Justin and Saba at Long Beach Lighthouse

On a busy weekend day, I met up with Justin and Saba in downtown Long Beach to photograph their engagement session. I have only been to that area once, a long time ago, so when they mentioned they wanted photos with the lighthouse, I was surprised there even was a lighthouse in L.A. county!

Just as if in a movie, Saba, originally from Vancouver but then lived in Orange County, and Justin met briefly in his L.A. apartment building complex elevator, and ended up bumping into each other at a nearby bar, when sparks started to fly. It’s stories like this that makes me believe fate is real.

Jack’s 3rd Month

Having photographed Jeni a couple of times during her journey through her pregnancy – first for her maternity portraits, and then for her baby shower – I was really excited to meet little Jack for his 3 month portrait session! We photographed him in his natural habitat – at home and in diapers. For some reason, I love seeing babies in diapers. Maybe it’s all those years watching Rugrats, hah.

Jack was such a cute little baby! He was quiet and ponderous most of the time, and we must have worked him hard for this session because he fell asleep as soon as we were done, haha. I’m really looking forward to seeing him for his 6 month portrait session and seeing how much he’s grown up!

Bianca and Alex’s Wedding at Fallbrook Hacienda

San Diego Events PhotographerlocationSAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

In case you didn’t know, I once lived in San Diego county for a big chunk of my life before moving back to Los Angeles. It’s always fun visiting sunny San Diego any time I can, even more so when it’s to photograph a fun wedding for a couple of awesome people like Alex and Bianca!

Their ceremony was held in St. Patrick’s Church in Carlsbad, while the reception was in the gorgeous Spanish-style venue Fallbrook Hacienda that had a really neat cactus garden (this was a huge reason why they wanted to have their engagement session at Joshua Tree National Park!). So many things happened during their reception, full of fun and laughter, that I can’t even explain what was going on. You’ll just have to see the photos!
