Greta & Elias | One Year Anniversary | Palos Verdes, CA

Just a sneak peak from today's shoot...

Cutest couple EVER! :)

Juana and Aaron | Wedding | San Pedro, CA

You and Me Photography's focus has not been weddings lately, but it's still an honor to do them when we can. Juana and Aaron's wedding was our first and possibly our only wedding this year, but it was so beautiful that it was more than enough to satisfy our wedding craving!!!



Juana is a co-worker of mine from my regular job... She is a real sweetheart and I was so excited when she asked us to do her wedding. I knew that her wedding was going to be amazing as soon as she described it to me! Her an Aaron are wonderful people and could not have made this experience any more pleasant for us...




Stunning, right? :)


Their wedding took place in San Pedro overlooking the harbor. Very beautiful, with a gorgeous color pallete of purples and blues.

You could really feel the love in the air as Juana and Aaron wed...


They were so happy as family and friends gave them warm wishes...




I could tell that Aaron is an awesome guy... Juana has a huge family, and they all LOVE him to death! They are really lucky to have found eachother... The perfect couple :)


The bride and groom shots did not go as planned, since we did not have enough time to go to the place they had chosen, but you know that we are the BEST improvisors out there (hehe), so we made it work out... Honestly these are some of my favorite bride and groom shots we have ever done! :)







They kept telling us how much fun we made their session and how relaxed they felt... I warned them, we love to make people laugh when we take their photos!!! :)





I loved the feel and ambience of their reception... It was relaxed, entertaining, and overall... fun! :)




Their first dance was the cutest... Bob Marley's "Is This Love" :) I can still hear it in my head as I see these pictures!



I think the group shots turned out AWESOME!!! It was such a big party filled with people who love Juana and Aaron... Honestly, could it be better any other way?









At the end of the night, the place was filled with love, happiness, and their amazing families... There is so much more to be said of this wedding; traditions I had never seen (wait 'till you hear about how they welcome new people to their families!), tears shed, and love expressed like never before... We are truly blessed to have such amazing clients! We wish Juana and Aaron the best in their marriage... I know it will be a happy one :)

Henry & Edith | Engagement | Palos Verdes, California

Let me start out this post by saying that I love the rain! It's funny for me to say that cause, I actually hate the rain, but if it wasn't for it, we would not have these gorgeous shots I am about to show you! Here in L.A. we are expecting rain for 7 days straight, but it wasn't supposed to start until tomorrow. When it started to rain a couple hours before I scheduled Henry & Edith's engagement shoot, I was constantly checking my phone to see when the rain would stop!

These were shot at one of my favorite spots, the Malaga Cove in Palos Verdes.



I want to thank my lovely couple for being so brave and trusting me when I said "Let's go up there anyway!", LOL... They really were great to work with and if it wasn't for their positive attitude, this shoot wouldn't have been possible!

Look at this next shot... I'm in LOVE with it!




I cannot continue without saying how undeniably cute Edith and Henry are! They were up for trying any of my crazy ideas and looked so cute while doing so :)



These next two are to die for. Henry and Edith are so in love... and their photos truly show it. The balloons really add to the shot as well!




See what I mean about the rain? It's just so romantic! Instead of it being a pain, I think we got lucky ;)






We decided to test our luck and try our second location choice, right over the Trump National Golf Club, and as soon as we got there, IT STOPPED RAINING! Sadly the sun set fast :( so we only got a very few shots. They are, indeed, beautiful.



I hope you enjoyed these beautiful photos as much as I enjoyed taking them! Oh, and I also have to mention that I brought along my little bro' to be my assistant, holding my extra lens and the balloons when they weren't used :)

I'm trying a new editing style that I have had in mind for quite some time. I really feel like this is what I am aiming for when I shoot. What do you all think about it?

Sunny | Family Photographer | Harbor City, CA

Let me just begin by saying how absolutely adorable this little boy is! This photo shoot took place at the Harbor City Railroad Museum for Sunny's fourth birthday invitations... Mom brought him dressed up as Batman in honor of his batman themed party. Seriously, how cute is that!?

What I loved most is that Sunny was super shy at first, but after some funny faces and funny jokes he totally let loose and was up for anything! At times I would get carried away with the "awwww, how cute!!!" so much that it would make him blush, hehehe... Either way, I loved this entire session! It further reinforced my favoritism towards family shots!
