As much as we love a showstopper of a wedding, it’s important to remember that when all is said and done it’s the getting married that is the really special part. Putting their wedding together in just a month, making their vows on the hearth of the fireplace in Aliza’s childhood home, surrounded by only the closest of friends and family, Aliza & Adam reminded us again of what we love the most about weddings – the family, the love, and the joy of celebrating life together, forever. Congratulations, Aliza & Adam!
Meg and Corey have been so patiently waiting for a sneak peek at their wedding pictures (Fun fact: April and I BOTH have brand new babies, so we’re running a little behind in blogging these days!), so I’m going to get right to the goods. But I must say first how incredibly kind and lovely these two are. Meg is the kind of person you just want to give a big hug to as soon as you meet her, and she and Corey are SUCH a fantastic pair. (We also want to thank our very talented friend Jean Spencer for shooting this wedding along side me since April was in labor that day – EEK! We love you, Jean!)

Just after Christmas, we got to photograph the wedding of my husband’s great friend Dan and his love Michaela. While we’re fond of all our couples, naturally it’s especially meaningful to be part of the weddings of friends. We got lucky with some warm weather (relatively speaking, of course – We’re still adjusting to not having LA temperatures while shooting!), worked with some great vendors, and to top it off, I got to spend the reception being a guest! Many thanks to Lauren Winchester for photographing that part of the day with April so that I could have some wine and dance with my hubby. Kayla and Dan (and darling Charlotte), we love you! XOXO.

Jessica and Will’s February wedding at The Jonathan Club was pure elegance. Everyone looked amazing dressed to the nines, and all the candles and dark wood made the evening feel so warm and romantic. Jessica and Will, you are an outstandingly sweet couple! Thank you for kicking off our wedding season with such style and grace. We hope you had a great time on your surprise honeymoon!
