It’s hard to believe that Southern California ever sees snow. Or that one minute we can be in a blustery winter wonderland and in an hour can find ourselves digging our toes into the sand in front of a glittery ocean as the sun kisses our skin. Only in Southern California can you find the beach, the woods, the snow, and the desert all within a couple hour drive. It’s rare to get snow on the ground here, but when it does happen we HAVE to take advantage of it!

I have the honor and privilege to photograph so many beautiful weddings. What makes a wedding beautiful? Well, all weddings are beautiful in their own rights. The simple fact that two people who love each other so much that they come together to celebrate the next stage in their life, a lifelong marriage, is what makes all weddings beautiful. An added bonus to any wedding are well thought out details. Brittani and Rodney’s wedding will go down as one of my favorite weddings in 2016 because the details were just incredible!
 

Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, but they are nonetheless beautiful and special. As you plan your “big day” it’s up to you and your spouse-to-be to decide what kind of wedding you want. Do you want a big soirée where friends and family will gather to celebrate your nuptials? Do you want something smaller and intimate? Maybe even perhaps a destination wedding? Maybe you want to elope, just the two of you and an ordained officiant? However you choose to celebrate your love, this day is about the two of you!

Katrina and Kyle’s wedding at The Colony House is definitely one for the books! These two took a traditional wedding, and added some serious spunk to it. Besides having great taste and style, this wedding was full of original ideas! One of my favorites was the 90’s cover band, SEGA Genecide. Confetti Skies did a fabulous job styling and helping the day run smoothly.

Manisha and John’s wedding was so elegant and fun! I am honored that they included me on their special day, and that I had the opportunity to really soak in their Hindu culture. The rich, vibrant colors made me a little weak in the knees. Let’s not forget my slight obsession with hands. So, when Manisha requested lots of photos of her Henna tattoos, I gladly obliged.
