Studio M Bridal Shoot

Here are a few shots from our recent bridal shoot for Studio M! We had four gorgeous models to work with, so my job was pretty easy :) Thanks to everyone who helped out! Hair and make-up by the Studio M team (http://www.studiomupland.com/), and the beautiful flowers by Brassavolas Floral Couture in Chino (http://www.bblossoms.com/).

Kristen Lanai headshots

When Kristen & I get together for a shoot, we just laugh the whole time! The first time I ever took her headshots was in 2004, and since then she has designated me as her exclusive photographer. (Lucky me!) After several years of headshots, engagement photos & even her wedding, we work together like old pros! And we always get fabulous results…

Lesli & Kenny engagement session

Lesli and Kenny met years ago at a tucked-away spot in Mt. Baldy, Ca. referred to as "Party rock." This was a popular place for students at Upland High School to go on the weekends to get away from parents, homework, etc. & have some quality, uninterrupted time with their friends.

Lesli remembers the first time she laid eyes on Kenny. She was 16 years old & describes it as "love at first sight." At the time, Kenny had a "crazy girlfriend" and little Lesli wanted nothing more than to rescue her new love & make him her own. Years later in May of 2005, the two met again through a mutual friend, and from that day on they were inseparable. Their love grew & Kenny proposed on April 21, 2007. The wedding is planned for October 31, 2008 (Halloween!) in Las Vegas, Nv. Currently Lesli & Kenny live in Upland with their 3 cats, Sebastian, Delilah & Wolfgang Von Stinkenstein.

Lesli & Kenny decided to take their engagement photos at the place they first met, "Party Rock." However, the trail up to the rock has since been washed out, so we faced a challenging hike (in flip-flops) to get there! Despite the threat of rattle snakes & mountain lions, we were able to capture some UH-AMAZING photos!

What love looks like:
