I don’t know how I get so lucky, but seriously everything about this wedding & this couple was like a dream! Sue & David are laidback, hilarious, kind-hearted and oh so creative (you might remember their homemade fort engagement session!) and the types of people you just want to be friends with immediately. Their wedding was just as awesome as they are – bursting with prettiness & handmade details, coupled with a heavy dose of fun. When I imagine the types of weddings I most love to shoot and the types of people I most like to rendezvous with this, Sue & David and this amazing wedding are exactly what come to mind :)

Hope you enjoy this glimpse into their day!

I spent the first weekend of the year shooting my first wedding to the year, and it was a beauty. Susan and I knew of each other both growing up in Torrance (seriously one degree of separation in that city you guys, the Torrance connection is no joke!) and she was also a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed a few years ago. It was such an honor when she came to me asking me to be the photographer for her own special day :) They were married at the Jones Victorian Estate – a sweet venue tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Orange. The wedding was the perfect blend of casual elegance… Susan has killer style to boot, and put together whimsical details that tied so well into the venue and reflected their wintertime wedding – painted window panes, glittery table numbers, and baby’s breath galore!

It was the perfect way to kick off 2014 and I’m so excited for many more beautiful weddings in the coming months! Speaking of which, I’m looking to book just a handful more dates for this year, so if you’re considering contacting me for your wedding, I’d love love to chat with you soon! :)
