Lauren + Steven had a lovely morning wedding at The Nixon Library. Everyone was super happy and it was a beautiful day!

Jennie is my cousin. Actually my first cousin once removed (my first cousin’s daughter). I took an overnight flight out to shoot this (immediately after I shot Izabell + Josh’s) which was crazy. But I had so much fun and was so happy to see my wonderfully funny family as a bonus.

Jennie + Joe are also my FOURTH couple to have met on Match.com! Awesome.

Cute little OH-HI-YA church.


First look.




This is just for my own personal amusement. My Daddy and my Patte.


The theme at the reception: games, mustaches and fun!


Mustache fun. I too had to get in on this action.

Izabell + Josh got married at Crestmore Manor. This is one of the only places I’ve shot at more than three times. I feel like Crestmore Manor’s official photographer! ha. I love shooting there.  I liked how Izabell + Josh set up the ceremony in front of the house; I hadn’t seen that before. It was such a great day!

Drew + Erik are great! They had such a lovely wedding at Surf and Sand Resort in Laguna Beach. I love how emotional Erik got when we did their first look. Reason 219487987 why I heart this couple!

Hi Dana, We just received our photos in the mail, yay!  We just wanted to let you know that we LOVE our pictures!  You did such a great job capturing all of the special moments.  We knew you were great at photography but when we saw our pictures we were amazed at the artistic element that you brought to them.  I really like the way you use the natural light in photos and shoot at different angles.  I will recommend to anyone who is getting married to hire you as a photographer.  You make wedding pictures look like a magazine photo shoot, it is great to know that we have these to remember that special day forever.  We would not have had these great memories without you being there to capture them, thank you so much.  We love you Dana, can’t wait to work with you again.
