A Day at the Farmers Market

On Sunday, April 15, 2012 Sarai and I went to our favorite weekend place -The Farmers Market. We love everything about it; the fresh fruit and vegetables, and especially the flowers, they were all spectacular. This farmers market was held at the great park in Irvine, CA there were booths, food trucks, a car show, and flower stands. We recommend to everyone to go to the farmers market at least once, it is a great place to go to relax and get in a little exercise! We also found out that we can bring our puppy Bailey next week when we go! The number one reason we go there is to make sure that we have healthy food to eat throughout the week, it is delicious and always fresh!

Our friend Jasmine was wonderful enough to be our model for the day in her adorable polka dot dress. This girl is friendly, outgoing, and confident the three things we love in a model. It shows through in each and every pose how comfortable she is in front of a camera, and her laughter is extremely contagious. Sarai and I are extremely happy to have met Jasmine. She is an amazing person!

You guys will see for yourselves!

Mallory & Ryan: A Glance at the Wedding

On April 14, 2012 we had the honor of taking pictures of a beautiful couple as they took a leap into marriage! Mallory and Ryan’s love can be seen quite clearly to everyone they come in contact with. They got married at Trinity Church in Tustin, CA. Between the elegant wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, and handmade origami touches this truly was a magnificent wedding! Here is a quick view of the bride and groom after the ceremony; we gave them a few minutes by themselves to reflect on the moment.

We couldn't resist showing all of you this one last picture. The amazing couple sneaking in a kiss before they drive off into the sunset. The Just Married sign is the exact same sign used in his grandparent's wedding on May 28, 1948. 

More to come on this happy couple very soon!

Alexis Margarita Martinez-Redlands CA

Turning 15 is an important milestone in every young girls life. In Latin America this birthday symbolizes the transition from childhood to womanhood. On May 5th 2012 Alexis is having her Quinceañera and we are lucky enough to be able to capture the memories for her. Last month we took pictures of her in preparation of her Quinceañera at the Amphitheater and the Lincoln Memorial Shrine in Redlands. She is a gorgeous young girl and will definitely look amazing in May!

Mallory & Ryan: Irvine Park

Mallory and Ryan are getting married tomorrow!! We are very excited to shoot their wedding and I wanted to post their amazing engagement pictures for everyone to see! We took these shots at the Irvine Park and their personalities shine through each and every one of them. 

We will be posting our favorite pictures of tomorrows festivities tomorrow night!

Annie, Jared, and Beautiful Baby Girl Emma

It is so wonderful when love is seen from start to finish, my sister D’Andra met her husband Jared in 2008. They were married in at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas Nevada on 10/10/10 and had their daughter Emma, my beautiful niece, on May 2^nd 2011. Here are some photos that we were able to take from the beginning until now. 

Mario & Rebecca-Solvang CA

Solvang, California is home to a beautiful Dutch town filled with art, Chocolate, Danishes, Pancakes, Souvenirs and history. We had the honor of doing an engagement shoot for the beautiful couple-Rebecca and Mario. Mario proposed to Rebecca in Solvang and they wanted to go back to the same location for pictures. They have a great chemistry together and make a beautiful couple, as you can see through their photos. Enjoy!

Adam & Cassie: The Journey

I was looking over pictures for our this post and I cannot decide which one I would like to begin with. I am going to start with the journey of two of my favorite people- My brother Adam and my sister Cassandra. They were married in June 2009 in Dana Point California. 

When looking at Adam and Cassie you can see true love, they fit together perfectly. In January 2010 Cassie told Sarai and I that she was expecting a baby, we were so excited because we knew what amazing parents the two of them were going to make. We were lucky enough to be able to capture some maternity shots for Cassie and Adam in Corona CA. 

Ben was born September 2^nd 2010, there is nothing better than holding your brand new nephew in your arms. We took his first pictures when he was one month old, we wanted to give them plenty of time to get to know the little guy before we did a shoot. J The care and love they have for him shows through in every shot, they are two of the best parents we have ever seen! 

Finally, we are caught up to the present; the following shot is Ben more recently at about 18 months, we went to the Getty in Los Angeles to look at the art and he loved everything he saw (mostly the fountain!)  

We are so blessed to have the three of them in our lives. I cannot wait for them to have another little one and start this amazing journey all over again!
