also a special visit from an adorable sock puppet named Aloysius.

So many special moments and details filled the day – below is a snippet of the getting ready, ceremony, and portraits.

Elise and Ariel, we can’t thank you enough for inviting us to photograph your wedding day for you. We have truly enjoyed getting to know both of you over the past year, and we look forward to seeing you both again very soon! We hope that your wedding photos do justice to your beautiful love for each other and your friends and family. Your trust and faith in us means the world to us, and we will never take that for granted.  With Love… Rob and Jess

Faina & Alex’s Malibou Lake Mountain Club Wedding 

Congratulations Faina and Alex!!! You two are such a kind hearted and mellow couple, and we truly enjoyed getting to know over the past several months during the engagement session and wedding day! We hope you enjoyed our company as much as we enjoyed yours.

Thank you Candace of Love is Sweet Events for introducing us.

Faina and Alex were married at the scenic Malibou Lake Club. We started off the day with the girls and guys getting ready, and some of our favorite moments were when they read the notes each had written for the other to read on the wedding day. After everyone was all dolled up, it was time for the first “look”. Faina & Alex didn’t actually want to see each other before the ceremony, so it was quite a bit of fun photographing them together and with the entire bridal party without letting them catch a glimpse of each other.

The ceremony was filled with lots of love and laughter- just the way we like it! Following the ceremony, we got to sneak away with them for a bit to take some lovely photos out by the lake before they headed into the fun filled cocktail hour and reception.

Thank you Faina & Alex for allowing us the privilege of documenting your wedding day! We hope you treasure these photos for years to come and can relive your wedding day over and over again.

Special thanks to the wonderful wedding professionals who made their wedding day so fabulous:
