Effortless.

This bridesmaid from our spring shoot was so stunning. Sometimes our subjects who think they are the least comfortable in front of a camera end up looking the the most effortless. Can’t wait to share more of this shoot after it makes an appearance on Style Me Pretty :)

 

Campaign Dresser Makeover

When we moved into our new house in September, we had a lot of projects going on! It’s really about time I blog about one of my favorites, my little campaign dresser. I had seen some refinished campaign dressers online, and got inspired to try it out myself. We really got lucky one day at the Flea Market in Huntington Beach and scored this solid wood Campaign dresser for $30. I’ve been trying to get a little more daring with color, so I took in my favorite Design Sponge book to Home Depot and color matched the cover :)

To get started, I removed all of the brass hardware and sanded the dresser. Then I brushed on the first layer of paint + a mixture of floetral (to remove brush/roller marks). I let each coat try really well, and ended up using a roller and the paint + floetral mixture for the final three coats. Polishing up the brass hardware was the finishing touch! I am so happy with how cheery it turned out! Feeling encouraged to try some new projects :)Someone had to hop in on this one. Oh, Kean :)

Pam Cole - Sarah likes the candelabras. They sort-of match the unity candle holder she already got. I need to see if we can find some to rent or something, maybe. :)

Erin + Constantine // Engaged

We had the best time meeting and photographing Erin and Constantine for their mini engagement session! They currently reside in Philadelphia, and are some of the the sweetest people you’ll ever meet! When we arrived at Shucks Oyster Bar, they toasted us with champagne to kick off their shoot at the OC Mart Mix. We are so honored to be photographing their wedding this summer in Mammoth and are always grateful to work alongside LVL Events.

L+M // The Villa San Juan Capistrano

It was such an honor to photograph Laurie + Mike’s intimate wedding at the Villa San Juan Capistrano. We were so happy that it was published on one of our favorite blogs, Elizabeth Anne Designs! Laurie is an interior designer and had a French European vision for her wedding day. We loved how all of the details came together and the incredible flowers from the talented Floral Occasions! Also, a big thanks to My Sweet & Saucy for the desserts, Divel Entertainment, and flawless makeup by Makeup by Berit.

Brett R Hickman - Beautiful work, as always guys! Love the black and whites!

Aimee Grover - Thanks Brett R Hickman :)

Dana + Mike // Engaged

We went down to Cardiff By the Sea for Dana and Mike’s mini engagement session. It was our first time visiting the adorable little town. We totally fell in love and instantly knew why Dana and Mike wanted their love documented on that special little beach. We think you’ll agree that they felt right at home in Cardiff – they were one of the most relaxed couples in front of the camera. Here are a few of our favorites from their session :)

Michelle Clemente-Lange - What a gorgeous couple! I absolutely love her knit sweater.

Aly Carroll - I love how natural and genuine these images feel! Amazing work Troy + Aimee!

Jenny + Reid // Ojai engagement session on film

We had the best time shooting engagement photos for our friends Jenny + Reid! Super excited that their engagement session was published on Inspired By This! I think you’ll agree, they are adorable together :) It was fun road tripping up to Ojai, exploring the cute little town & playing around with film. We also got to celebrate Jenny’s Birthday with her, so that makes these photos a little extra special :) Such a fun way to remember this sweet time in life. Congrats guys! Couldn’t be happier for you two!
