Angela + David || Engaged || Teasers

JUSTINELEMENT — Tue, 21 May 2013 03:28:42 +0000

I found out when Angela and David found me that they have been following my work for years from a few couples I’ve worked with in the past, going back to 2011! When I shot them the other weekend I knew I had to make sure their photos held up to the ones I did years ago, after looking at them when they were all done, I noticed how much things have changed, how much we’ve grown and our styles have matured. I’m excited to show you their set and shoot their wedding at the beautiful Padua, Angela and David we’re incredible to work with and I’m glad we found some gems of a location at Claremont. Yay for hippies, not them but the people that helped us haha (long story). Hope you all enjoy!

Happy Mothers Day friends! In honor of our mother’s here’s a beautiful family session with 5 beautiful mothers. One of my favorite families, Erin and Rocky have come to us to shoot their event, maternity, family, and wedding photos since I can remember and I couldn’t be more blessed to provide for this beautiful family.

Thank you for including me in your lives yet again and I’ll see you soon. I hope everyone’s mother’s day weekend is going well, please tell you moms happy mother’s day for me! Please enjoy!

Shayna + Bryan || Married || Castaway, Burbank

JUSTINELEMENT — Fri, 10 May 2013 03:13:28 +0000

I love love loved this wedding. Shayna and Bryan did it beautiful and their family and friends, amazing. We shot Shayna and Bryan’s wedding full on with our studio booth, full photo coverage, and full video coverage and had a great time being so engrossed in their day. It started out with a side by side room where the guys got to watch the Laker/Clipper game and the girls, well they were just getting ready. The guys literally got ready in 12 seconds after the game though. We had a beautiful first look followed by a simple session with everyone just outside of the Glendale Embassy Suites. At the end, Shayna and Bryan shared an intimate sunset ceremony at the Castaway in Burbank and showed us how to party. This is their last installment of photos but they still get to relive their day with their full feature film which we’ll be delivering to them personally. Hope you enjoyed our posts about Shayna and Bryan, we loved their very creative wedding, full of do it yourself props and decor and a splice of their personalities. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day, I can’t believe how small the world truly is :) Thanks guys! Please enjoy!

Carissa + Michael || Married || Highlight Video

Kevin — Thu, 02 May 2013 03:34:12 +0000

Tears and laughter filled the crowd during Carissa Rae and Michael’s vows to each other last week. Maybe that’s what you get when you put two artistic people together, maybe that’s what you get when you put two people who are in love with one another as much as they are together. In one day, I was personally able to witness that there are indeed two people out there in the world who fit so perfectly together. As they day progressed and we moved from the getting ready part of the day, to the ceremony, to the reception, I couldn’t help but feel as if I were in the show “How I Met Your Mother”. Everyone that I had encountered, friends, family, and neighbors, had something to tell me about them, and I followed their story to where they are now. All that running around in a grocery store paid off Michael! Come and relive their special day with us one more time through this video!

Tina + Chris || Engaged || Hermosa Beach

Kevin — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:13:22 +0000

Justin and I, or let’s say mostly I, haven’t been active at all in a while, so this weekend with Tina and Chris was a definite change in my everyday lifestyle. You could say that they’re the opposite of your typical bride and groom. Instead of using their time working to look their best for their big day, they actually have to sacrifice their exercising time to plan this wedding. As volleyball enthusiasts and party animals go, Tina and Chris definitely know their way around a game in the sand and a game flipping cups. We hit up the town of Hermosa Beach and found ourselves crawling and lurking in every kind of nook and crevice we could find.
