Happy New Year! 2011 was an incredible year for Embrace Life Photography. We had the honor of meeting lots of amazing people, shooting many beautiful occasions, and creating some spectacular photographs along the way. Since we struggled to keep up with sharing everything we’ve done this year, we decided to share our favorite photograph from each 2011 wedding, proposal, and couples’ portrait shoot in one big blog post — with a fun contest attached!

Hawaii Newlywed Portrait Photography

With the holidays fast approaching, a lot of people are preparing to travel to see family or to get away with their families on vacation. If you’re one of the lucky ones, you’ll be able to get out of the cold (you know… these freezing 50° California winter days are almost unbearable) and travel to some tropical location. For those of us who can’t, here is a blog post to help get you through. =)

Back in March we photographed Kent + Darcy’s Oahu, Hawaii Wedding at the JW Marriott Ihilani at Ko Olina which you can see on our blog here. The day after the wedding, Adam had the pleasure of shooting a Newlywed Session with the newlyweds. Kent is from Oahu and decided on a great location on the island, the Waimea Valley Waterfall and Gardens. They also got a few sunset shots at Waimea Bay, which is world famous for big wave surfing (although there wasn’t much surf that day). It was a perfect Hawaiian day and a great way to start off their Hawaiian honeymoon.

Some of you might have seen the Sneak Peek on Facebook of Samantha + Mark’s Newlywed Session. And, we are really excited to share more of their shoot with everyone. Samantha + Mark are from Toronto, Canada and were married in a small ceremony with family and close friends there before coming to California for their honeymoon. They chose to have their shoot at the Parker Palm Springs, which is an awesome location to do portraits. There are just so many beautiful locations around the property that offered a ton of variety. Adam had a great time hanging out with Samantha + Mark and we hope they enjoyed their time in sunny California. It was such a pleasure working with you and planning the day out. Congratulations you guys! Thanks for letting us be a part of this special day!

Sequoia Forest Newlywed Session

Megan and Zach were looking to do something special for their wedding photography. They were having wedding parties all across the country in three different states. Since it was difficult to plan having wedding photographers at each party, they wanted to do a Newlywed Session with just the two of them somewhere “green and foresty”. So, they ended up at the gorgeous (and very green) Sequoia National Forest and Log House Lodge on Memorial Day. What an awesome session! It was absolutely breathtaking scenery and Megan and Zach looked awesome in their wedding attire. What a great backdrop to have for your wedding photographs that you can enjoy for years to come. Thanks to Megan and Zach for the great idea to shoot in such a beautiful area of California.

Wow -  I had so much fun with Angela and Mike on the last day of 2008!  They came all the way down to Palm Springs from their home – Seattle, Washington – to enjoy a quiet, private wedding ceremony in the warmth and sunshine of Southern California.  They seriously couldn’t have picked a better day!

Angela and Mike were staying at the Viceroy, an amazing hotel that was a blast to shoot at:
