An Auto Body Shop Engagement Session
Not going to lie: It makes us REALLY happy photographers when one of our couples shakes things up a bit with their engagement session location. We were thrilled when Paula said she and Justin wanted to do theirs at Justin’s hot rod shop. It always brings the engagement sessions to a different level when they’re held some place that means something to the couple (we also got to incorporate some of Paula in her derby skates!). This was a super fun shoot, and we’re grateful for the chance it gave us to get to know these two a bit in anticipation of their July wedding. We can’t wait to see what Paula (and the fab Michelle Buckley) has in store for the big day!
There’s something a little bit magical about weddings at Rancho Del Cielo, and Hiromi and Mitsuru’s day was no exception. They flew in from Japan to host a very intimate, sweet celebration with a small group of their dearest friends and family. Add in flowers by our beloved Megan of La Partie Events and desserts by the always adorable My Sweet and Saucy and the day looked as beautiful as it felt!
It was a pretty gray evening when we met up with Hiromi and Mitsuru to do their engagement session just days before their wedding. Thankfully it’s exceptionally easy to find fun pops of color in Venice Beach! We were grateful for the chance to meet Hiromi and Mitsuru and get to know them a bit before their wedding. And wait until you see what they put together for their big day at Rancho Del Cielo! All kinds of pretty.
We have been excited for Rebecca & Austin’s wedding from the very first moments when we met with Rebecca and she described the eco-friendly and ultra-chic affair she and Austin were planning for their Big Day. From her invitations and place cards made of birch wood, to her Adele Wechsler Eco-Couture dress, to simple but elegant florals, to making sure that every single item was either recycled or reused several times throughout the day, it was all gorgeous and a huge success. But honestly, even if there hadn’t been a single detail for us to drool over, it was still an amazing day filled with heartfelt vows, hilarious toasts and lots and LOTS of crazy dancing. Rebecca & Austin, thanks so much for including us in your awesome day!
