January 7, 2010 - 9:58 pm - Charise, having you capture our wedding was one of the best decisions we made...we would have not had it any other way!! we love you!
And another Summer wedding to share 
Emily and Kiel were married at the Los Angeles Temple a few months ago. I absolutely adore these two and they couldn’t be more perfect for one another!
After we wrapped up their portraits Emily and Kiel had Tito’s Tacos brought in for all of the friends and family that attended the Temple portion of their celebration. As you may be able to tell, Tito’s Taco’s is a fave of theirs.
Ceremony – Los Angeles Temple
Cake – Skiffs Cakes

March 11, 2010 - 6:07 pm - GORGEOUS lady! Love that ring shot!! So great meeting you at the Sizemore shoot and then again at dinner - you are so gorgeous! Hope you're resting up!
I seriously had such a blast photographing Jerilyn’s senior session over the summer. When her mom contacted me about photographing Jerilyn’s high school senior portraits and we started discussing location options, she had suggested shooting on the property of Jerilyn’s boyfriends home. When she started to tell me about all the awesome options the property had to offer I was over the moon excited to use the location. And of course, I was NOT disappointed when I arrived to the session, not only was the property awesome for the session…SHE was awesome too!
Jerilyn you are gorgeous and I am positive you are going to do fabulous things with your future!
December 11, 2009 - 8:35 pm - Great work, Charise. I, too, love the location.
December 11, 2009 - 9:30 pm - I'm really loving the last shot!
The first time I met Amy was at her cousin Erica’s wedding a few months ago. From the moment I met Amy I absolutely adored her. So fun, so full of life and so darn sweet…my kind of girl!! So of course, when she asked me to photograph her and Matt’s wedding I was beyond excited! Amy and Matt came out from Fresno for their engagement session, I loved spending more time with Amy, getting to know Matt and of course having tons of fun photographing them! They will be married in Fresno in just a few months…I can’t wait to see them again!
Ohhh blogsphere, between a crazy wedding season and some issues with my blog….its been way too long. So, Im going to start playing a little catch up. I have so much I want to share with all of you and finally have a little bit of time to share

Back in July I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of Michelle and Steven in New York with the wonderful Caryn of Eikon Photography. Not only are Michelle and Steven wonderful and amazing people, but their families are equally awesome! Their wedding was simply fabulous! We started the day at Michelle’s parents home in Long Island, NY were were photographed all of the preparation part of the day along with some beautiful portraits of Michelle and her family. Then off to the church, where they had a beautiful ceremony while surrounded by their family and friends. After the Ceremony there was a small break in the day before the reception, however, Caryn and I were sure to put all of this ‘down’ time to good use. Michelle and Steven were such troopers allowing us to shoot (and shoot, and shoot, and shoot) to our hearts content. Once the reception started, the real party got underway. Everyone danced the night away celebrating the love of Michelle and Steven….it was awesome!
Caryn, Michelle and Steven…thank you SO much for such an amazing time in New York. Your families are fabulous and made me feel just like family from the first moment I met all of you! I wish you nothing but the best in the future…I know you are going to have a fabulous life together.
Michelle and Steven’s daughter watching her mommy get ready for the big day!
Sexy wedding shoes? Yes, please!
Pre wedding nerves?!?!
A little Michael Jackson action…
As an added bonus we were lucky enough to meet and enjoy the music of Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge, the Doo Wop, R&B, Pop, Rock band from Long Island, NY. Steven’s dad is the first tenor for the group and band manager, Les Cauchi. You know those little hits, “Sixteen Candles” and “The Worst That Could Happen”?? Well both of those hits (and many others) are by Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge, hearing them sing them live was pretty aweseome!
September 21, 2009 - 10:33 pm - gorgeous couple!!! love all the shots with the couple!
Wedding Season has been A.MA.ZING! I feel so ridiculously blessed to be as busy as I am, as busy as I have been, and as busy as the future will be. Unfortunately, with all the craziness of wedding season my poor blog has been left neglected. Im so very sorry internet….I promise to try and be better about sharing with you in the future. Never-the-less, its time for a little catch up….okay lot’s of catch up

Justin and Casey were married at Los Robles Golf Course in Thousand Oaks. Can I just say that Casey totally knew what she wanted for her wedding and brought everything together wonderfully! Justin and Casey requested that all of their guests wear black and white to the wedding. Every single guest came dressed as they requested….and Casey wow’d everyone when she walked down the isle in a breath taking Maggie Sottero RED wedding gown! She looked absolutely stunning and to see her in her red dress surrounded by a sea of black and white was fabulous! I also need to send out a special thank you to the amazing team at Los Robles Golf course. Their staff was phenominal and a HUGE pleasure to work with!
Jason from Elegant Event Entertainment kept the party going all night long
