On Sunday I met with Fredrick and Patricia for their engagement shoot. We had so much fun exploring Pasadena. Here is a sneak peek for now…
Brian and Charmaine :: Wedding Sneak Peek
Yesterday I shot my first wedding for a very special couple. Brian and Charmaine are amazing and I will be sure to share more about them in the full blog posts… yes posts. I’m pretty sure I’ll have to break down their wedding into three parts.
I think my favorite part of shooting their wedding was capturing the moments, which is ironic because the three I picked to share are all “formal” shots. More to come soon with more details about Brian and Charmaine’s special day!
I love this shot! This was after dinner when I stole them away for a few more shots. You can’t pose a “oh my gosh, we’re married” moment. =)
The coolest wedding party in the world! They decided to jump in the pool at the end… awesome!!
One of my favs. After the reception we went up to this spot where there was a view of Lake Hollywood and the city. It was completely dark so I had my car lights shining on them. Not a technically perfect shot but I still love it. For my photog friends, this was shot at ISO 6400 with the 5D Mark II.
Brian and Charmaine- Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your special day! I can’t wait to share the rest of the photos with you!!
Edit: 6/29/09 As I’m going through all of the photos, I found a few more I want to share! These will be it for the sneak peek. =) More to come soon in the full blog post.
- Richelle, I'm sure I'll come off sounding like a broken record over the course of the photo unveiling .. but you were absolutely amazing yesterday. When everything else seemed to go awry, you and the team (Hi Amber and Jason!) were too good to be true. We love these photos and can't wait to see more -- reliving the day over the next few weeks will be so sweet. Thank you so so so much, the stars were aligned when we met you. :)
- The first shot is adorable! I love both their expressions. Can't wait to see the rest.
- Great Job girl!! LOVE the first picture!!! How's the new 5d treating you??? Super jealous!
- Those are beautiful! I can't wait to see more :)
- awesome improvision on using the car lights!! That picture looks fantastic!! Can't wait to see more :)
- What a fun couple! I really love the first one, and I can't believe they jumped in the pool! That's awesome!!!
- I love the first shot!!! You can tell how happy they are! And the picture of them jumping in the pool is just awesome!

Adam and Nichole :: Engagement Colorado Street Bridge
I cannot wait to shoot Adam and Nichole’s wedding this October! I had so much fun with them during their engagement shoot I can’t even imagine how fun the wedding will be. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much. They are such a fun couple!
Nichole has always loved the Colorado Street Bridge (which we later found out is also known as the suicide bridge… fun) and wanted to take her engagement photos on the bridge. I was so excited about this idea and really wanted to shoot at night because of the old looking light posts. I got even more excited when Nichole said they were going to wear vintage 40’s clothing.
We started off at Griffith Park for more casual shots and then headed to the bridge. They were such good sports waiting for 20 minutes or so below the bridge for the lights to come on. I’m pretty sure every other street light was on in the city of Pasadena except for the bridge. Eventually the lights were on and the bridge looked amazing… as did Adam and Nichole!
Here are a few of my favorites…
Love this moment
Loved the light
This was such a cool old building… it went perfectly with their look!
If the bus was from the 40’s I think this shot would have been perfect. =)
I love this one, Nichole is gorgeous!
And finally the lights are on!
So my mother sees this one and says, “did you write that on the bridge?” No! I did not graffiti the bridge… it was already there. Thanks to Adam for noticing it!
Thanks Nichole, now I have a favorite bridge too!
- Beautiful work. Some of these pics look like paintings. Awesome.
- awesome work Richelle, I love #9 they look hot :) and I love the light in #12
- I love these!!! They look like they were having so much fun! And her dress is just GORGEOUS! Gotta tell me where I can one of those. ;)
- Stunning photos :) Loving them!
- I love these! This couple is not only gorgeous, but has great STYLE! :)
- This couple is gorgeous! 6,7,8,10, ugh - can't decide which is my favorite! Super cool!
- These are awesome! Love the hats and love the bridge. I'm trying to pick a favorite... I think it's the last one. I love that just-before-dark sky.
Bill and Liz :: Sneak Peek
Two blogs in one day… I think this is a record! This evening I did a shoot with Bill and Liz who are expecting a baby girl in July. It turned out to be a beautiful day and the light was amazing! Here are a few of my favorites so far…
I love this!
More to come soon!
- Love the pictures...especially the bench :) The last picture in the sunset is gorgeous!
- that sunset picture is so nice! It feels so relaxing and stress free
Brody :: Sneak Peek
First, I have to say I think this is the quickest I have ever blogged a shoot but I loved it so much I have to share! Today I met up with Brody at a really cool farm. His mom thought of the location and I love it! Here are a few…
More to come in a few weeks so be sure to check back!
- That second photo is too cute! You can't leave us hanging like that. Can't wait to see more!
Audrey :: 5 Weeks Old
Audrey was 5 weeks old when I met her and I couldn’t believe how much hair she had! When I arrived she was sleeping and I was really looking forward to the sleeping baby shots. As soon as her mom, Reba, tried to put her on a pile of towels she woke up, wondering what was going on. After that, she had no interest in sleep… wanting to know all that was going on. Even though I didn’t get the sleeping baby shots, I was happy to get some good ones of her big blue eyes!
I love this trunk!
So adorable!
She wasn’t quite sure if she liked being in a basket
I loved seeing Audrey’s parents interact with her. They love her sooo much!
Looking at mommy
Love the blue eyes!
Precious!!
Her smile makes me happy!
Love the baby feet!
Getting a little more comfortable in the basket
One of my favorites
- You weren't kidding about all that hair. Too cute! I especially like the B&W's! The fifth one from the bottom is my favorite--I love how the lens blurs the corners to focus on her eyes. Great stuff!
- Richelle, you are so amazingly talented, I could look at your pictures all day!! This little girl is adorable, her smile makes me happy too! Can't wait to see your weddings! -Becky
- The basket one's are really cute! and the baby feet photo is just precious. That one is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing Richelle! :)
Rock Climbing Adventures at Stoney Point
Last month, my friend Amber told me she was going rock climbing. I thought it would be fun to shoot something different so I went. Little did I know I’d be hanging off of a rock. When we first got there I found a nice rock I could sit on that was about 20 feet up. It was perfect! I could get some really cool shots without actually climbing, which I’ve only done once at an indoor rock climbing gym. So here are a few shots from my very comfy rock…
This is Amber and a big rock. I don’t even understand how she is holding on to that rock!
This is Kenny, he kept me alive when I was hanging off the rock (keep scrolling down to see how)
This is Jeff, he’s an awesome photographer/ banjo player and one of the reasons I was hanging off the rock
Isn’t she pretty!
So Jeff thought it would be cool if I hung in the air and shot down. I thought he was crazy at first but I’ll almost do anything for a good shot! So, I was somehow hooked up to Kenny who lowered me down and then I was just hanging there free to move around. The scariest part for me, since I don’t climb, was leaning back to walk down the rock. I have my camera, shoot sac with lenses and I’m suppose to totally trust that this guy I met an hour earlier is going to be able to hold me while I lean back (kind of like he is leaning in the photo below) to “fall” off a rock. Yeah, not sure what I was thinking but it was fun and totally worth it! Photo taken by Jeff More
Jeff is sitting on the oh so comfy rock I was on earlier.
Yep, totally worth it! Photo by Jeff More
The results…
I seriously don’t understand how she is holding on to the rock
After the climb, safely on the ground. Photo by Jeff More
I guess all climbs end with a rock climbing, safety conscience guy playing the banjo!
- That is awesome, I could never do that..I love the photos looks like you had a great adventure !
