shelby +rich [huntington beach]

Sooooo fun... that's what these two were when we shot their engagement session. Per my request, they even brought a chair to their session. And, what's more... they brought beef jerky, tasty drinks, sun chips, and lots more... now that's what I'm talking about! You know the way to my heart is through my stomach. And, after we were all done, we headed over (along with Ethan and Matt) to my favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner. What a fun time!

You might recall Lyndsy and Elon's recent wedding (also SOOO much fun!). Well, these two were referred to me by the lovely Lyndsy and I'm so happy they chose me to shoot their wedding. It's coming up at the end of September at the very beautiful Rancho Valencia. I can't wait!

Another fun fact... Shelby is blogging all about her wedding planning experience over at the very cool Exquisite Weddings Magazine
website. You can check it out here.

I hope you enjoy your pictures, you two. I think they look like you should be in a Banana Republic ad... see for yourselves...





























Here's that chair... loved the red!

noel + neal [chapman university dorms]

07.28.08  |  engagements

Noel and Neal met when they were both attending one of my alma maters... Chapman University. And, it turns out, Neal's parents met while attending Chapman, too. Isn't that crazy? How could we not take their pictures where it all began... in the dorms?

So, by request, we shot most of the session at the Chapman dorms. I must admit... before we arrived I was a little concerned... after all... how much could the dorms have to offer us? In fact, I think they were a great back drop, especially because of what they meant to these two.

More Chapman love... the happy (and very sweet) couple will be married at the newly built chapel on campus (which is just stunning) early in 2009... so stay tuned for that beautiful wedding.

One more thing... because I think it's such an honor, I'm going to brag for her... Noel has been selected as Chapman's Young Alumni of the Year. What a great honor!!! Congrats Noel... on your achievement and on your upcoming nuptials to a great catch (wink, wink!). Enjoy and talk soon!





In front of what was Noel's dorm room...











What a handsome couple...





Those eyes...





This is the dorm building where they both stayed later in their college years...



I wonder if they ever thought they'd be taking pictures here when they used to roam the halls... no less for their engagement pics...



Love this one...











A spot near the circle that's close to their hearts...





A nice gentleman from the bar who wanted to be in a pic or two with our happy couple... We sent him back inside to finish off his pint or whatever libation he was partaking in...

marissa + jason [richard nixon library]

Venue . Richard Nixon Library
Day-of Coordinator . Kay Wright
Catering . Anaheim White House
Cake . Michelle's Cake House
Floral and Decor . Enchanted Florist
DJ . DJ Omar Kahn

It's finally here... Marissa and Jason's wedding post. :)

These two were married in an absolutely beautiful location... the Richard Nixon Library... on what was a very HOT day. But Marissa and Jason were troopers! I didn't even see 'em sweat! Regardless of the heat, it turned out to be a lovely wedding... with every little detail planned perfectly. It was a Hollywood theme with yellow and black, feathers and crystals... truly stunning.

These two seem so perfect for one another. I was so honored to be a part of their day. I hope you two enjoy your images and your amazing honeymoon to the Maldives!!! Talk soon! -xoxo- Natalie.

We'll start with some details...























The saw each other for the first time right in front of the "First Kiss" roses... how appropriate. ;)













A fellow yogi, Marissa fit perfectly into her beautiful dress. I loved her veil.





Some incredible ceremony details...













Some reception details...



This one is in the collage above but I had to give it is own spot...



Same with this one... what a beautiful cake.



Check out this arrangement on the head table. Wow!



A beautiful first dance...





FUN!



Jason's sister... after the toast...









Yep... guys... somebody has to pick it up... I know you didn't catch it... but come on now... ;)





This one was taken by my good friend and second photographer at this wedding, Daniel Chin... what a beautiful shot of the pool at night.



Insert the happy couple... a little later in the evening...



And, last but not least... the rings.

so... I've been a bad blogger...

07.25.08  |  personal

I know... I know... where have I been? Busy!!! But, do not fear... there are MANY posts in the works... from beautiful weddings, to fun engagement sessions, to a baby and a prego session. Keep checking in...

In the mean time... I thought I'd leave you with a "few" pics of Ethan (part of why I'm so darn busy :). He's about 4 1/2 months now... 18 pounds of squeezable, lovable, little boy. Well... little might be pushing it... ;). Enjoy!

hong + martin [chinatown]

07.17.08  |  engagements

The incredible duo of Hong and Martin flew out recently (... all the way from Virginia!) for their e-session. And, boy... did we have a BLAST! These two are getting married on August 1st at the wonderful MOLAA in Long Beach. Their wedding is going to be anything but traditional... no garter or bouquet with this couple... but other surprises will ensue!

These two could just hang out forever with each other kidding around, dancing, playing lemme-try-and-slap-your-hands, drinking tea and boba, laughing, doing matrix moves, break dancing... yada yada.. you get the picture. Needless to say... they didn't need me to direct much... for the most part, I just let them be and they shined on through.

Hong and Martin- Thanks to both of you... I had such a great time and can't wait for your wedding. Please enjoy some of my favorites from your session below!!!

BTW- On another note... I was so pleasantly surprised when Hong told me that their photo gift registry is the only wedding registry that they have been referring guests to... wow (pressure!) ;) ... these two are just too good to be true!







Some break dancing... the Hong and Martin wave...



And a hitch kick for good measure...



















lemme-slap-your-hands and boba... I think Hong won... ;)



OK... don't you just love these two!?!?! I know it's a little creepy and strange... but I love it!!! HA!







CHIN-TOWNLAND... apparently the "A" went missing at some point... that didn't stop us from commemorating the day in front of CHIN-TOWNLAND anyways. It's like the Hollywood sign only... better? Well... it's a little like the Hollywood sign but missing a letter and a little more accessible... how's that...? ;)



Down in LA'S Fashion District for a few shots...





It smelled a little funky in this area... nothing like the smell of alley ways and parking lots in LA... you know what I'm talking about...



And, finally just the two of them in this great big world.
