For a few months I’ve been wanting to try out this slideshow. And it’s taken me forever do something but I finally did! So for fun I made a slideshow out of one our most recent ringed sessions with Shawn and Cassie.

I also want to say thank you to our very talented friend, Dustin Shey for letting us use his totally awesome song! You’re the best!

Saturday I got to shoot with one of my favorite photogs, the adorable Jules Bianchi. The wedding was at the beautiful Bel Air Bay Club. I can’t believe it had been a whole year (almost exactly) since I shot with her last! And as usual, it was so fun!

I always like finding cool reflections. This is one of the bridesmaids.

Before they see each other. I like how they’re both looking in opposite directions.

It was windy and her veil looked pretty.

The beautiful bride.

I always think it’s funny when grooms hold the bouquet. And he even smelled it!

It was such a nice day after it had rained a lot the day before. And they’re so happy!

I got to be up on the balcony during the ceremony.

Their cake had coffee beans all around it and on it and the smell was amazing.

This was fun.

This rainy morning we met Ellie and Matt for their ringed session. They live in Nebraska but are getting married in CA. So they had to fly out last night so we could do the shoot this morning and then fly back!! Since it was raining, we decided to go to “The Schneider Ranch” (aka my parent’s house) in The Horse Capital of the USA, Norco.

When we first met Ellie and Matt, we had an instant connection so we knew that this was going to be fun!! Even though it wasn’t at all what we planned, it was even better! I love when that happens!

Howdy!

Her awesome ring designed by Matt. It’s so unique!

They really enjoy each other.

By the little house that my step-dad built out back. I love these flowers my mom planted.

They’re thinking, “I can’t believe we’re doing this while it’s raining!”

Matt loves old cars just like we do so we went by to check it out.

They are so much fun!

I LOVE the feeling of this picture.

Jeremy got these shots of Ellie trying to get Matt to share the umbrella!

Fun with the play toys.

Thanks Ellie and Matt for being such good sports and for coming all the way out. You guys rock!

Monday evening we did a fun fam shoot with the Clarkes. They found this really cool house in Corona and got permission for us to go there. It was really cool and I hope we can do another shoot there!

We started at John’s house since I love their porch.

The siblings: John, Julie and Neil.

I guess you never really grow up!

Jeremy got all these really nice B/W ones:

The siblings with their mom. I don’t know what they’re doing but it made me laugh so I put it up!

The kids with Amy (John’s wife.)

Amy & John. You may remember Amy from all the guest appearances she makes on our blog. And she’s a make-up artist as well.

We loved this old shed/house thing!

Amy and her Mother-in-law. They really like each other!

Pat has a picture just like this when they were little.

Thank you Clarke Family! We had a great time with all of you!

This evening we did a shoot with our friends, Shawn and Cassie. We all live in beautiful Crown Town so we decided to have the shoot at Corona’s new shopping center Dos Lagos. It has some really neat architecture. Shawn and Cassie were fun to shoot and we had a great time!

Jeremy got this gorgeous one of Cassie!

I got this one.

Some people think I take all the pictures. But Jeremy takes good pictures too! (I have to admit I post more of mine because I know what I’m looking for when I blog. Shh, don’t tell him.) He took these:

Cassie looks so graceful. She’s actually a dancer.

It’s like we’re in a beautiful meadow……

or by a cool fence………………..but we’re just in Corona.

Also from the mind of Jeremy.

I can’t believe what amazing eyes she has. I just can’t stop looking at her!

Btw, her hair was done by Melody at hairbymelody@yahoo.com and her make-up was done by Amy at thebridemakers@yahoo.com.

It’s hard work being so beautiful so she had to take a little nap.

God made dirt and dirt don’t hurt.

It’s like their little Dirty Dancing moment. Girls, you know what I’m talking about!

—-Jeremy’s Note To Guys: Always wear underwear to a shoot. There is a possibility with our shooting style that your pants might rip.—–

Thank you Shawn and Cassie for the most unforgettable evening of our lives!
