TJ and Shannon were an amazing couple to shoot. Both so photogenic and fun! Their Ceremony was in North Tustin at Trinity United Presbyterian Church, and the reception was held at Strawberry Farms Golf Course in Irvine. Their cake was by Rockewells Creative Cakes.
I was totally inspired to shoot for myself this week at the hotel I’m staying at. Its a beautiful turn of the century hotel that is a sweet spot here on the water in the Meatpacking/West Village area of lower Manhattan. Everything about it was screaming “shoot me”! Modeled after the Titanic, where survivors were housed once rescued and brought back here, so the story goes, this hotel feels as if it was as is 100 years ago. Founded in 2008 it is adjoined by a sweet little french cafe in the lower lobby. The food is fabulous there.
I found this little oasis in NYC, as I was thumbing through the United Airlines magazine, hotel reviews of NYC, literally on the way to La Guardia from Washington Dullas. I’m loving shooting this kind of stuff again. The hotel has rooms that start out at $75, and rooms for 2 that start at $175.
You can see views of the water from the hotel as well!

Springtime on the Central Coast is really amazing. The yellow flowers and the blue sky is awesome in contrast. Enter in a sweet couple and you get a sweet image! We photographed right near the town and winery of Edna Valley.
