Jason + Kelly were married on March 7th in Newport Beach at the LDS Temple.This wedding was super fun, mainly because Jason + Kelly are some of the coolest peeps ever and just happen to be super good friends of ours (you can re-read the story of them by visiting their engagement session post). It was sort of weird because we worked all day, but it didn't feel like work because we were hanging out with some of our favorite friends! So glad Jason + Kelly not only invited us to be guests of the wedding day, but to capture it as well. It was a great day to say the least!
Love this shot of Kelly and her dad as he embraced her once she and Jason exited the temple.
Justin with some of his good college buddies.
Justin hopped in front of me to take a turn and I saw THIS:
My favorite shot of the day!
Before the reception, Jason + Kelly had a small ring ceremony, which is not typical for LDS weddings, but it was very sweet.
Don't forget to check out this slideshow I posted with more fun shots from Jason + Kelly's wedding!
Last, I wanted to post this shot of us with some of our closest friends:), love you Amber, Rich, Jr., and Kelly!

These look awesome Amelia! The craziest thing is that Jason and Kelly just moved into our ward! It's such a small world. Love the ring shot! So creative.

Is it really possible that you two keep coming up with better and greater and more awesomer ideas? I am amazed in the best possible way at your work. I LOVE looking at your images and get so excited each time you post. You don't know this (well, now ya do), but I am in love with your work. They are all incredible pieces of art. I love the cropping and composition and coloring of your images. Thanks for inspiring and pushing me to keep growing as a photog.

When searching for a location to photograph Patricia + Art for their engagement session, Justin reminded me of the awesome colors we had seen a few weeks prior in Downtown Silver Lake. We decided to go there and we seriously had so much color to work with...I loved it!!! It was also helpful that Patricia + Art were great subjects to have in front of our camera, super photogenic and ultra fun to work with!
I know that this counts as two photos, but together they make for my favorite "diptych" of the day!
On the side of the road against this amazing teal building we saw this old school yellow bug bus...we had to take advantage of the situation.
Where's Waldo????
I literally saw this writing on a metal bar right next to where we were shooting, thought it would help tell the story a little better:)
Sun-glare and twiggy trees equals I'm in love!
Lastly, a shot of the city over Echo Park.
If you like how beautiful Patricia looks, you should check out the master mind behind her look by visiting Nicole DeAnne's blog!Wedding to follow in November!

My favorite part of this shoot is the random little kid standing in the window of the teal building! Re-dick-u-lous!! But seriously, I love the way you pull out the beauty in your surroundings.

Wow. Your shots through the bus window are super inspiring! I really dig when you juxtapose a portrait image with another cool element, like the branches shot...your posts are always so stylish and well thought-out, not just a list of cool images. nice :)

long-time follower, first-time commenter here :) i just adore the way you allow these couples the freedom to star in their own "movie"--often your shots remind me of film stills or ad promo shots...which are wonderful, because each couple deserves that break from their life and a little spotlight to celebrate their love.

I'm totally writing this on your computer, in your office, at your house. Is this a first? Neither of you are in site, only voices from the bedroom saying "Roger...we'll be out in a minute.". Don't worry, I'll wait for you, actually I think your driving, so that's good. That's means I won't leave without you. As for this post, it makes me want a VW bus again. Doesn't everyone at one time want a VW bus? Awesome and amazing are you two.
