Heidi+Erick | Wedding Journal {Milano Photography|Riverside Photographer}

"Wedding Journal | Part One"

I am currently in the process of preparing this couple's wedding previews and proofs, but I had to take a moment to post this particular Favorite Preview of mine that I am ordering as a huge gallery sample. I loved this candid moment, and I really wanted to share it.....there was just something about this particular completely candid moment that captivated me....It's moment's like this that scream emotion....

Heidi and Erick are a great definition of the word "Soulmate" Just being around them brings a certain "joy" to your soul.
They have that type of relationship that can be defined by the words: honesty, friendship, commitment and passion....I believe they are buried within each other's souls....

I will be adding to this post over the next few days, so please come back and visit soon and feel free to leave your comments for this wonderful couple :)

"Passion"
I really can define this wonderful couple with these words:

Connected
Passionate
Fun
and of course "Engaged"

Part of the reason I love Balboa is the various aspects of shooting space. There are some beautiful areas of hidden light and neat buildings and this engagement session was no exception to the possibilities ;) Rocio and Nick were absolutely up for anything and I would say as long as they were together, it didn't matter. We had a super good time walking around down there and finding some different places to shoot and had some great laughs. I am really looking forward to their wedding in September. I can only imagine how beautiful their day will be....I mean seriously, with that much love does anything else matter...

"Amanda and Anthony"

This was an amazingly flawless day. We began our journey at the Bride's house for her prep then off over to the Ontario Hilton for the remainder of the day. The Bride and Groom were as calm as I have ever seen. And a wonderful couple. I have been working with this bride and groom for several months now and I absolutely cannot say enough. Their day was filled with emotion and happiness and it was an honor to journal their lovely day. Thank you Amanda and Anthony and may your lives be filled with joy and happiness.....



Amanda arrived and was greeted with emotion from her wonderful brother










The Bride and her pretty little girl


I had to share and comment on what a sweet lady the Bride's grandmother is.


Some Reception Fun


I loved this little "break out dance" from the bride and her brother...it got everyone motivated to celebrate and get out on the floor LOLOL


and yes, even this one was unstoppable on the dance floor all night!!! I wish I had that much energy

{Luke}

It's been a few weeks since I posted into the Sunday Post spot, so I thought these were appropriate for today and I could introduce the latest member of our family, LUKE. It's very rare I can capture stolen moments from my son, but he was sooooo excited to get this new little guy into our family that he let me take a few....Luke and Nicholas are the best of buds, it's so awesome to watch Luke follow him around like his best pal. It's your typical "boy and his dog" relationship......We Love it, and we have had such good luck with this little guy he is an amazingly good puppy :)

"Is Two"

I had the pleasure of photographing this little cutie pie for some 2-year portraits.....she is soooooo dang cute and she's got the cutest little personality to match....we spent some time on location then met up a few weeks later at their home to finish up our session for some Lifestyle Portraiture.....(which I will previewing some of those as well) I am getting ready to order this families proofs, and as you all know, I have a habit of posting as I order, so keep checking back and you can see some more of this cute-patoot....Thank you to the Lopez family for being willing to have their session on location....it was super fun and the location was perfect.
I have been receiving inquiries regarding promoting the free prints for comments, so we are back to giving away free prints based on comments received, so after you view feel free to write a little something so we can give away our prints :)

Kris + Ricky {Milano Photography | Riverside Photographer

Okay it's taken me forever to get these previews up for them, and I'm sooooo sorry they had to wait. But, the truth of the matter is I just thought the ENTIRE engagement session was sooooo much fun that I have had a hard time choosing. I have fine tuned it down, so I can order some proofs and post the previews....Kris and Ricky were engaged down in Santa Monica, and visited the
Santa Monica Pier quite often. This was a PERFECT place for their session since it had significant meaning to their awesome relationship. We arrived there and they were completely prepared for what was to come....YEP UP UP and UP they went on that GINORMOUS Landmark of a ferris Wheel!!!! Oh and I couldn't help but ask their willingness to jump on that SCRAMBLER!!!!
LOLOLOL anyone ever ridden that thing....it is a total crack up and I was in tears with laughter watching them.....This session was a total blast, and the two of them were completely open to lots of shooting options......thank you to you both for playing....it was soooo worth it ;)
