It was one of the most beautiful days I’ve seen in a long time. And it couldn’t have been more perfect for this sweet couple, Claudia and Preston.

I couldn’t get enough of this church, as you’ll see…



Oh nothing. Just one of my favorite pictures ever.






Long veils? Yes please!

It was such an honor shooting Gabrielle + David’s wedding at The Universal City Hilton and hearing their story. They have really funny things in common like: both only children, both their dads owned a bail bonds business and were named Gary. They met at a party and one month later, he deployed. He’s been to Iraq two times. They had a long distance relationship for four years and here they are! My favorite thing about this wedding was during the toasts, one of the bridesmaids shouted out, “Thanks for serving our country!” and everyone got up and applauded. It was really an awesome moment I’ll never forget.

Thank you David for serving our country and thank you both for sharing your day with me.

He surprised everyone by wearing his Dress Blues.

Such pretty light for the ceremony.

Fun wedding party.

Brandon + Kristen, a couple who I just adore and referred this wedding to me! Love you guys!

I love this little family! It was their first time getting professional pictures done and it was such a good time! Heather wrote me this email that I just have to share:

Okay, seriously, you’re a ridiculous photographer. Those pictures are just beautiful. There is one of Emery that I want to send to the Gap b/c it’s just such a perfect picture (the one of her sitting by herself with that little hat on). How in the world did you take such amazing pictures of our little family? Dana, thanks so much for everything. Can I sign up for next year now? :) Heather

This made me laugh out loud!

I love this engagement session with Amber + Mauricio in Griffith Park. It’s a place they go a lot and hang out so it was perfect for their shoot.

It was the old L.A zoo, which had lots of fun animal cages.
