Angela & Chris | Crestmore Manor | Riverside Wedding Photographer

Lisa Marie — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 08:54:47 +0000

Angela and Chris are easily two of my favorite people ever… not only are they ridiculously fierce when photographed, but they just seem to radiate love and warmth. I can’t thank them enough for allowing me the privilege to photograph their beautiful wedding.

Special thanks to my two girlies, Sylvia Galloway and Marina Toscano for rocking it at this wedding. And to Fenella Higgins, for making this wedding such a relaxing and easy wedding to photograph. You, my friend, are amazing!!

Nic & Shayna | Eagles Nest Naval Golf Course Wedding | Seal Beach Wedding Photographer

Lisa Marie — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 12:54:13 +0000

Every wedding sticks out for one reason or another. And when it came to writing this blog, I struggled. Blog writing for the weddings I photography can be difficult because there are so many things I could say. Looking back, this wedding was all about the details. The ones that made me smile and the ones that made me cry.
I’ve known Shayna’s sister, Jayme, for 7 years and at that time, Shayna was in High School. Feels like sooo long ago.
So last year when my friend informed me that her sister was engaged, I was taken aback. Wasn’t it just yesterday that she and I were planning our weddings? It’s crazy.

The details at this wedding were beautifully personal and heartfelt. For instance, Hummingbirds. Two of them. One for Casey, Shayna’s sister and one for Natalie, Nic’s sister.
Both sisters taken from Nic, Shayna and their families much too soon.

So much of this day was about Casey and Natalie. Little touches of both sisters throughout the entire wedding, which was most important to the couple.
2 beanie babies sat at the couple’s head table. These bears had belonged to Natalie and were a gift to her Brother, Nic.
And before Shayna walked down the aisle, her Mom helped her put on jewelry. A hummingbird necklace and bracelet, both in memory of Casey.

The entire day was just perfection. Beautiful cool weather in the middle of summer, heartfelt speeches and the tears of joy from friends and family.
Nic and Shayna are just the sweetest. And I personally just love when perfect couples and their beautiful families celebrate the love that just is; I really do.

Raquel | Quinceanera Shoot| San Juan Capistrano

Lisa Marie — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:20:30 +0000

She is radiant and captivating. She wasn’t afraid to walk in tall grass wearing her white shorts! She laughed, a genuine laugh, when the stool she sat on almost gave way beneath her. Raquel wasn’t afraid to fall.
It’s all so telling of the woman that Raquel is becoming…grace, beauty and no fear.
And her Mom, smiled with tears as her daughter was being photographed. “She’s growing up…it happened so fast…and she looks gorgeous out there.”

I truly cannot wait to photograph this Quinceanera!

A special thank you to Marina Toscano Photography for coming with and assisting on this shoot!

Angela & Chris Engagement Session| Ride Star Ranch| Corona

Lisa Marie — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 15:30:24 +0000

When I first met Angela and she described Chris, I just knew I had to find something with a country feel for her engagement pictures. Per Angela, they weren’t that photogenic (puhleeze…!!!) and she wanted something easy. So, I scoured and I scoured. And then I found “it”! As soon as I told Angela about it, she was all over it. Phew!!! (Love when my client has faith in my skills)
Okay, so the drive up to this location was a little scary (I was shaking in my boots and so was my assistant, Joe) but this place really is a photographers dream!! If you want country? This is the place.
It was a beautiful day and my so-called shy couple??? SO NOT SHY!!! They were so hot that my camera decided to check out. (Thank God for back-up’s!)

Mr.Z is 6 months! | Orange, Orange County Children’s Photography

Lisa Marie — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 20:15:22 +0000

Time flies to fast. It feels like just yesterday I was photographing Zander as a teeny tiny tot and now he’s 6 months old! How does that happen?
As always, Zander was quite the model. He really is my easiest client, ever!
