Disneyland Wedding | Erwin and Ilona | Part 2

Did you enjoy Part 1 of Ilona and Erwin’s Magical Disney Wedding? Well, get ready because Part 2 has just landed! This was photographed on a beautiful and fun Day After session at Disneyland in the VERY early morning hours before the park opened for the public. It is so serene to be able to see the park like this. It’s quiet, peaceful, and simply magical! This was the second time I’ve gotten the opportunity to shoot at Disneyland with no park guests and all I can say is that I’m one lucky gal.

Ilona and Erwin love Disneyland and to be able to shoot here with no people means so much to them. It’s definitely the icing on the cake for them and I am so proud to be a part of fulfilling their wedding dreams. Congratulations again!! I wish you guys nothing but the best!!

Disneyland Wedding | Erwin and Ilona | Part 1

A fairytale Disney Inspired wedding to show all you lovely people! Ilona and Erwin are more than just my clients, they have sincerely become good friends of mine. I adore these two! They are literally in Bali and Tokyo for their honeymoon right now and I hope they are having a blast! I secretly hope they find WIFI so they can see this blog post to brighten up their already amazing wedding venture.:)

Ilona and Erwin LOVE Disney. I don’t mean, they just simply LOVE it…I really mean they LOVE IT! Their fairytale wedding was simply breathtaking. So many fun details that I couldn’t even begin to imagine. My favorite was their invitations as well as their custom made “guide maps” that looked like a replica of the park maps. Ilona and Erwin really put a lot of thought and creativity into their wedding and it truly showcased who they are as a couple – fun-loving, smart, and ever so playful! I loved documenting every minute of it.

As you will see below, the wedding was such a joyous day for not only the couple but also for their guests. Mickey and Minnie even stopped by to take some pictures with everyone. It was such a thrilling moment for everyone. All I saw were flashes of camera lights shooting at Mickey and Minnie. I’m surprised I’m not blinded by all that flash!:P

Congratulations Ilona and Erwin! I wish you guys nothing but the best because you two deserve it. You guys are so sweet and you take such good care of one another. Don’t forget to text me when you go to Disneyland next time. I’m always down to go!:)

Also, don’t forget to check back next week when I show part 2! You won’t want to miss it! It’s going to make you go “awwwww”. Here’s a hint: It’s Disneyland with no guests! shh….it’s gonna be amazing!

Marina Del Rey Beach Engagement Session | Sumeet and Pallavi

Sumeet and Pallavi are such a sweet couple together. in the beginning of our session, they were a bit shy in front of the camera, but by the end of our session they were rockstars enjoying the whole photo taking process. I loved it! I love when my couples relax and just laugh and can be silly in front of me. It’s a beautiful thing! And check out this beautiful beach! Not a person in sight! That’s my type of beach. It made photographing way easier for us all. Check out the lovely couple! Congratulations you two!

South Coast Botanic Garden | Maternity Session

*sigh* I love when I get to work with previous clients over and over again.  When I first started, Jennifer and Kerry hired me to shoot their Trash the Dress session at the beach and it was a pretty difficult session for us both with the water and wind.  I was still fairly  new at what I was doing but somehow it all worked out for us both. The pictures came out beautiful and we kept in touch via Facebook. I love Facebook! It’s one of the best tools for me when keeping in touch with my clients, family, and friends. So a few years has passed and now they are expecting their first child together! She’s due any day now actually! During our sessions, I am always so cautious of making sure she was feeling ok and that I wasn’t tiring her out too much. Her comfort comes first! But the maternity session was a success. Such great light, such a beautiful environment, and of course a lovely couple and baby bump. Congratulations you two! Thank you for another opportunity to photograph you two. I can’t wait to meet the little one!!

San Dimas Family Session | Baby Luca

I love baby names! I secretly already have potential baby names for my future kids. SHHH! I know, it’s bad! But I love baby names and the more unique, the better! I never met a “Luca” before and now that I have, I think it’s adorable! Baby Luca is so cute and super photogenic! He did so well in the photo session. He smiles, he looks in the camera, and he sits still! What more could I ask for???:)
