From the RLL website: “Rancho Las Lomas is one of the most elegant wedding venue and private estates in America. Weddings here are especially beautiful and picturesque. For the ceremony, the Teatro, is an outdoor theater for wedding ceremonies with a marble ceremonial stage nestled under centuries-old oaks and sycamores trees. This lovely area can also be used for an outdoor southern california wedding reception, seating up to 400 guests. . .”

At Rancho Las Lomas you can opt for indoor reception areas, but for warm summer nights the ceremony site with “intimate garden lighting transforms the Teatro into a romantic evening reception paradise. . .”

This venue is so unique and beautiful – it is a photographer’s dream to work at places like this! Endless opportunities for photos, there is never enough time! Looking forward to my next wedding at Rancho Las Lomas!

Nestled in the Silverado Canyon of Orange County is perhaps one of the most unique and private Orange County wedding and event venues available. Rancho Las Lomas is actually a restored early rancho style private home surrounded by acres and acres of lush botanical gardens, stone pathways and zoologogical gardens! White tigers, exotic parrots and a reptile house are just a few of the animals that call Rancho Las Lomas home. As far as weddings go . . . luscious paradise!

Laguna Beach is my home away from home. I wish it was my home, though! I love driving to the farthest beach I know in Laguna to do engagement pictures, because I get to drive through the whole town and enjoy the sites, sounds and smells. Such a great city! Christina and Ken will be going full circle in a few months as they get married at Laguna Village in Laguna Beach! Looking forard to it . . .

Fun evening with Joey and Brianne in Newport and Laguna Beaches! Brianne definitely scores points for being the wild one – Joey is a little more serious but definitely enjoys the ride. We stopped off first at the Villa Nova Restaurant in Newport Beach to reminisce about the night they got engaged and then we went down to Laguna Beach.

Brianne and Joey: That was such a fun day and you were AWESOME to work with! Can't wait to see you September 12!!!

Anne, Jeff and their daughter Grace – one of the sweetest families ever. We found the perfect location for family portraits right by their house, in a field overgrown with dandelions. It was a wonderful late afternoon for the family and the sun was low and warm – golden hour . . .
