Wow! 2015 was an awesome year. Not only were we able to capture memories for an incredible group of people, but we made some of our own along the way, including the opportunity to see one of the Wonders of the World. Pretty amazing. This year was particularly special since it was a year marked by photographing growing families of our past wedding couples. We also had the pleasure of photographing several high school friends’ weddings, which is always fun and reminiscent of a high school reunion – only better. ;) But, we also met so many new people, who came from all over the world; including Alaska, Illinois and England, just to name a few. Thank you to all those awesome people we worked with this year because YOU are what made this year so memorable.

We can not wait any longer to announce the return of our much anticipated Year in Review blog post and Facebook voting contest. Below, you’ll see one photograph from just about every wedding, engagement portrait session, surprise proposal, family portrait session, maternity shoot, newborn session, mitzvah / birthday party we shot in 2015 throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, Santa Barbara, around California, and beyond.
