Newborn Photography | Baby Scarlett
April 20, 2012 By
We had the pleasure of photographing 3 month old baby Scarlett – she is so precious! Deshun and I capture a lot of weddings, but it’s really tough to say what we love photographing better, our beautiful wedding couples or sweet little babies?! One thing for sure is that we’re totally in love with what we do and we are honored to get to photograph all the different moments and memories that life brings! xoxo ~ Yas + D
Michelle & Trinele’s La Jolla Wedding
April 13, 2012 By
Below are a few highlights from Michelle and Trinele’s beautiful La Jolla wedding. This couple is just as cute as their rhyming names, and their bubbly personalities made their whole wedding day a pleasure to photograph. We are very fond of the La Valencia – the decor and lighting in this glamorous vintage hotel was a perfect location for the couple’s formal portraits. With the ceremony taking place at Cuvier Park and reception at Prospect Bar and Grill Lounge, this gave us the option of so many portrait locations in the La Jolla Cove area. Thank you Michelle and Trinele for having us be a part of your wedding. XoXo ~ Yas + D

Joe & Suzy’s Engagement Portraits
April 13, 2012 By
For their engagement portrait session, Suzy and Joe wanted to incorporate a few of the things they love into the shoot to make their photographs more personal. The couple shares a love for espresso (just one of the reasons why we are going to get along with this couple just fine) and one of their ideas was to capture a few scenes of them enjoying a latte together. Suzy and Joe also like to go to the desert in Joe’s truck and we thought it was a great idea when they mentioned the possibility of using it as a personal prop during the session. Joe put a lot of work into fixing the truck up (the truck now has doors on it but we’re glad we got to photograph before they got put on, there were so many great posing options this way) and incorporating this in a few shots with Suzy’s signature red lips and red heels made for some of our favorite shots in the session….although we had a lot of faves! We are so excited to photograph their wedding in New York this summer! Thanks Suzy and Joe for being so fun to work with. ~xoxo~ yas + d
Calamigos Ranch, Malibu Wedding | Kallie & Blake
February 3, 2012 By
It was such a treat for us to photograph Kallie and Blake’s wedding at the delightful 130 acre Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, CA. This vast venue is home of ‘The Biggest Loser’, it was neat to see the house and the area where the show is filmed. Kallie and Blake are such a fun loving couple – and when you’ve got a bride who kicks off her wedding heels the moment she sees a tree that she has to climb, you’ve got a sure sign to a super fun and lively wedding day. (and it was!) Not enough good things to say about this charming ranch. Thanks Kallie and Blake for having us along for the ride and entrusting us with your special memories. We love you xoxo ~ yas + d.
Ceremony Magazine Featured Wedding
January 27, 2012 By
Twin Oaks Garden Estate is one of our favorite Garden wedding venues, and we were thrilled to find out that Laura and Trevor’s wedding got featured in Ceremony Wedding Magazine. We were honored to work with this sweet couple and we had so much fun capturing all the sweet, funny, happy moments, and all the beautiful details that were carefully and lovingly thought out. (and it was so very beautiful)
Love Story:
Seven years prior to their wedding day, Trevor spotted a beautiful girl on a Carlsbad beach. He recounted that story to Laura on their special day, typing in out and sending it to her on a heart shaped note card. On the cusp of their new chapter, it was a touching remembrance of how their love began.
Wedding Pros:
Cake/Caterer – Twin Oaks House & Gardens
Floral Design – Jerri Disney
Transportation – Rolls Livery
Entertainment – Brian Falton
Officiant – Mikel Meringa
Scripps Forum La Jolla Wedding :: Kristen + Alex
January 14, 2012 By
Kristen and Alex’s La Jolla wedding was filled with smiles and laughter, such a beautiful couple on the inside and out.

Thank you Alex and Kristen for having us be a part of your special day, we love you guys. xoxo – yas + d
Confession: The bridal room smelled so good that I actually went out and bought this perfume for myself 
Love Alex’s reaction to ‘You may now kiss the bride’

Twin Oaks Garden Estate, San Marcos Wedding | Nikki + Mike
November 14, 2011 By
We had fallen in love with the Twin Oaks Garden Estate the first time we photographed at this charming wedding venue, and were so excited to be back to photograph Nikki and Mike’s wedding in a fresh new way! This couple’s wedding was bursting with shades of purple, and of course lots of bling – so in love with Nikki’s sparkly heels! Posted a couple shoe shots below because I couldn’t decide which one I loved better (Nikki can I borrow those shoes sometime? ) A big shout out to Jerri Disney, her flowers are always so special and these arrangements were no exception. Nikki’s bouquet had a sparkly horseshoe broach attached to the base (Mike is Irish) and the bridesmaids’ bouquets had silver tags attached which displayed the corresponding girl’s name, love that! Below are just a few moments from this wedding…..enjoy!
What a beautiful ceremony site!
Old Ranch Country Club Wedding, Seal Beach CA | Jamie + Dylan
November 6, 2011 By
We were glad to be back at the beautiful Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach to photograph Jamie and Dylan’s wedding. We had fun with their gigantic bridal party, everyone was up for having a good time with us! The couple’s grey and purple color scheme was so pretty against the green golf course – just love the guys’ grey suits! Below are just a few highlights of the day…..enjoy! XoXo~ Yas + D
Love it when we get to sneak the couple away from the reception (for just a few minutes) to take some ambient night shots!
