Los Angeles portrait photographer session
Mary & Chris are rad and super in love. Together they created a simple and gorgeous space to live and laugh in together. I wanted to capture a casual and relaxed lifestyle session that showed real connection between two creatives. Mary, Chris and their DTLA loft were perfect for this endeavor.
Casual and vibrant are the words to best describe this intimate summer wedding nestled in the forest of the San Bernardino mountains in the charming town of Crestline. Jackie & Jon threw a colorful, DIY affair to celebrate their love with their closest friends and family. Both of them have a love for nature and the San Moritz Lodge made for the perfect setting.
These two have real chemistry. And, I mean actual chemistry. One of my favorite details from their day took place during the ceremony. Instead of the traditional unity candle or sand ceremony, Jackie and Jon made their symbol of joining together as one truly unique.
Thank you again Jackie & Jon for having me as your wedding photographer. You two were so fun to photograph and your love is apparent. You guys are perfect for each other. Congratulations!
Big thanks to my second shooter, David Sno.
Yay! Amy & Thom's gorgeously, geeky engagement session was featured on When Geeks Wed. To see the post, go here. I've posted a few (well, a lot cause I love so many) of my favorites here as well.
Needless to say, I had a phaser blast of a good time shooting these two powerhouse geeks in love. I have been a fan of Amy's blog Geek With Curves for a few years now. So, when she asked me to do a photo shoot of her and her talented comic book writer fiancé, Thomas Zahler of Love and Capes fame, I jumped at the chance. We brainstormed a couple of locations, like possibly Disneyland, and ulitmately came up with a most awesome location of the House of Secrets comic book shop in Burbank.
I knew that Amy was a big Star Wars fan, but when I found out Thom is a Trekkie/Trekker I got a little more excited, as I am more of a Trek fan myself. Then, when I was told there would be phasers and lightsabers involved, I got even more excited. It was fun to play up the whole Star Trek vs Star Wars angle, but all-in-all GEEK LOVE conquers all.
Congratulations to Amy & Thom on their engagement! LLAP, MTFBWY & XO Rachel

Amy is stunning in her TARDIS blue dress from Pin-Up Clothing complete with TARDIS necklace.
She incorporated some Doctor Who as Thom proposed to her in front of the TARDIS at Clockwork Couture. Now what girl could have resisted that?
