Lindsey - Old Towne Orange

I have posted most of these once before, but then took them down because the timing wasn't right. Since she and Brad were married on Saturday the timing is now perfect and I am excited to get to share them again!

Look for photos from their Newport Beach/Huntington Beach wedding day in the next few weeks.

had a great weekend involving delicious food, time with friends, a ride on a ferris wheel, sand between my toes and this lovely bridal shoot.

I have a lot I am working on....I feel like I am racing to get on top of it all! substantial posts in the near future.

happy monday super fine blog readers.

this beauty's wedding is on friday...can't wait to shoot all the mushrooms and flowers and pretty people.

(note: I typically like to do minimal editing to my images. usually just color correction and level adjustments. but this bride specifically asked for an old vintage feel...and since we didn't have time to shoot large format bw film, we used some fun photoshop tricks to desaturate and color adjust certain images. hope you enjoy! )

we had a bridal photo shoot a couple nights ago here in seattle and it was AMAZING. we were going for a vintage/old look since her dress is from the early 1900's. I found a great apartment lobby and some blooming trees. enjoy this little taste. more to come.

lisa's bridals

I've known lisa since she was in junior high. Her brother was my first love. It was one of those rare relationships that transcends the breakup and awkwardness and comes up even better than before. Chris is still one of my closet friends and I feel blessed to have him and his family as part of my life.

lisa, along with chris and family, came out to LA for this shoot. It really didn't even feel like work. Pat was buying me pizza and Rachel's baby, slade, was nuzzling into my shoulder. It was just fun.

lisa, as you can see, looked amazing. everyone keep commenting on how she looks like uma thurman, but better. she braved breaking the rules in the hotel and owned the streets of santa monica and the results...were gold.

thank you universe for letting me photograph such a stunning subject. xxoo.
