When Justin and I were first married we lived in Pasadena. One of our favorite things about Pasadena was all of the amazing architecture. We had an engagement session scheduled with the lovely Irma and the uber talented Patrick this las Saturday in Pasadena and we remembered this one specific location we always thought would be super cool to use for a photo-shoot, so we decided to go there. I was super happy with the way that all of the images turned out and our AWESOME couple was nothing short of FABULOUS!!!
Just to give a quick background on how we know Patrick and Irma, Justin has become good friends with Patrick through a mutual friend, as he has helped Patrick on a few high-end clothing companies. Patrick is a crazy talented clothing designer, Justin even dropped his name on the Bludomain Interview we did a few weeks ago, when asked what kind of jeans he wears, Justin wrote, "A custom pair of Patrick Winget's" (they really are my husband's favorite jeans to wear!). When Patrick became engaged to the sweet Irma they hit us up to hire us for their wedding photography and I was stoked not only to work with these two rad individuals, but to have the opportunity to shoot a wedding that is sure to be fun and unique in design and attire! P.S. EVery outfit that Irma is wearing in this engagement session her mother hand made, so together Irma and Patrick have a double fashion background!
I realize that there are no people in this photo, but I thought is was such a cool shot of the architecture we were working with.
My favorite shot of the day...kudos to Justin!
Get ready for their wedding in just a few weeks!!!

Austin + Jean were married on February 7th at the Occidental College in Los Angeles. This was an interesting day as it was a 100% forecast to rain the ENTIRE day. Not only were we praying for a break from the bad weather, but we heard that Austin's grandmother praying hard as well! Upon arriving to the Langham Hotel in Sierra Madre for prep photos the clouds parted and the sun shined on through...the day could not have been more gorgeous! See, prayers do get answered! Oddly and lucky enough, we had no rain until, literally, the minute the reception started and then it came down like cats and dogs!!!
While Justin attended to the men getting ready I found Jean waiting in her room and all beautified, thanks to talented make-up artist and hair-dresser extraordinaire Nicole DeAnne.
Jean was apparently excited:)
Austin played it cool...
Jean seriously makes for a gorgeous bride!
LOVE this shot by Justin!
The first glance.
My favorite shot of the day, simple, classic, elegant...
Second favorite, artistically shot by Justin.
Austin + Jean were the best to work with!!! We also had such a fun time hanging with them at the WPPI Convention a week later in Las Vegas! Click here to see their slideshow with more awesomeness from their wedding day!

In Justin's favorite is that a reflection and a mirror? I love it slash I'm confused by it, haha!!!
Also, quick question, the grain in most of the photos, is that from PP or is that in camera?

These are beautiful, no...Enchanting, yes enchanting is the word! Nice work. :) I don't want to look at anyone else's work today to be inspired I just want to keep running the shots from the slide show through my head and lock those feelings and moments in as to what everyone and anyone would want to walk away from a wedding with (couple or photographer).
Thanks for sharing your amazing work and being such an inspiration (I read your blog often and it never disappoint's).
