Vanessa and Brendan are getting married in Seattle later this year, but live in LA. We’re so glad we got to photograph them in their Los Angeles home and at some of their favorite hang out spots near the beach. It was nice to kick off our shoes mid-shoot and get a little wet and sandy with these two.

Lena and Sergey are one of those couples that everyone wants to be… both are generous, humble, smart, beautiful, and love the Lord. These two serve in our church and have so much to offer. It’s been so wonderful seeing their lives come together and I just know they will be even better together than they were on their own. Sergey is Yuriy’s cousin so we are thrilled that he found a girl we’ll love having at all our family functions.
Their wedding was one of our favorites last year and we are so excited to share these images.
(Sergey is a firefighter and used his station’s old truck to get around on the wedding day. It certainly made for good photos.)
