There isn't a whole lot of mystery on how these two wound up together.Clearly it is written all over their smiles and the way they look at each other.

We wish you both euphoria times infinity. Thank you for allowing us to be with you on your biggest day ever, to date.

We also had the repeated pleasure of working with the amazing Vinnie Boy Entertainment. And thank you for letting us borrow your uplighting for this image.

Sisters

 Bless you, my darling, and remember you are always in the heart — oh tucked so close there is no chance of escape — of your sister. ~Katherine Mansfield

From the oldest to the youngest there's no greater bond than the bond of sisters.

Out of death comes new life. Believe it or not, this is location was involved in a portion of a 200-acre brush fire that occurred in mid-August. After the fire, there were a couple of storms that passed and from that rain, new life. Isn’t life wonderful!

It's exciting when you find parts of yourself in someone else.

The one phrase could not be more suitable for Mr. and Mrs. Canjura. I guess it's why they can make this look like a cover of a romance novel.

Patty & Orlando

You know that you are with the love of your life when you can watch the sun rise and set in her eyes all while she holds your gaze lovingly, and longing for that future as your wife.

We can’t wait for your big day and what the future has in store for you both. Love, love, love…..

Jennifer & German

They say that rain is good luck at a wedding and that it represents fertility, unity, and cleansing. Since a wedding is known as tying the knot, it is believed that a wet knot is harder to untie making the bond that much stronger. It is also seen as a symbol of fertility, wellness and prosperity. The rain also cleanses, and with that, the washing away of all the bad of the past and bringing in a fresh, new day.

Seeing them together is more than enough to know that their unbridled love for each other is deep and unbreakable. And with their soon-to-be new addition to the family, shows that they’re already off to a great start.

As for the rain and all that it brings? Well… the rain is just a bonus.

Mary & Robert

Love is so rare, and some of us only find it once. Some are lucky to find it twice. Robert is one of those people, and it's perhaps because he himself carries that first love in his heart everywhere he goes that makes him able to find love yet again.

With his beloved Mary and their 5 children, they celebrate a second chance at love. We wish them many years of happiness, health and love.

Tori

To the young, the brave and the untamed. The world is waiting for you and we need you!! Congratulations class of 2015!!

Tori is one of the brave and bold,she must take after her mom- and she looks pretty much exactly like her too.

We wish you well out there making your own journey and having an adventure. We love you and couldn't be prouder.

Jocelyn's Quince

We have had the pleasure of many Quince's, Debut's and beautiful Brides.

Jocelyn we had to rename and call her "Mona Lisa"; that smile that tries to mellow the bliss, that coy look that mutes the bravery within is why we will remember her and the day she let us follow her around!

Thank you for allowing us to be your annoyance for the day.

Quince

Traditionally in a Mexican-Catholic family when you are born and you are a female, mom usually starts to imagine the Quince. Not so much for the party, but more about the person that your little girl will be. It's usually agreed that the person they are when they are that age, is the person they are inside, for the rest of their lives.

We are mature enough to handle ourselves in a public domain, but we carry ourselves with a sort of naivety that can easily be misguided and taken advantage of. The sort of innocence and purity that only a child can convey. All while trying to juggle new feelings, relationships and coping with letting go of that innocence.

You become that woman you were born to be. With a white dress, signifying purity, in the church you were baptized you renew your loyalty to God. In front of your loved ones, who bring you this far only to present you to the world.

Liz

My lovely this weekend was my little Lizzy Bear. The little bossy Lizzy bear has grown to become a beatiful, still bossy, smart and sassy young lady.

This girl has tried at least six or seven sports in her life and seems it has been non-stop since she could walk! I get tiered just listening to her talk a mile a minute!

This weekend she was being bossed around, and what do you know?? She dealt well, mature and respectful. Makes me proud to call her my boo. Can't wait to party with this girl!

Jocelyn

What a great day it was Saturday! Well at least for photography. It didn’t rain but there was enough cloud cover to make it interesting. What better time to go out and photograph then when there are clouds in SoCal! A definite rarity over here!

So off we went to photograph Jocelyn and create some memorable Quince portraits. Don’t let her Mona Lisa smile fool you though. Behind that smile lies a woman that can kick a… well… you know.
