maternity: brandon & ariel

We've been on quite a journey with Brandon and Ariel. First they hired us to shoot their wedding, then we got to know them during a fun weekend drinking wine in Temecula and shooting their engagement session. Then we shot the big day, of course, followed by their one-year anniversary shoot. And now, here we are, celebrating the anticipated arrival of their first baby, Ava. We are so honored to continue to be a part of their lives and to capture all of these special moments.

engagement: grace & patricia

Patricia and Grace wanted to do a fun engagement session inspired by Disney Pixar's UP, one of their favorite movies and love stories. Styled by their friend and prop master Andrew Thiels, they had so many great details--from the grape soda pin, to the balloons, adventure book, and more. We shot this at Irvine Regional Park in Orange, California, and had the best time capturing these two and the love that they have for each other.

one year wedding anniversary: hilliary & evie

We can barely believe that it's already been one year since Hilliary and Evie were married. Hilliary has had this one year anniversary photo shoot planned since a week after she was married, and we've been looking forward to it ever since. We took them to Irvine Regional Park, our favorite rustic park in Orange, California, for their shoot where we laughed and reminisced. Can't wait for the next photo session with these two - maternity photos next?!

engagement: amber & connie

We had so much fun with Connie and Amber during their engagement shoot. We met up at Irvine Regional Park in Orange, California (one of our favorite "rustic" spots to shoot). What started off as a nice, pretty shoot, turned into a rousing good time with colorful holi powder. Marni had a little too much fun squirting the powder at the girls while they smiled and laughed their way through it.
