Karissa and Jonas: sweet sweet nuptials

peter — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:13:37 +0000

This is probably one of the coolest weddings we have ever shot/been to. Karissa and Jonas are both art students and really know how to mix things up. To top it all off, Karissa walked down the isle to one of our very favorite bands: Active Child. If you don’t know who they are, you should really stop what you’re doing and listen to them. We had such an awesome time. Check it:

Favy-faves: 2011

What? 2011 is over already? Nuts.

First of all, we want to thank all of our amazing brides and grooms. You are all unbelievably awesome. We are so humbled that each of you trusted us to capture your special days. Thank you for all the amazing memories and killer parties. This past year was so fun and so rewarding. It’s crazy to think that Emily and I get to spend our time photographing and celebrating love/marriage with some of the coolest people around. Cray. Anyway, we felt like it was way too big of a job to pick out our “best” photos from 2011, so we decided to just post a few of our personal favorites.

Here’s to a great year and more sick pics!

Karissa and Jonas are engaged. Also the cat’s meow.

Karissa and Jonas are a delight. Emily and I had the pleasure of walking around downtown LA (DTLA) with them for an afternoon. We’re super excited for their wedding in a couple months!

Wait for it……

Dan and Amber are a cool, fun, bird-hating, mustache-loving, married couple.

Dan and Amber used mustaches for their wedding theme. So basically, they’re awesome. They got married in a walnut grove and tromped with us through muddy cornfields searching for sick pics. We had a blast.

Thanks Dan and Amber! You guys are the best.

Leah and Nick vowed.

Backyard weddings are good ol’ fashioned times….especially when they start out with the most insane thunder storm ever. Fortunately the storm cleared up by the time of the ceremony and besides a couple of wet chairs, there were no damp spirits in sight.

In other news, Leah and Nick are the subjects of our new favorite night photo.

Lisa and Chris got married while we were taking photos.

Lisa and Chris have their own vineyard! They got married in it. We all drank wine from the vineyard.

Great success!

Shannon and Chris’ hitching

Weddings in wine country are generally a good idea. In the case of Shannon and Chris, it was an amazing idea. Besides the fact that I almost fainted from the heat, the day was spectacular. Shannon and Chris are really great people. Emily and I are excited for them!

Ira and Taylor are cooler than most.

Ira and Taylor’s wedding was a blast. Everyone welcomed us as if we were part of the family. Even after 13 hours of shooting, Emily and I left super happy and in disbelief that we get to do this for a living.

Sick.

Tim and Nicki: Awesome

So Tim and Nicki got a lot of things right. Their wedding was held in Nicki’s backyard and was a really great time. It was super laid back but very special at the same time. It was awesome.
