We first learned of Lara + Tim's existence when we received a sweet email from Lara inquiring about our wedding photography services. The thing that drew us first to them was the way that Lara described her and Tim's relationship. Simply put:

"We are a very comical and loving couple and want someone to capture our special day!"

We were delighted when they decided to hire us right after our initial consultation with them!

Lara + Tim invited us shoot their engagement session in Marina Del Rey. Since they are both avid sailors, it was a perfect location that put them in an environment that they were both comfortable and natural in. We started at the beach and then headed over to the marina where we went aboard a boat that Tim looks after and sails as well. Introducing Lara + Tim!

Great shoot. Recently RSS'd (doesn't that sound better than "stalker") ya and looking forward to more. Great balance of lighting & ambient on the boat. Very creative and I love your color balance. Many times the distortion from the fisheye can be distracting and poorly placed. I love the bent pillar under the pier, I think it adds kind of a cool element to it.

Wow! We really have had such an amazing response to the first Lyon-Shop!!! We sold out JUST under 24 hours, woot-woot!

For those of you that wanted to attend, but didn't make it in time, not to worry, we will be doing more Lyon-Shops in the future.

Thanks again to everyone for their support, we CANNOT wait to meet our first 12 attendees, it's going to be a blast!!
