Nice words from Becca + Jim!

We are just loving all the AMAZING emails that we’re receiving from our client-friends! This one comes from Becca and Jim:

**”Dana and Jeremy –

I wanted to thank you more than I think I can for the absolutely most wonderful pictures that I have ever seen.

I cannot believe how you were able to capture every moment and times I did not even witness and yet made me feel like I was re-living it all over again.

On top of this tremendous feat, you never seamed to be anywhere! I never once felt like there was a camera in my face and I had to smile or make sure I was looking at you for the pic. This being said, when you were there it was more as a couple of additional friends that we were so grateful to be sharing in our special day.

I cannot stop looking at the pictures either! I feel like I know what it means to be an addict now!

I am telling everyone in my entire WORLD about how amazing the two of you are and I am sure that eventually people are going to ask me to talk about something else. :)

I don’t know how I am ever going to narrow down my choices to my favorites, and I don’t think I can have 500 pictures of our wedding in our house!

The problems you have caused are wonderful though! I really cannot thank you both enough and I am going to start thinking of reasons and of events that I MUST have you at! Not only for photographs but just because I love you both so much.

You will be hearing form me soon!

xoxo,

Becca”**

Wendy + Scott, Wedding at Tivoli Terrace

We shot Wendy + Scott’s wonderful day last Friday and we finally got a chance to blog it! (It was one of four consecutive shoots so we had to recover!) Their wedding took place at this adorable little venue in Laguna Beach, Tivoli Terrace. Wendy planned their wedding so well. Everything went perfectly and we even had EXTRA time to shoot! It was such a great day with a great couple!

Beautiful Makeup by Kacee Geoffroy (who also referred Wendy to us. Thanks Kacee! We love working with you!)

Some wedding details.

Such a unique dress!

I loved how the pinks in this matched.

Her grandma’s necklace with a gorgeous neckline.

Jeremy got this awesome shot while hanging with the guys.

First look:

Fun wedding party!

The gorgeous bride:

I was obsessed with her neckline.

The handsome groom:

Ceremony.

I like how serious and moody this is.

Rings + hearts.

Love this night shot by Jeremy.

Thanks Wendy + Scott for sharing your great day with us!

Candy + Dave, Day After in a Graveyard

For our last shoot of the four day weekend, one of our favorite couples Candy + Dave came out for a fun Day After shoot. If you remember their engagement, it was entitled “Death of the Single Life” and we shot it in a cemetery. And their wedding was Day of the Dead themed. Flash forward several months; our super-fantastic blog designer Will found this perfect cemetery. It was just begging for us to do a Day After shoot with them in it!

We’re very attracted to the idea of the dark side of love. What I mean by that is; marriage is hard. Like, if you don’t think about getting a divorce at least once, there’s something wrong with you! (Maybe that’s why so many marriages end in divorce; they just don’t realize feelings of wanting to kill the other person are completely normal. Rest assured; they are! Ha.) And we love that Candy + Dave get that. That’s why their shoots have meant so much to us.

And we got to work with our very talented friends again: Makeup: Amy Marie Clarke and Hair: Hair by Melody

This is the shot I had envisioned and I didn’t even take it!

They’re so sweet; they melt my heart. BTW, anytime you see shots like this, it’s usually by my melty heart man, Jeremy.

Candy is amazingly gorgeous.

This is probably my fave. It’s always hard for me to choose!

He was a man.

What’s up with cemeteries closing so early?!
We ended up getting locked in and had to hop the fence! Dave climbed over first and got our handy ladder out of the car so we could climb over more easily.

Thanks Candy + Dave for being up for this and for dinner!

Candy + Dave Polaroid Preview

Okay, I’m a cheater. Previews are ways of doing blogs without REALLY doing blogs. I’m taking forever picking them. As usual. Plus Polaroids are good on their own.

Guess where we did their shoot?
