Of course Donny couldn’t help but take her to a field!  Not only do we love fields, but the gorgeous blue sky was calling out begging to be a stunning backdrop!

Sun kissed!

Don’t they look smok’n hot!

I love this next pic!

Loved Jenn’s shoes!

The back of the bridesmaid dresses were beautiful as well!

Seriously, Jenn looked gorgeous!

The ceremony was held at the Muckenthaler Mansion in Fullerton.  I love how Jenn looked adoringly at her Dad as he walked her down the aisle!

They had a really neat aspect to their ceremony.  Each guest was given a rock and during the ceremony they had the opportunity to offer a blessing and place the rock in the vase as they greeted the couple.  It was unique and touching.

I now pronounce you “husband and wife”!!

The wedding party!

Jenn & Mike’s couple shots…

I loved this shot of them in front of the mansion.

Jenn spent a lot of time planning out all of the details — and you could tell!  Everything was so beautifully decorated in such lively colors!

I love this shot of Mike laughing with his mom during their first dance.

The rings

They were greeted by cheers as they ran through a tunnel of sparklers for their grand exit.

After the reception, we did something a bit different… we followed the couple to their hotel!    We had fun doing a mini-shoot at the Crowne Plaza.

And finished off the shots in their bedroom… At this point, we figured that it was time for us to go!

Congrats Jenn & Mike!

Many of you have been waiting to see pictures for a long time and we are so excited to finally have a chance to breathe and show off our little angels!

Probably my fave shot of the two of them.

Another cuddly shot.. You know it’s kind of funny. When we look at them now we can see all their little differences.  However when we were at the hospital, we could barely tell them apart!  We had to get pink & blue blankets so that we knew who was who!   There were several times where we thought we had one baby and come to find out it was the other one!  Now they look completely different!!  I can’t figure out how they could grow inside me for 9 months and come out looking the same but then change so drastically in just a few short weeks! … or we can simply blame it on complete sleep deprivation!!!

Oops.. too bad our logo goes right through her face on this one! 

Our little boy

Our little girl in Daddy’s hands

Well, we hope you have been enjoying that we have been blogging  a bunch again!  The pregnancy was really hard on me and our blog kind of went by the wayside.  However, we have so much to show you!!!!  Keep checking in!

The back of her gorgeous wedding dress!

Shelly’s beautiful bouquet

This venue looks so great in infrared!

I love the ring bearer’s expression in this image!

Jeff…

Shelly…

Their silhouettes…

And more happy pictures of the newlyweds…

We were blessed to be able to work with Diana Ross again from Celebrations by Diana.  She always does a great job of making sure that the day runs smoothly and that everything is beautifully decorated!

I love the emotion in their first dance!

They were full of laughs during the toasts!

The whole day was pretty amazing!  Congratulations Shelly & Jeff!

When we finished playing on the rooftop, we played throughout the hotel –this shot is actually the entrance to the bathroom in the bar area!!  LOL!  Gotta use the color and textures where we find it!

And this one is in the elevator!

Holly loves this next shot.

And then we went hiking around town looking for fun places to shoot.

Since this venue was so special to Elaina & Mike, I thought this shot would be kind of fun!  You can see them on the right side of the image! 

Erin and Rick’s wedding was shot at the ultra classy Jonathon Club in downtown LA. We had a great time working with Sitting Pretty Special Events,  Elysium Productions and a host of other great vendors!  The wedding ceremony took place on the roof top of the historic building — stunning in every way.  There was no shortage of emotion and joy throughout the day which made for fun picture taking.  Erin and Rick were extraordinarily gracious and super fun to work with.  Enjoy this sneak peak!

One of the first things I noticed as I came in the room (besides the gorgeous bride) was the beautiful line up of Vera Wang dresses…

Then Erin’s gorgeous BLUE shoes!

Erin looked beautiful.

And has a smile that is contagious!

At the ceremony location, there were these gorgeously hanging crystal chandeliers.

Dad looked pretty dapper as he walked the bride down the aisle.

How awesome is this location for a ceremony!

And, in true Heavenly Portraits style, we had no problem blocking off the lanes on Figueroa Street in LA to take pictures of the wedding party!

Gotta love a bride with attitude!

And also a bride with such sweet gentleness.

My favorite picture of the day!

And some shots of Erin & Rick together.

The reception was, of course, beautifully decorated with every detail carefully planned out.

Everyone had a great time dancing throughout the whole evening.

I feel like these next two images really say it all.  Look at the tender ways that each of them look at each other.  Such genuine looks on their faces…

Congratulations Erin & Rick!
