I met the cutest couple ever and got to photograph their perfect day last month in Southern California. The Wedding was at a gorgeous temple in Los Angeles and the entire grounds were simply stunning but most importantly, they are a absolutely beautiful couple both inside and out. It was such a joy to spend the day with them and their families and wedding party. Here is a slideshow of some of my favorite images from the day and night. Enjoy…

My best to Miriam and Scott always!

I got the chance to photograph the super crazy fun wedding last weekend of Kawai & Matt in Portola Valley, California and the Pulgas Water Temple. It was a hot sunny day perfectly fitting for what these two had plan for their reception…a “wipeout/outdoor sport play theme” and it was amazing! The guests had a blast as did the couple of course and it was pure joy getting to capture their special day for them! Here is a slideshow of some of my images I took from the day.

The Wedding of Kaitlyn and Bodey was beautiful, fun and fabulous and as Kaitlyn always says… “You can’t fight fabulous!” and you really can’t with these two amazing people.

Crystelle & Steve

I got to spend two amazing days up in the city (SF,CA) a couple of weeks ago learning lighting techniques from one of the most amazing lighting experts in the photography industry; Bob Davis! It was an amazing workshop with lots of hands on learning and also a day of listening to the sweetest and beautiful (inside and out!) women; Dawn Davis, Bob’s wife speak about business and marketing and…life! It was inspiring, moving and I learned SO much! I got challenged and am now challenging myself to be a better photographer thanks to this wonderful workshop! Now, here are some of the pictures I get to share with you that I took while we set out on a bus in SF, California finding the most stunning spots to photograph these two beautiful models. Thanks to Crystelle & Steve for your hard work! The people I got to know at the workshop were so great and spending time with Bob and Dawn is a true gift!

Hope you enjoy these images…

Have a fabulous day,
Melinda
