Rebecca + Jonathan, Wedding at The University Club in Pasadena

Rebecca and Jonathan met with us two years ago and we hit it off right away! We shot their engagement session last summer and had such a great time talking. So we were very excited to be shooting their wedding last Saturday, finally! They’ve been waiting a long time to get married too as they were high school sweethearts. They are wonderful people: filled with love for God, family and friends. We’re so happy we got to experience their day with them (even though both of us shed a tear or two!)

I’ve never seen a bride help all the girls get in their dresses AND help her mom with hairspray! She’s the Anti-Bridezilla!

Happy bride!

Handsome and happy groom.

Fun guys!

Girlies.

Standing in front of the fan while putting veil on equals this.

JP was sooo funny! He kept his eyes closed so much that he kept holding the wrong hand out and having his back turned the opposite direction!

But we finally got it:

I have a hunch he was excited to see his bride!

They were excited to finally be husband and wife!

Most brides these days don’t have a blusher so it was fun playing with it.

Love them!

Next we found some interesting spots for pictures. We were given full reign!

This is all Jeremy and it may be my fave! Her eyes are amazingly blue!

Shoes per their request!

We really wanted to show off their bling so we lit the heck out of it! (photographers will know what this is!)

Their first dance was so sweet. This was in between him singing to her the whole time.

Fun was had by all dancing the night away!

Thanks Amy and Melody for a great job on hair and make up as usual!

Leilah + Zack, Day After Session in Palm Springs….

The day after session of Leilah + Zack took place in 110 Palm Springs heat (Jeremy swears it was 118) at 1pm, which in case you didn’t know is the hottest time AND the most harsh light. We had quite the challenge. And I should also mention that after we were done, I looked at the time stamp in camera and it took us all of 16 minutes for the entire shoot!

But we rocked the heck out of those 16 minutes!

Isn’t she sooo cute?!

Jeremy’s shot inspired by the cake topper. It was so hot, the cupcake melted!

One more ring shot for fun!

Then it was off to the swinging pool party:
