Malia and Erick have a love that feels like the kind of love that has been around for a lifetime… a love that is gentle and wise.  Erick has this quiet yet incredibly strong love for Malia – I could see it from the moment I met them.  They’re both so sweet and so at ease with each other… it’s just adorable.  Malia was so relaxed on her wedding day… she was determined to have a fun and stress free wedding – one that she could enjoy and remember forever. 

They celebrated their love surrounded by their beautiful family at Angeles National Golf Club.

The cool ocean breeze… a fabulous couple…. what more could you ask for on a hot summer day! Shannon and Ezekiel are the cutest highschool sweethearts EVER. They truly found love while they were very young.  They can honestly tell their grandchildren one day that they met and fell in love when they were just kids themselves… and they nurtured that love while they grew up together… ok – can we all say ‘awwwww’  together?!?!?!  I absolutely love their LOVE story so much!!!!  I am so incredibly happy for them!

Their wedding took place at the beautiful La Palapa restaurant in Long Beach – after a gorgeous beach front wedding surrounded by family and friends.

Adela & William are a fun, romantic, and passionate couple … they’re full of life and love for each other. From the day that I shot their engagement session, I knew that they would be very passionate and affectionate … and I lved that about them.  I love seeing that raw passion and love between my clients – the way that William looked at Adela when she smiled was just so beautiful!!! You could tell that all they wanted to do was make each other happy – and that’s what love is all about – making each other happy!!! 

Adela got ready at the stunning Millenium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.  Their beautiful and traditional Catholic Ceremony took place at the gorgeous St. Vincent De Paul in Los Angeles – a stunning and breathtaking church!!!  And their reception took place at the Diamond Bar Center

I first met Alcira and Jose several months ago, when their fabulous wedding planner (and a friend of mine) Jenny from At your Door Events - asked me to meet with them.  My first impression of them was how sweet and quiet they both were.  I realized quickly that Jose adores Alcira, and he would go along with whatever she asked for… which I knew would translate into fabulous romantic images.  But I also realized quickly that Alcira LOVED fabulous photography… which of course would translate into FABULOUSLY ROMANTIC images! lol!  If you follow my blog, you might remember their fabulous  Santa Monica Engagement session - where they totallyl rocked it!!!  

When I drove up to the Los Angeles Arboretum on a Thursday afternoon, I thought it would be a small and very casual afair (with less than 30 guests!!!) – and I loved that!!! I mean, what other kind of wedding could it be on a Thursday afternoon?!?!    Well… it could be an absolutely FABULOUS and STUNNING afair… that’s what it could be!!!!!  and that’s exactly what it was!!   Jenny serioulsy blew this wedding out of the water when it came to the design!!!!! 

The colors, the flowers, the textures…. it was all absolutely delicious eye-candy!!!! EVERYWHERE!!!  And… of course, the L.A. Arboretum could not have been the most perfect location for this magical day!   

As I walked up to the Arboretum that day… I saw Alcira and her fabulous-ness absolutely blew me away… the birdcage veil, her fabulous shoes, her stunning makeup… and her fabulous dress!!!  And Jose… looking all dashing!!!   AND (yes… there’s a big ‘AND’) – Alcira and Jose put so much emphasis on fabulous photography, that they saw each other before the ceremony so that we could walk around by ourselves AND we had even more time after the ceremony!!!!  oh… oh… oh… and they absolutely trusted me!!! Can I just say photographer’s heaven!!! LOL!!!   

We had so much fun… and I took sooooo many fabulous images… so you know this is about to become an absolutely LONG post of eye-candy… so just get yourself some yummy chocolate, sit back, and enjoy ;-)

From the moment that I met Jacy and Carlos, I knew they were going to be fabulous.  I mean… they loved and appreciated photography, they were super sweet, and we just had such a wonderful connection.  When I shot their Santa Monica Pier Engagement Session a few months ago I just knew that their wedding was going to be a blast.  I knew at the engagement session that Jacy followed my blog… and was eager to get amazing images.  Of course, getting amazing images for these two is really not a difficult task – they’re such a beautiful couple, they’re happy, and they’re in love … I mean how much easier could it get for me?!?! LOL! So I had been looking forward to their wedding for some time :-)

I knew their wedding would be beautiful… they got married at the gorgeous  Kerckhoff Grand Salon in UCLA and  had their reception at the gorgeous Coffee House Patio.  I am thrilled to say, that their wedding was actually FABULOUS to the tenth degree!!!!!!!! Seriously.  F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S.  What made it so fabulous?  They did.  Jacy and Carlos.  I mean the venue was amazing, their decorations were beautiful, their carefully planned details were gorgeous … but what truly made this wedding fabulous was them and their fabulous personalities that just radiate happiness and love.  They knew they wanted amazing images and they truly trusted me.

Jacy and Carlos – you guys absolutely rock! you guys are simply fabulous. I am so honored to have been your wedding photographer and I’m honored just to have met you both!!!!! Thank you for sharing your special day with me and allowing me to capture it for you… and most of all, thank you for trusting me as much as you did!!!!!

Ok… So those handfull of people that follow my blog know that I’m alwasy posting tooo many images…. haha! I just have a hard time narrowing it down to my favorite images.  So I’m just going to warn you all that this is about to become one LONG post of images… I just couldn’t even decide! I so sowy… :-)

I absolutely love exploring new places with my couples … especially when they absolutely ROCK!!! LOL!!! Adela and Will’s engagement session was nothing short of fabulous! We had so much fun getting to know each other, talking about their wedding (which is coming up shortly!!) and simply taking some amazing images of them. 

Adela and Will chose to have 2 settings for their engagement session – so we started off at the South coast Botanic Gardens  (in Palos Verdes) then we headed down to the beach for a quick beach setting.  It was my first time at the South Coast Botanic Gardens… and I totally fell in love with them… so many places to walk around! I love gardens that have areas that look like a natural forest… not so manicured… such a beautiful and romantic setting.  Trust me… romance was what this session was all about – Adela and Will are simply romance and passion.  Seriously… they had absolutely no trouble getting into the romantic shots… AT ALL!!! LOL!!! Will… I know we all giggled about how passionate you both are with each other… but that’s what it’s all about – I can totally see you guys in your 60’s, still lovin’ on each other!! how cute is that?!?!?! 

I can not wait for your fabulous wedding!!! I’m already imagining how fabulous and romantic your pictures will be!!!!

I was so excited when I met Stephanie for the first time… from that very first moment I knew she was all about style, all about glamour, and all about fabulousness – my type of gal!!! LOL!!  Her wedding will seriously be AH-MAZING!!!  No joke!!!  I didn’t get a chance to meet Louis during our first consult, but how could he NOT have style with such a fab girl by his side… lol!

Stephanie was envisioning an old-hollywood glamour feel for her engagement session – but filled with that ultra-hip modern feel.  So she chose to go to the Griffith Park Observatory and then to the Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles… just to get 2 different looks for the day.  I loved how she decided to go all dressed up for the session… ultra-fab!!!! 

Everyone knows I love getting to know my clients… I love getting to know what makes them laugh, what makes them blush, and what makes them love.  Every engagement session is totally different for me… some are sweet, others are sleek, others are romantic – it all depends on the fabulous couple and their personalities.  Stephanie and Louis are such an ultra modern couple… and ultra sleek. Stephanie thought Louis would be a little shy in front of the camera, but Louis was such a pro – he embodied GQ style! lol!!  Both of them rocked it!!! 

Thank you guys for sharing those moments with me… I know we’re going to have a blast on your wedding day next year in Camarillo!!! I can’t wait!!!

Seriously everyone … can everyone just take a quick second to recognize this being my 3rd post in 2 days!!! seriously. wow.  Haha!

In all honesty – I’ve been so swamped with processing images and designing albums for so many weeks now that I took the day off today to catch up on my blogging and facebook-ing… just to change it up a bit! LOL!  Oh… if you haven’t checked out my facebook page - check it out… I usually post things there before I blog them (just cuz it’s easier and faster to post images there – blogging takes me a LONG time to get the darn post ready! lol!).  So if you want to see the latest and greatest – that’s the place to go! 

Here’s the link to my official Studio Eternity Facebook Page - I won’t ask you to fan me, since apparently that was too much pressure or whatever the facebook people said… lol! – but feel free to ‘Like’ me… :-)   (pretty, pretty please… like me… please like me – LOL :-) )
