Seal Beach: Diana & John Engagement

“My sister (Diana) and John are real hams,” says Michelle.  Michelle is a previous Bride of mine from last year and it was at her wedding that I met these two crazy cats, Diana and John. Click  here to view Michelle’s wedding.

Well, they got engaged this year and will wed next month. We shot their engagement session at Seal Beach and along Main St. early this week. The week must have been real exciting, and I bet hectic, since they were leaving for a family trip to Hawaii the very next day after our session together.

Below are a few of my favorites from the session.

Maternity: Janet, John & Hanna

I had the pleasure of photographing Janet’s maternity session this past Sunday.  Some of you following this blog may recognize the amazing blue room from Janet and John’s wedding.  I just love color.  Janet’s pink outfit really pops against the contrasting blue wall.

Hanna is due very soon. We can’t wait to meet you.  Stay tuned for her baby session.

This is a really cute set of details. Janet’s got a good baby-bump.

Pregnant and still sexy!

Janet & John Wedding: San Gabriel Hilton

Janet and John  were married this past Sunday at the beautiful San Gabriel Hilton hotel.  Janet and John are high-school sweethearts. Carol, a Bridesmaid told a cute story of how the couple discovered that they both lived a few doors down from one another since the age of five.

I managed to get a hotel staff to assist me in hanging the wedding gown off one of the lighting fixtures in the hotel lobby.

John is a USC alumni and wanted photographs taken on the campus.  As a UCLA alumni, I had to force myself to go to USC :) All kidding aside, USC is a beautiful campus with great architecture and a beautiful garden in the courtyard.

The ceremony was held outdoors on the third floor of the hotel.  John works as a field staffer for State Assembly Member, Mike Eng who presided as the Officiant for their wedding.

I caught my second photographer’s flash as he photographed the Bridesmaids watching the first dance. The reflection of the table cloth and back wall forms a perfect image of a heart!

It was a tearful moment when this surprised guest arrived during the reception.
