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.

Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club is a lovely venue, that honestly,
until a couple of weeks ago Robert and I did not even know existed.  We didn’t want you to miss out on this
place, so we thought we would share it with you here on our blog.


If you are
still looking for that perfect Southern California wedding venue, this is one
place you should seriously consider checking out. 


Kerry Pulverman of de Luxe Weddings and Events invited us to
the
Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club Bridal Show, and we fell in love with this venue.  Here are just a few of the photos we
captured during our visit. Hopefully, you’ll get some floral inspiration here too!

A big thanks to Alyson Gabaldon, the Catering, Sales, & Event Manager for showing us around!

I
don’t know about you, but I am so excited that the weekend is finally here!  And this is not just any weekend, but
it’s Mother’s Day weekend.  So… I
thought I would give you an idea for some fun. 

Robert
and I recently visited The Flower Fields in Carlsbad, CA, and I have got to say
it was such a nice break.  The
fields span 50 acres of color filled beauty.  How could you go wrong?

The
Flower Fields
would make a fabulous place to take your mom for a little
Mother’s Day treat.  Oh, and the
Carlsbad Premium Outlets are right next door, if you want to finish off your afternoon
with some shopping 🙂

If
you are looking for a sweet and romantic place to take your significant other
definitely check out The Flower Fields. 
This is actually the last weekend of the 2010 season. 

To
all of our brides and grooms, take a break from all the wedding planning this
weekend and head back to nature! 

To
all the moms who read our blog: HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Fall Wedding Inspiration: A Rustic Romance in the Vines


For those of you who may not know, Robert and I were married at the lovely Ponte Winery in November 2008. 

We always enjoy visiting Ponte Winery.  Whenever we need a break from all the chaos that is life in the OC and LA, Ponte is a great place to head, to get back to nature and just relax.

Recently, Kerry Pulverman of de Luxe Weddings & Events invited us to participate in a photo shoot with her.  Below are the photos from the tablescape Robert and I  like to call: A Rustic Romance in the Vines.

I figure many of our Fall brides are currently working on their themes and floral design, so I thought this might give you some inspiration to draw from.  Of course, when your wedding rolls around you will have the gorgeous Autumn leaves of red, orange, yellow, and green.  Rob and I just adored the look of the vineyard for our November wedding.  There is really nothing like it.

We would like to give a special thanks to Kelly Manson of  The Olive Rose for her beautiful Fall inspired floral design and kind collaboration.  

To learn more about the design behind the shoot, check out Kerry’s Blog.

I can just imagine a romantic guy proposing to a super lucky girl, while we hide behind the Fall leaves hanging from the vines and sneak in a few photographs of the Engagement.

How much more romantic can it get being all alone out among the vines and the beautiful surrounding landscape?

To create a Fall feel, Kerry chose chocolate brown and silver linens.  Kelly chose to complement that with florals of orange and red tones, with hints of yellow and green.

Fresh flowers such as Cymbidium Orchids make a nice adornment to your napkins and charger plates.

Below are a couple of Robert’s Artistic edits.  We love to create custom edits to transform those photos into more dramatic pieces.

I love Rob’s interpretation of this photo.  The Rustic tones of this photo truly complement the theme of this tablescape.
