Trash the Dress: Lake Arrowhead | Lake Arrowhead Photographer

Then Comes Marriage

This shoot was absolutely, hands down one of the funnest shoots I’ve done to date. A bunch of us photographers went up to the mountains and got to take bridal portraits of 5 stunning brides, and even had the pleasure of having some of their husbands join them! I also got to use my 50mm 1.2 lens and it’s a beauty! I also learned some necessary stuff from my friend Wai, as I recently switched from Nikon to Canon, and some of my settings were wacky! I’m so in love with so many of these photos, and excited to show them to you! Enjoy!

In case you didn’t notice, I also changed up my blog majorly! Ok so maybe not majorly, but I’m SO happy with the revisions. I feel like it fits me even better now, and it needed a little facelift. This gives me a better template to work with to inspire my website that will be coming soon! Wahooo! What do you think of the new look??

P.S. I’m off to build a contraption in our backyard to keep the massive amounts of rain from flowing towards our house! Stay safe out there Californians!

In love with this image. The snow, the smile, the gorgeousness. I just wish I would’ve had more time with her!

These two were SO cute together. We got a lot of time to shoot with them, and I took full advantage!

Look at those gorgeous lashes!

Natalya, you are too gorgeous!

I love…

this….

sequence!

Erica, I could’ve shot photos of you allll day! This is my fave shot from the whole day. In love with it!

Credits to: Makeup: Amy Clarke (who also was the gorgeous blonde model!). Hair: Kristen Camacho (who also modeled but I didn’t get much time to photograph)!

Florals: Kelley with Lavenders Flowers (seriously my husband who doesn’t care about flowers was blown away by these arrangements. Hire her NOW).

Hair Pieces: Rachel Larraine (SOOO gorgeous, they totally completed the look for our models)!

If you hired this team of women, you’d have a DREAM TEAM on your wedding day!
