Vegas Wedding Photography

While I was in Las Vegas for the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) Conference I had the pleasure of photographing a stylized session in Red Rock. It was an absolutely stunning location for wedding portraits.  It was freezing out, but we all toughed it out to get some amazing wedding pictures for this beautiful couple.  I am so glad that I got to be a part of this portrait session.  Here's a few favorites from the day.

Cypress Sculpture Wedding Photographers

Sandy & Ted tied the knot!  We had so much fun photographing their wedding.  These two thought of everything, from superhero capes and super hero shirts for their wedding party to three dress changes for Sandy and even snow cones for their guests .  I love how fun spirited the whole bridal party was, even in the rain.  Sandy also had the most gorgeous train on her wedding dress we loved photographing it.  Congratulations to the two of you, we wish you all the best.

Engagement Portrait Photographer Orange County | Knott's Berry Farm Portraits

We had such a blast photographing Sarah & Josh's engagement portraits at Knott's Berry Farm.  These two met there while working on the Boomerang ride and started dating.  We knew we just had to photograph them for their engagement pictures right where there loved started!  We can't wait to photograph their wedding this fall.  They are such a fun loving couple we are sure their wedding portraits will be just as amazing.

Wedding Photography Santa Ana

Megan & Dahani didn't let the rain stop them from celebrating their love.  These two tied the knot at the Historic Old Court house in Santa Ana, CA. Whenever couples are getting married at the court house and call us to inquire about wedding photography, they always start the conversation with "this is just a courthouse wedding".  We don't care how big or small your wedding is, it is still your wedding day and it should be celebrated regardless if it is just the two of you or 500 people, we want to be there to document it.  We couldn't be happier that Megan's godmother contacted A Shutter in Time Photography to photograph their big day.  These two were so shy, they did not want to be photographed.  Once we shewed all the family away and it was just us, they really became themselves and you can fell the love they have for each other in their wedding pictures.  We couldn't be happier for these two.  Congratulations!

  

Engagement Pictures Orange County

We are so excited to photograph Melissa & Patrick's wedding this October.  We photographed her brother's wedding and it is such an honor to know that we did an amazing job that the family trusts us to capture another wedding day for them., Melissa is a huge fan of Halloween so since we have a Friday the 13th this year in October, she knew that had to be their wedding date.  W cannot wait to see their Halloween inspired wedding.  They have so many cute ideas it will be exciting to see them all come together.  They are also really into games and play with other couples all the time. We knew we had to incorporate their board games into the session to match their fun personalities.  Don't be afraid to bring your personality out in your engagement session. It really makes for a nice personal touch to your portraits.

Senior Portraits Orange County

We are so excited for the Class of 2017 Graduates.  The beach is always a great setting for senior portraits.  Senior pictures are some of our favorite sessions.  These young adults are so excited and have such bright futures ahead of them.  Congratulations Avery, we can't wait to see what the future holds for you.

Family pictures Huntington Beach

We just love photographing this family.  This is the second family session we have had the pleasure to work with them.  The twins as so sweet.  They don't always get along, but they were good at pretending for their photo session.  It is always important for us to catch all the relationships in a family portrait session.  We love the photos with mom and her children and dad with the kids as well as the kids by themselves/together and of course the couples portraits.  We always make sure to make mom feel extra special since most moms are the ones always taking the pictures, so often they are missed in front of the camera.  Mom's always cherish the pictures we are able to capture for them especially the ones with just them and the kids.

Children Portrait Photographer Orange County

 It was so great photographing this family session as it was baby Tori's first professional portrait session and she was celebrating her first birthday.  I love how squishy she is, I could just pinch her all day long.  She has cheeks for days :)  The Huntington Central park is always a great location for a family portrait session.  The scenery is always changing there, but it always makes for a beautiful backdrop.  

Family Beach Portrait Session

The Robertson family just moved to Huntington Beach so the Huntington Beach Pier was the perfect location for their family portrait session.  They are just loving their new city and all that it has to offer.  I loved photographing this family to commemorate this big move in their lives.  It was such an honor to be able to create family portraits to hang on their walls as art for their new home.  I hope they enjoy looking at their pictures for years to come and will remember this joyous time in their families history.  Welcome to Huntington Beach guys!

Family Portrait Photographer Huntington Beach

Camden is just too cute for words.  He had so many good smiles for his family portrait session it made it hard to choose which ones were our favorites.  He is such a sweet baby and we can't wait to see him again for his one year old cake smash session.  He was so much fun to photograph, I'm sure we will get a ton of more smiles.

Family Portrait Photographer Irvine

We love photographing Samantha and her family.  We have watcher her grow from the time she was just 6 months old and she just keeps getting cuter and cuter.  We loved meeting her new "little brother" Ollie.  They are just the best of friends and he is so good with her.  He also can make her giggle which was a great way for me to get some really cute smiles.  We can't wait for their next family portrait session to see how big they both get :)

High School Senior Portrait Photographer

Most high school senior guys hate being photographed and Ryan was no exception.  Usually they are only going along with the portrait session for mom or for some sort of bribe, which was both the case here.  But the great thing is that this is a memorable time and we hope someday will be appreciated.  This being said, I love photographing all senior portraits.  I just mess around with the guys letting them know I know that they don't want to be there.  I really just let them warm up and be themselves, I don't over pose them or push them into poses that they don't want to do.  After about 20 minutes or so into the session they start to trust me and really get into the photographs.  And that is when the magic starts happening and we are able to get some amazing images like you see of Ryan here.  So thank you Ryan for letting me capture you at this important time in your life.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your senior year! Congrats!

Family Portrait Photography Orange County

It is always so neat photographing extended families with multiple generations. Great-grandma just loved the kids and so did grandpa.  These girls are so lucky to have so many great people in their lives to love them.  It is always so fun seeing the interactions between kids and their elders.  Family portraits are the best gift to your children.  In the years to come they will be able to look back at these pictures and will know they were loved by so many as kids.

Orange County Newborn Photographers

Ruby James is such a little sweetheart.  Her parents are so in love with her already.  She is just 9 days new in these newborn portraits and already so squishy we could hardly stand it.  She was a tough one to photograph ( I can say that because she is family) but the portraits of her are worth every minute we spent photographing her.  ( it took us about 4 hours to get her to settle but you would never know it by how angelic she looks in these pictures)  Welcome to the family baby Ruby, you are such a great addition. 

Seal Beach Family Portrait Photographer

Family Portraits are some of put favorite portrait sessions that we photograph.  We especially love photographing families at the beach.  The beach is always such a gorgeous background for pictures that you will love hanging your wall art in your home.  These two brothers are so silly and love rough housing with each other but at the same time they are tender and loving.  I am so glad that we were able to capture their personalities to a tee.  Their parent's just loved the pictures we took and couldn't wait to get the hung up all over the house.

Fort Worth Texas Wedding Photographer

We were so honored to photograph my nieces wedding in Fort Worth, Texas.  These two are childhood sweethearts and we couldn't be happier for them as they said "I-DO" Their wedding was in the Historic Stockyards which made the perfect backdrop for their couples portraits. It was to die for cute and we had great storm clouds coming in.  It was so much fun photographing a country wedding and these guys looked so handsome and were a blast to photograph.  I love the multiple colors of bridesmaids too.  Congrats you two!  We love you.

Beach Family Portraits Huntington Beach

Chris is just so smitten with his daughter Venice, he just knew he needed portraits with her.  They always go to the beach on Sundays to watch the waves and the surfers he knew that was the perfect backdrop for their family pictures.  The two of them had so much fun just being themselves and it was a blast to photograph them in their element!

Children's Portrait Photographer | Kids Portraits Studio Orange County

We have been photographing Scarlett since before she was born (maternity session) and she just keeps getting cuter (if that is possible).  We just love photographing families and watching their kids grow. It is such an honor to know that we have preserved every stage for this family through photography.  Children's portrait sessions should always be scheduled around the child'd best time of day to get the best results.  That is how we always have fun smiling children in the pictures we take.  Family portraits are so important, it's what your children will have to look back on from their childhood.

Fountain Valley Family Portrait Photographer

This is our newest session with the Lewis family.  We just love photographing them, these kids are too sweet.  We added Petey their Jack Russel to this session.  They just added a new pool this past summer to their backyard so we couldn't think of a better place for their family portrait session this year.  I know they were excited to share their pictures with their family and friend to show off their new dream pool.  Home sweet Home.

Laguna Beach Family Portraits

Laguna Beach is a perfect setting for any family portrait session.  We love photographing teenagers with their family.  We loved photographing this family. They are such sweet kids and we are so honored that we were able to create wall art for their house that they will cherish for years to come!
