Fun Disneyland Engagement Session from Theresa Bridget Photography

"Ryan and I chose to have a shoot at Disneyland because we LOVE Disneyland..I mean, we did get engaged there also =). I think it's apparent in our story that Disneyland is just one of our "things." Ryan and I go to Disneyland almost every weekend and it's not even just to ride the rides. Ryan and I enjoy walking around and eating all the delicious food. Disneyland is a quick escape for us, it's a happy place where we can just enjoy each others' company. Ryan and I had a tough time finding a photographer who had an annual pass and was as passionate about Disney as we were, so when we stumbled upon Theresa and Greg through a friend we were more than excited to shoot with them! We were able to incorporate a lot of "our typical Disney things" in a lot of the photos. We chose the outfits because we thought they would match with the shoot. Walking around in heels really gives me a great appreciation for the sneakers I usually wear on our visits. The coloring with the pictures from the tea cups made the walking all worth it =)." -the couple

Whimsical and Romantic Spring Wedding Ideas

"I love everything about spring. The weather, the colors, and especially the flowers. So the vision for this photoshoot was a spring garden wedding. I wanted the feel to be whimsical and romantic. We had the perfect venue in Camarillo called the Maravilla Gardens. This place is a hidden gem with its amazing layout and gorgeous flowers and greenery! Thanks to Katie Jackson, our photographer, who actually got married here a few years back, we were able to use this venue as the perfect backdrop. The florals were my main focal point for the shoot. With the use of Maravilla Gardens itself, and Belle of the Ball's gorgeous floral designs, we were able to create this perfect spring garden wedding!" -JenEvents

Romantic Intimate Sunrise Griffith Observatory Shoot

"The Griffith Observatory served as the backdrop for our romantic styled shoot which, if I’m being honest, was a little intimidating. I wondered how this place would come across in wedding images. I knew I’d have to get creative because it’s not your typical wedding scene, but I was excited for the challenge. Our model, Keri, donned an Emma Gown by Theia Couture from The Dress Theory San Diego, and had to constantly explain to spectators that she wasn’t, indeed, famous. She was positively luminous in the soft light that comes with the sunrise, and the tender blush wading on the horizon complimented her perfectly. We really wanted to capture the essence of your not-so-typical bride, so we hunted each angle to get a different kind of shot. What resulted was a session unlike any other, and a really raw view of the type of bride who breaks tradition by opting for the romantic intimacy that a sunrise brings." -Liana McCain Photography

Romantic Black and White Mediterranean-Inspired Wedding from Eyelet Images

"Leiana and Adam chose to get married at the Omni La Costa Resort in San Diego for two reasons. First, the venue made them feel as if they were somewhere distant, near the Mediterranean (a destination wedding in their own backyard!) Also, the clean white buildings and Spanish architecture perfectly fit their vision for a simple and romantic setting that hinted at the couple's heritage. Adam and Leiana are as in love as any two people can be, and there were not many who could hold back tears of joy during their celebration! This wedding was an absolute dream to photograph!" -Lindsey of Eyelet Images
