Wedding at the Hillside Club, Berkeley, CA
Leah’s blog was the very first blog I started reading, and the one I’ve stuck with the longest. I’ve cheered her on as she and Simon started dating, bought their first home together and welcomed their incredibly cute little boy. So when she emailed me earlier this year asking if April and I were available to photograph her wedding to Simon, the answer was a huge “Yes, ma’am!”
Their wedding at the Berkeley Hillside Club last weekend was a perfect reflection of their little family: Colorful, loving and full of laughter. Although I know Leah worked tirelessly to pull the wedding together in just a few months, on the day of, the results seemed effortlessly adorable and relaxed, like a (very pretty) Sunday picnic.

Leah and Simon, it was an honor being part of your making-it-even-more-official day!
Paramount Ranch is a popular place for engagement photos, but Jenn and Victor were actually the first couple we’ve shot there. They were wonderfully good sports about climbing near potential spider holes (eek!) to get some great images. We know their Smog Shoppe wedding this September is going to be amazing!
We have been absolutely DYING! to shoot in the Los Angeles Arts District downtown and we were thrilled that Molly & Jonathan were not only on board but completely enthusiastic. They totally brought their A game with their cool & colorful outfits, sultry looks and sweet snuggles. And they were great sports as we had them sitting around in the grunge and staring into the blinding sun. (Don’t worry Jonathan, we edited out your single tear…)
Here are some of our favorites from the afternoon:
Molly & Jonathan, thanks so much for humoring us & we hope you had as much fun as we did! Looking forward to July!
Hunter took Sophia to Griffith Park on one of their first dates so it was the perfect spot for their engagement session. The park is so gorgeous in the spring! After trekking through the tall grasses, we headed up to the Griffith Observatory for a more urban look and sweeping views of the city. The best of both worlds!
