I can not wait to blog this wedding but needed to blog this first! Since I did their engagement a week before the wedding, I wasn’t able to do a blog in time. So here’s a few from the cute streets of Sierra Madre.

Thanks Kristen + Chris for dinner and a fun time!

My friend and makeup artist extrodinare, Amy Clarke put on a fun shoot where a bunch of photographers, models, makeup artists and hair stylists got together for an all day extravaganza. I’ve known every single hair and makeup artist for a long time so it was really great to work with all my amazingly talented friends!

I looked at it as an opportunity to practice my off camera lighting and try something I don’t normally do. It’s difficult to use off camera lighting at weddings because there’s usually a limited amount of time and lighting takes time to set up. I’m still working on it but I am happy with how these came out.

Makeup Artists:
Amy Clarke
Brandie Bedell
Shelia Northcutt

Hair Stylists:
Melody Rachunok
Vanessa Del Campo
Kristen Camancho Enriquez

Makeup by Brandie.

This is my absolute fave from the shoot. I love the colors and it’s my favorite time of day with and without lighting.

Ashley and Jeff got married at Ashley’s family’s farm in Romona, Ca. It was a very relaxed and perfect day. Wonderful family and friends!

The detail on Ashley’s dress was so different. I loved the textures together.

Who doesn’t like a good outhouse?

I love the feeling of this picture.

These kids ruled the dance floor!

How fun is this couple?! I, for one had a fantastic time shooting them. I laughed most of the time! They wanted to incorporate fun props like their rad bike and cameras which of course appeals to me! And the best part is, there’s a lot more to come with these two.
