THIS ONE IS A LONG ONE:
In the end of last year my cousin-in-law gave us the wonderful news that she was getting married. As a photographer, I secretly hoped she'd chose me to photograph her wedding. She was as excited as I was for me to be her photographer. When she told me she wanted a themed engagement session, of course I was up for the challenge. She was getting a 1920's wedding dress made. I started researching what I could about that era. Most of the photography is serious, with strong poses and no smiles. Next was looking for a site. The Ebell Club of Long Beach was the first place that came to my mind. I had my wedding there and I obviously feel a strong connection to the place. I knew it was the perfect place, elegant and beautiful as it is, it was also built in the 1920's. After I contacted the manager Liz, she gracefully us permission to shoot there.
Silvia from Sassy Make-up collaborated with the hair and make-up and was a wonderful help thru part of the shoot. http://los-angeles-makeup-artist.blogspot.com/
Diana was a natural in front of the camera. We had so much fun shooting these.
Here are just some of many beautiful photos we took there in February:
This one is my favorite
I played with the light for a different look for the following photo.
It was time to move outdoors and take advantage of the natural light and background.
The Charleston
A special thanks to the Ebell Club, Silvia with Sassy Make-Up and my husband Steve for their wonderful help.

I found a 1920's era trolley and headed there.
This photo was the one chosen to display at their bridal shower.
And last, a change to regular clothes for a more modern feel.
It was cute watching these two. Their love was evident through out the whole shoot.
