Happy Fifteenth Birthday | Temecula Portrait Photographer

This is the beautiful Alexandra. On her fifteenth birthday, she and her family decided they were going to do a very low key quinceañera celebration for her at Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Church in Temecula, French Valley. They did a great job! We came in for a portrait session for this beautiful, sweet, young lady. Congratulations Alex and Happy Birthday!

Old Ranch Country Club Wedding | Seal Beach Wedding Photographer








We first met Janet when she was still in college. Her family had decided to homeschool her younger siblings and we were all part of the same homeschool group. I can’t believe that Janet is going to get married! But I can’t imagine anyone more perfect for her than Thomas. They were friends at church and then it just grew to a sweet love. Their wedding at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach was sweet. Lots of family and lots of love. We knew it was going to be a fun day on the day when we did their engagement session and had a blast. They are such a sweet couple and totally in love. Congratulations and God bless you Thomas and Janet!

A Very Calm Bride and Groom | Newport Beach Wedding Photographer







Kris and Sabrina’s Private First Meeting was beautiful. The Balboa Bay Club was much busier than usual that day and there were quite a few people walking through their beautiful wide halls. But as Sabrina tapped Kris on the shoulder, it was like no one else was around for these two. It was really sweet. They stood mesmerized by each other – laughing, crying, smiling, gazing – for quite a while. When they “came back to reality” and told us they were ready to take some fun shots, they were so sweet and calm. Despite the fact that Kris could barely keep his eyes open due to some slight allergic reaction, they were calm as can be. We had some fun at The Balboa Bay Club and then headed to one of Electra Cruises‘ yachts, Eternity, for the wedding. It was another SWEET Mia Dolce Wedding. Beautiful! Congratulations again Kris and Sabrina!!

By the way, Kris actually ended up going to the ER at the Hospital the next day because that slight allergy turned out to be worse that he thought. He mended and made it to their honeymoon flight on time!

Seal Beach Future Princess | Seal Beach Photographer

I look at Little M here and I see all sweetness and joy. She was so fun to photograph. Everything she did made me think of her poor dad. Her mom handed her the colorful toy phone but when she did not get a response on the other end of the line, she tossed that aside. She then reached into mom’s purse and pulled out the iPhone. She was much happier with that. Then she went through mom’s purse again. Of all the things she could have pulled out, she brought out the checkbook. I thought she would quickly toss that aside too, once she realized it was just a bunch of papers, but she didn’t! She reviewed that checkbook as though she knew exactly what she was doing. It was hilarious! We have photographed Little M since she was a newborn and she’s been that way from day one. She has so much personality bursting at the seams. And she already knows what necessities need to be in a her future purse – a cell phone and a checkbook. Good luck Daddy Nick!

A Ponte Winery Wedding | Temecula Wedding Photographer

Chances are, if you’re reading this you’re probably in the midst of planning your future wedding. We do a lot of planning for each wedding we photograph, but when we see ALL the planning that must go into the whole wedding … we are in awe. It is amazing that some brides do it all. Those poor things! That’s why we often recommend that brides, if it is within their budget, get a wedding coordinator. We recommend a Wedding Coordinator or at least a Day-Of Coordinator. That’s why when we met Chris and Carrie, we thought it was pretty cool that Carrie’s sister is a Wedding and Event Coordinator at GBK Productions. How awesome is that for Carrie? Of course it probably was a bit more stressful of a wedding for her sister, Carla, but she did a great job nonetheless. Check out the colors and details of their wedding at Ponte Winery in Temecula. It was a beautiful day. Chris and Carrie were a wonderful couple to work with. When you get along with your clients so well, it makes for such a comfortable and relaxed relationship. Thanks Chris and Carrie for being great clients. Congratulations!!

Throw a Tantrum | Orange County Photographer

One of the best things about having really young children is ….. that it’s socially acceptable to make weird faces, babble and act insane when you have your kids around. Now that our children are getting older, it’s much more difficult to act that way without people looking at us like we forgot to take our medication or something. So to all our great clients with babies …… enjoy them while they are young! Join them when they drool while watching a show. Help them devour cake without a fork. Throw at tantrum along side of them when the grocery line is taking too long! Enjoy your kids and enjoy yourselves! It goes way too fast.
