Life is just packed this time of year, but I had to take a minute to stop and share just a few images from a wedding that has brought me so much joy. A little while back I blogged some shots I really enjoyed from China and Mark’s engagement session. But that was just the beginning. For their wedding, the Palmdale Estates provided such a beautiful location for a relaxed late afternoon ceremony, and I love the way the sun soaked through our portrait time. Other highlights for me included a fun chance to be creative with lighting on a first dance and a rocking U-C-L-A cheer to end the night led by Mark himself. Of course when you have two people that are in to each other this much they’re going to be surrounded by so many others who love them… and came to party!






















Thank you for the glorious photos, Matthias!!
You have brought the beautiful day back to us.
Awesome photos. Really bummed I couldn’t make this. Particularly love the collective F bomb about to be dropped in the last photo – also, Mark’s fist. Powerful.
