Who says you can't have a backyard wedding on a shoestring budget and make it look like a million bucks?!  That's exactly what Vanessa and Eddie did in their backyard ranch style wedding in Queen Creek!  Vanessa's uncle let her and Eddie have full rein of his ranch style home tucked away in Chino Hills.  The property was full of rustic backgrounds and handmade signs, it truly had an authentic feel to it!  The sky was full of puffy clouds and backlit with a deep blue sky's that made these pics just pop!  Hope you enjoy these as much as I do:)

Congratulations Vanessa and Eddie, you two are beautiful together!

Marisol and Danny tied the knot in a quaint little church called St. Madeleine in Pomona California.  It was a Catholic ceremony that was filled with tradition and love!  Their little boy Butter's, was my muse for the day!  He was so excited that his mom and dad were finally making it official!  Congrats Marisol and Danny, you two make a gorgeous couple!

I am so excited to share this gorgeous wedding with all of you!  Nicole and Brandon tied the knot on last month at the beautiful Pierpont Inn in Ventura California. 

From the moment I met Nicole and Brandon it was like we peanut butter and jelly!  We all just got one another, which is VERY important when you are selecting your wedding photographer.  They told me the vision they had for their wedding, and then trusted me completely and thoroughly with their day.  All of my couples are special to me, however these two have a unique place in my heart.  They are such beautiful people inside and out and are so caring of everyone and everything around them.  I feel so incredibly blessed that they hired me out of every other photographer in Los Angeles to capture their day! 

I wish you both a lifetime of happiness times a Billion Trillion!!! Love Nichole:)

I was so ever lucky to photograph the most talented and beautiful Miss Dilana Robichaux, for the Safe Passage saves lives coffee table book.  Dilana is a singer, songwriter and performer.  She is best known as the runner-up contestant on the CBS reality television show Rock Star: Supernova.  She was also the lead singer for Traci Guns version of L.A Guns for a brief period in 2011. 

Dilana is seriously one of the most beautiful people I have ever photographed!   She is such an unbelievable natural, she absolutely belongs on stage!  We had such an amazing synergy with one another, it was truly an artists dance!

Dilana supports Safe Passage, a non-profit organization which transforms women and children of domestic violence.  Check out the coffee table book on Safe Passage's Website!  http://safepassagelives.org
