LA Shoot This! :: Prom vs. Bridesmaids Styled Shoot

A few weeks ago, some of my photography friends decided to sign up for an event called LA Shoot This! I had heard of it before, but never attended. Since so many of my friends were going, I thought this would be a cool opportunity to do some relaxed shooting and just hang out for the day. Joelle Leder is the group leader for this particular group (there are other LA Shoot This groups across Southern California). If you are interested in have a great time shooting, looking for a cool outing with your photography friends, or just want to gain more experience for your portfolio, this is a great opportunity! And the best part? They always have cake at every event, I hear. ;o) Mmm...cake. Check out their Eventbrite page for more information on upcoming events!

The models that participated were awesome! Kelsey was one of the first models we worked with, and as it turns out, she is also friends with one of my photography friends, Mike! What a small world!

It was hard to choose, but here are some of my faves from the day.

Redondo Beach Wedding :: Jenny & Jordan

I had the pleasure of documenting Jennifer and Jordan's wedding day on an overcast and breezy day in Redondo Beach. I have to admit, the overcast made me a bit giddy. Can you say giant softbox in the sky? ;o)

They had a nice intimate wedding ceremony and reception, and even being there as a vendor, I could feel the support of their family and friends on this special occassion. A huge congratulations to Jennifer and Jordan and all the best for your new life together!

Here are some of my faves:
