We had an awesome time exploring downtown LA with these two. They introduced us to a delicious new smoothie place and we got to see some cool sights we had never seen before.

Emily Heizer Photography: That wide shot with all the negative space and the couple in the lower right foreground is STUNNING. That's a canvas! If they don't get a major sized canvas of that shot, they are crazy! It's BEAUTIFUL and STUNNING and AMAZING! I want it for me! How random would it be for me to have that shot with my beagle blown up??? LOL (08/05/12, 03:22)

Madeline + Andrew’s E-Session

When I look back at this session, all I remember is how brave and adventurous these two were for coming up to Park City, UT during the Sundance Film Festival in an insanely crazy blizzard and then also braving everything to shoot something I’m proud to share today. :) I remember shooting this snowy bride and groom session awhile back and trying to compare and it’s impossible. They both throw in challenges of cold, wetness, craziness, beauty, etc. I was just stoked at how brave they were and never once did they complain. I think looking back it snowed close to 24″ in Park City, UT that couple days. It was honestly one of my most favorite weekends ever!

Becky McArthur: GORGEOUS!!! (13/03/12, 06:01)

Emily Heizer: Now that is a real snow session! Holy cow! What brave people madeline and Andrew are! Good going guys, and PROPS to Matt & Angie- my lenses steam up half the time when I'm out in that white fluffy stuff! :) (13/03/12, 07:23)

Carolyn Scott: These are gorgeous! Major kudos and props to Madeline and Andrew for being awesome enough to not be scared of the snow and wet clothes! It was definitely worth it! (14/03/12, 01:33)

Jenna: I LOVE brave and adventurous couples. These are so beautiful and so fun! (15/03/12, 09:43)

Janelle + Johnathan’s E-Session

11.08.2011 | Engagement Session | 11 comments

There are some couples that just have this amazing natural chemistry. They fit so perfectly. They feel so comfortable wherever they are that they don’t even notice people are around, basically because they are so engaged with one another. That is Janelle and Jonathon. This is the beginning of their story. It started in Hawaii with an engagement session (then ended with an awesome elopement) in some of the most beautiful places we have ever seen.

Rachel Ranalli: They are just the cutest couple! I love everything about this shoot :] (08/11/11, 01:15)

carly: Giggity. :) (08/11/11, 01:24)

Lyndzee Ellsworth: LOVE!! The shots on the cliff with the water below are insane. Love you guys. (08/11/11, 05:26)

ala cortez: holy sh*t! this session blew my mind! amazing! (08/11/11, 05:44)

Jill Candland: I swear you guys are magic. Like somehow you command the sun and all things around to make perfect light--it always makes me say--"How'd they do that?" This was one. This couple must L.O.V.E. these. Seriously you guys poop talent. (can I say that???) (08/11/11, 05:55)

james readhead: very very nice....the neg space shots are unreal...looks like they're on the moon...such a good shoot. (09/11/11, 02:12)

Lauren Brimley: Beautiful! I especially love the ones of them sitting on the cliff with them looking at the ocean. Such beautiful colors! (09/11/11, 10:02)

Rachel + Neil’s E-Session

11.02.2011 | Engagement Session | 28 comments

I had never been to Vancouver before, or Canada, so when I was over the moon excited when Rachel contacted us about her engagement and wedding. We have known Rachel for over a year now as she once flew down to SoCal last year to hang out with us and get taught at a private Mentoring Sessions. She is a really talented person, artist, and photographer. We all instantly were BFF’s and have tons of quirky things in common. :) Vancouver is a beautiful place and just felt so unique to me. Was excited to run around with them for 2 days (one was sunny and the other rainy, which I loved!) and eat some of the yummiest sushi ever! Excited to explore Calgary next year at their wedding. :)

jsa: living the dream. (02/11/11, 02:11)
