Orange County Wedding and Portrait Photography in Costa Mesa, California
Jen and Maggie brought Macey, their adorable dog, along with them to their engagement session. I used this as an opportunity to not only capture images of them playing with Macey, but a beautiful family portrait as well.
I love the color of this wall in the tunnel leading to Salt Creek Beach. We were all...
Kelly & Michael were a great couple to photograph. They came with their hair and makeup ready and their clothes ironed. I love this first shot of them. Right after I had positioned them to get the perfect splash of water a seal crawled up onto the rock in the background. It was perfect timing....
Josh and I had so much fun with Christine & Steve. The first time we went met up for their engagement photoshoot we had a camera malfunction and ended up hanging out with the lovely couple and chatting over drinks at a local pub. It was such a blessing that the camera malfunctioned though. Not...
KELLY & BRIAN
Kelly and Brian are a match made in heaven. They each have 2 beautiful children, a total of 4, 2 girls and 2 boys. I saw a picture of them and they all look identical. It’s crazy. Plus they are all around the same age.
When Kelly came into our Costa Mesa studio so...
CHRISTY & CHRIS
Yes, their names really are Christy and Chris and when they have kids their children can say both their parents have the same name. It’s not that uncommon. Believe it or not both my parents are named Kim. Growing up it was always Kim and Kim. I think it’s kind of cool and...
VALERIE & SHAWN
Valerie and Shawn love Disneyland. Shawn actually proposed to Valerie on Main St. in Disneyland which is why we chose this as their engagement photography location. We spent about four hours running around riding rides and taking pictures in Disneyland and California Adventure.
The first two photographs here were taken in California Adventure. For...
TOMMY & VANESSA
What to say about Tommy and Vanessa? They had so much energy and are both creative talented individuals. When we first talked about the engagement session Tommy and Vanessa had said that they would like to dress up like Princess Buttercup and Westley as the Dread Pirate Roberts from the Princess Bride. I...
CYNTHIA & THOMAS
Cynthia and Thomas are a really sweet couple. They loved the idea of going to the beach to take romantic photographs for their engagement session.
This first image is one of my favorites. It was a spontaneous shot of them running from the water. It’s a little more casual than romantic, but I think...
ASHLEY & ERRIN
Josh and I didn’t get a chance to meet Ashley and Errin until we met at the park. This isn’t something I normally do, but it worked fine for this couple. Ashley and I instantly became friends and I’m sad to say she has moved to Colorado. Ashley, if you are reading this...
MORGAN & BRENEN
After the first engagement session with Morgan & Brenen in Downtown, LA, we went out to dinner and started discussing what they love to do with each. Morgan was telling us about how they love the beach. Since they live in Costa Mesa and they take a lot of their beach outings in...
