Chicago Wedding: Allison and Matt (sneak peek)

Posted in Wedding

This past weekend I had the honor of flying out to Chicago to capture Allison and Matt’s intimate Chicago wedding. It was fabulous to spend a few days with them to document their rehearsal and wedding day! It was truly a perfect wedding with a glowing and gorgeous bride, handsome groom, loving family, and so much more… for now, enjoy a little sneak peek of their day! -Allison

Loved the elegance and simplicity of Allison’s details

The church was stunning and a perfect backdrop for photos…

… and after the ceremony, the sun came out just in time for a few formals…

Gorgeous… enough said!

After the church, we headed back to Allison’s parents’ home for a formal dinner and fun after-party… I just love this photo of Allison walking into her childhood home as a newlywed (while Matt was grabbing something from the car, I was able to capture this moment)

I can’t wait to post more! Congrats, Allison and Matt!!!

Los Angeles Engagement: Tené and Jermel

Posted in Engagement

A couple weeks ago, I met up with Tené and Jermel to photograph them around Venice Beach and Marina del Rey. This fabulous couple wanted to do an engagement session that represented their LA lifestyle, so we found some great spots. Jermel recently moved to LA to be with the love of his life, after living in New York City. He might be a New Yorker at heart, but still appreciates the sunny California way of life. We started on Abbott Kinney in Venice Beach, then headed towards the sand, canals, and then finished in Marina del Rey. It was a gorgeous morning and I had a great time getting to know Tené and Jermel. They are tying the knot this summer and I am looking forward to capturing their day. Thank you, Tené and Jermel, for being so wonderful, fun, gracious, and gorgeous inside and out! Enjoy the photos! -Allison

Flush-Mount Wedding Album (12 x 12 Studio Sample)

Posted in Wedding

I’m always so excited to receive packages, especially when it involves photography! About a week ago, I received this gorgeous sample album to share with my clients when we meet to discuss their wedding photography. I put together images from a few different weddings to show the quality as well as a variety of my work. The albums I offer clients are handcrafted in Los Angeles with the finest materials and use the highest quality prints. They are flush-mount so the images are printed on thick high-quality paper and the pages lay flat. I offer this size album (12 x 12) with some of my wedding collections and they can also be added on al la carte to any of my photography services. Once the bride and groom pick their favorite images, I design the album and send the album layout to the bride and groom for their approval. For this sample I kept it simple and classic by choosing black for the cover, but there are a variety of colors and materials to choose from (see swatch below). Last week I ordered another sample album with a lighter linen cover and I’m so excited for it to arrive. The other thing I love about the albums is that the bride and groom can choose to have an image on the front and it can be as large or small as they want in any location on the cover, which adds a personal touch. Enjoy this sample and I would love to meet with you to show you in person! -Allison
