We shot Anthony + Lindsey's engagement session at the Montage in Laguna Beach and if we had to choose a beach to shoot at it would be there, this location is beautiful not super crowded!
My favorite shot of the day! That's real sunglare, baby!
Love this overhead shot by Justin!
Anthony + Lindsey were great to work with...we know their wedding is going to be a blast! Ps. Thanks Anthony for introducing us to La Sirena Grill!

Well, I don't really know which one to chose as a favorite, b/c they are all fab-U-lous! I love the silhoette, and them laying down in the grass-mostly grass with a little bit of couple and I just love the coloring on your images. simply awesome!

My fun new photog friend, Denise Bovee, asked me to shoot some portraits for her profile page on her website, I happily agreed and felt flattered to be hired by an upcoming awesome photographer! If you haven't seen Denise's work yet, check her out, she's new, but super creative and inspiring in her use of color, composition, and natural light!
My favorite shot of the day, I've been wanting to shoot next to an oil rig for a long time!
Nicole Neff said:
Wow, awesome images! She's so beautiful and has great style...you guys really did a great job on these! And I checked out her site, and she is doing some really great work already.

These pics rock Amelia! We've been admiring Denise's work for a little while and think these pics capture her style perfectly! We used to visit that bubble tea place all the time and didn't even realize how many great places to shoot there are around there.

Caroline Ghetes said:
Wow! If I were her I would have an EXTREMELY hard time picking just one for my profile page. They are ALL awesome! And she is very beautiful too! Wonderful pictures! Just gorgeous!

Have you ever gotten a bad review? Seriously, like I doubt it. You want one? Okay...I'll do my best:... Roger says in his review of the Lyons taking photos of an up and comer..."Well, for my taste it was a little TOO perfectly fun and photojournalistic. It was way TOO fresh and Denise is a little TOO fashionable and good looking. I thought if the Lyons stunk just a little bit at all, this shoot would've actually made the archives as a descent shoot, with a bad after taste". There you have it, officially your first bad review. You're welcome.

P.S. Denise is radical, so check her stuff out...and her cousin looks like Jack Black's sidekick on Nacho Libre.

OhMyGosh!!!! Seriously. I’m in love with the Polaroid shot and I too have always wanted to shoot by an oil rig, so cool. I am also a very new pt photog and have really wanted to have some fun pictures taken for my site. I totally agree that people should be able to put a face with the name, but I cant find any one to take them for me! ;) ..... Maybe you can get back to me and we can arrange something?! I would LOVE to get a few shots that are like a fraction of this hotness! BTW you guys have done an awesome job yourselves of giving a great image of who you really are with your work and you awesome pics of yourselves!

I love the one of her with the Polaroids! It totally rocks! She looks like sooo much fun!
(08.10.08 08:28 PM)
Faith said:
These are all amazing!! I especially love the one with all the the polaroids and the one where she's looking out of the window a coffee shop. I also LOVE the one right above the polaroids shot - you can see her cute ring and her pretty brown eyes - that's the one I'd probably use if it were me!
These are all SO awesome!
(08.19.08 10:13 AM)
ONE LOVE PHOTO said:
LOVE, LOVE the one with the polaroids thrown about. I hope she uses that one because it says soooooooo much and is so unique!

Hi Amelia! You are toooo good! Amelia will be photographing me and my fiance for our upcoming wedding and we are soooooooooooo excited! Not only is she so personable and fun she is super talented! We feel blessed to have met her! :) Also, your ever-too-kind sister will be doing the hair and makeup for our wedding party! She is sooooo good! I guess talent runs in the blood of your family! :)
Anyway, I was wondering where these photos were shot! And if you have any suggestions on where to take pictures. Thanks so much!!

First Whammy: Happy 6 year anniversary to my life-long sweetheart, I can't believe how lucky I am to be married to the most amazing man alive! The past 6 years have been nothing short of happiness and excitement, here's to the rest of our forever Justin!!!! I love my Hudd!
Second Whammy: We found out on our anniversary, August 2nd, that we won the Blu Photographer of Year 2008-2009 award! WOW! (Imagine our jaws dropped to the floor!) We can't believe it! WAHOOOOO! When we found out about our nomination we were extremely honored and flattered to just be mentioned among the other talented photographers in running. We want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that follows and supports our work, also to those who took the time to vote for us! This has been a fun ride and we loved every minute of it! We've read everyones' comments and feel a deep sense of gratitude for what has been said.
This photo was taken at my family reunion on our anniversary at the top of Sierra Trigo, I think it best fits how fun that day was! Yippee!
