Personal Portrait Session | Covina, California

My wonderful sister let me photograph her today. I am currently going to school to become a certified make up artist so it was a great opportunity to use my new found skills as well as make beautiful photos. I loved making my sister feel beautiful because she definitely is! Here are a few favorites from today.

Anaheim Styled Session | Jeremy Chou Workshop

I had the awesome opportunity to assist and attend  Jeremy Chou's Photography Workshop.I meet him last weekend while assisting a wedding for him. He is such a friendly, helpful guy. I loved learning from him. The day of the workshop we meet in a lovely studio located in Fullerton then headed to a styled shoot planned by Just Wenderful with the help of furniture from This & That Vintage Rental. The wonderful flowers were provided by Pixies Petals and beautiful stationary by KM Paperie. I absolutely adored the bouquet and I even got to take it home!! Shh! Don't tell anyone. Leslie, the bride made by Serene Bridal Beauty, looked so gorgeous in her wedding gown. Leslie and her husband, Jaime, were awesome models, it probably helps that they were such good looking people. I loved how they interacted with each other, it definitely wants me to photograph more couples in love! Thank you, Jeremy Chou! Anytime you need another assistant, I'm available. :)

M&J | Upland Wedding Photography


    I had the pleasure of photographing Manny and Julia's wedding on June 22, 2013, one of the hottest days of summer. It didn't help that I was wearing all back with tights and boots. Ha! Although we were all sweating like crazy, it was a happy celebration of love and faith. The ceremony was held at the Fleur De Lis Chapel in Upland, California and the reception at the Sheraton in Cerritos, California. The chapel was small and filled with history and character, which I absolutely adored and the reception was so cutely decorated with a nautical theme. I could really see the love between Manny and Julia. Manny couldn't keep his eyes off of her and Julia was all smiles. Thank you for hiring me to shoot your wedding! Enjoy.
