2010 | In Weddings, by Apertura

Nothing makes us happier than a beaming bride and groom. We feed off our clients’ energy and Krystle + Ben fueled us all day with their happy glow. Krystle looked amazing in her Vera Wang and the family bond is very palpable. We cried (ehm, a little) during the emotional father/daughter dance and danced along with the amazing band. As always, it was great working with Carolyn Chen again and it was truly an all-star team of vendors. Congrats again Krys + Ben!

Sandra + Bill: Engaged! 05/18/2010 | In Engagements, by Apertura

We had the pleasure of shooting Sandra + Bill’s Engagement session with their favorite items in the world: their cars! They wanted a more edgy-look so we decided to go to a location in downtown Los Angeles that is a bit rustic and industrial. Here are some of our favorites:
