Simply put, this engagement session makes me happy. Kayla and Sean couldn’t be more perfect for each other and it was such a thrill to be able to capture that special something they share. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding (only 18 days to go)!

August 16, 2011 - 5:45 am - Chelsea, these are truly beautiful! I love the concept and elements of the plane shots. The shots on Sean's bike are my favorite. You were definitely the perfect choice for my baby brother and new sister. :) Can't wait to meet you at the wedding! Jen
August 16, 2011 - 12:46 am - WOW WOW WOW!!!!! These are AMazing!!!!! I love that first one with the colour of hte light, what a beautiful and confident couple!
When I first met up with Leanne and Danny to chat about plans for everything, we instantly hit off. It helps that they’re the type of couple that anyone would love to be around! They love hosting parties at their place (especially football parties), traveling and trying new things. Also, I could totally relate to the fact that Leanne and Danny are dog lovers who treat their pets like part of the family. Leanne has two adorable, impossible-not-to-spoil-rotten yorkies and Danny has a sweet chocolate lab named Hershey. I’m so happy they brought them out to play for a few photos! Big thanks goes to their friends who came out to puppysit in-between.
If you couldn’t tell from the pictures, Leanne and Danny are both sports fanatics! It’s even how they first met. Leanne was first introduced to Danny at a pizza party for the soccer team she co-coached. They truly are the perfect match – even if they do root for opposing teams! Here they’re sporting their fabulous football jerseys:
Danny has a beautiful vintage 1973 Chevy Pick-up truck that he has lovingly restored. I was super stoked when they agreed to take it out to the desert to play for some photos! 
To top things off, they also brought out a bunch of vintage luggage that had stickers of all the places they’ve traveled together.
Stay tuned for a fusion-video from Leanne & Danny’s engagement session that’s going to premiere at their wedding this fall at the Four Seasons Las Vegas (and being coordinated by the fab Brit Bertino of Simply Weddings). 
I’m collaborating on the fusion piece with one of my good friends and talented wedding cinematographer Terrence Lighten of Lighten Films!
August 18, 2011 - 6:40 pm - LOVE THE PICS. WISHING YOU MUCH HAPPINESS

Remember Rowena and JD (click here for a refresher of their e-session at Nelson’s Landing)?! Well I’m excited to post up the engagement fusion video Jayse put together for them!
Rowena and JD have been together since high school and it’s amazing to see their easy going chemistry. Also, it’s awesome that they based their vibrant Orange, Yellow and Purple wedding colors partly on the San Francisco Giants! I love how Jayse incorporated both of these things in the video.
Check it out!~
I can’t wait for the wedding next summer where the video is going to be played on big screens at The Ranch Golf Club in San Jose, CA.
October 29, 2010 - 1:29 pm - Thanks for the info Rowena! Ya Im super excited for ours. No Im not from the bay but have some fam and friends up there. Im in L.A. Your H&M look really good so assumed you had someone do it but if you did it and it looks that great, I'll just do my own too =)
October 26, 2010 - 6:35 pm - Gel: Hi Gel!! Thanks! Chelsea and Jayse did a wonderful wonderful job! Those 2 are amazing! Are you from the bay? we actually did the video at Nelson Landing and I did my own H&M. You'll have tons of fun with Chelsea in January. I was kinda nervous because Im not use to having someone take pictures of me but she makes you feel totally comfortable. It was lots of fun!
October 25, 2010 - 7:27 am - Chelsea-we can see the video correctly now. Don't know why it was flickering to us before..maybe it was the laptop but I see it correctly now and its fab! Rowena-Sorry you dont know me but love the video. Seeing that you did your video and shoot in vegas (Spring Preserve, right? ) and are from the bay..did you do your own hair and make up or did you have someone there do it? If so, who? Were planning on doing our shoot with Chelsea in Jan but need a H&M person. Thanks!

Jill and Ian first met in her freshman year / his sophomore year of high school and these two high-school sweethearts have been inseparable ever since! Here they are 8 years later – having grown together and grown even more in love over the years. I can’t wait for their wedding this coming December at the gorgeous Cascata Country Club – today’s the 6 month away mark!
One of Jill and Ian’s favorite things to do together is going hiking with their sweet dog Simone. So of course, we had to include her in a few photos!
Jill is getting her flirt on – yep, she’s still got it!
Jill + Ian: I had so much fun with you guys! I’m so excited for the wedding!

June 4, 2010 - 8:46 pm - AAAAH! I love them so much! You're so amazing...and Ian & Simone look so cute! :)
Jayse and I got together with Rowena and J.D. for their engagement session & fusion video which is going to be played on big screens at their wedding next summer. The wedding is going to be at Hotel Valencia and The Ranch Golf Club in San Jose, CA and is bound to be gorgeous. I can’t wait!
One of Rowena and J.D.’s favorite things to do together is taking mini road trips and roaming about small towns. And we hit up a small gold-mining town where we could do just that for their engagement shoot! We had such an amazing time exploring and goofing off together.
Rowena’s a nurse and both her and J.D. have medical background, so we had her bring out her stethoscope to play with for a few photos…
Rowena and J.D. also brought their adorable dog, Dakota along to play. You could tell she was just as much an adventurer as her parents! She was definitely enjoying the unlimited new sights and smells to be found. Big thanks goes to J.D.’s brother, Jordan for watching the pup throughout our time there!
