2011 was a great year for Loren Scott Photography! We were busier than ever and had the pleasure of photographing weddings and engagement sessions for a bunch of really awesome couples. Rachel and I have selected some of our own personal favorites from 2011, and we also asked our happy couples to pick out some of their own as well.

So, here they are, from the [...]

On Sunday, December 11th, Loren and I photographed a beautiful engagement session with Jennifer Dominguez and Sergio Gutierrez at Glen Arbor Park (aka The Dog Park) in Murrieta. Despite the chill factor, it turned out to be a pretty good day for an engagement shoot. The weather was cooperating (as we’d just had heavy rains the week before), the early afternoon lighting was perfect, and [...]

On November 16th, Loren and I had the amazingly fun task of photographing an Old Town Temecula engagement session with Sarah Williams and Jeff Arbuckle. Sarah is a bit of a laugher…actually, that’s putting it mildly! Sarah laughs all the time and her laughter is infectious! It was quite fun watching her interact with Jeff while trying to keep a straight face. The resulting pictures [...]

On Saturday, December 3rd, I was close to home in Murrieta at the World Harvest Church to photograph our final wedding of the year, the beautiful winter wedding of Chantale Stamp and Anthony Ley! I had photographed Anthony’s High School senior portraits a couple of years ago. So, when it was time to plan his wedding, his mother contacted us right away. (Thank you, [...]

Last month we photographed a really awesome Fearless Bridal session in Laguna with one of our July brides, Monique Smith. Awesome weather, access to a private beach, Monique’s carefree spirit, and Monique’s romantic husband, Randy, all converged together for a perfect storm of picture taking!

Also known as a “Trash The Dress” session, that term may scare some brides, who fear the thought of actually [...]

On Friday, October 28, 2011, we were at the Bali Hai Restaurant in San Diego photographing the wedding of Kasey Middlestead and Trevor Schultz. Kasey and Trevor had a perfect bayside ceremony complete with gorgeous weather and a sparkling water view! And following the ceremony was a fun daytime reception on the Bali Hai patio, complete with fun and funky cake centerpieces!

As with their engagement [...]

On October 16th, I was at my most popular beach location for photographing engagement portraits — Laguna Beach, just behind the Montage Resort. On this occasion, the happy engaged couple in front of my lens was Vi Ly and her fiance, Steven Aranda.

Vi and Steven are doing a great job of planning ahead, as their wedding is not until next July 8th (at [...]

As I mentioned in the previous blog post, this winter is unusually busy with weddings for us, and Jill Liggett and Aaron Maurice are another of our happy winter wedding couples, with their wedding coming up next February 4th at the Wedgewood Wedding and Banquet Center in Fallbrook.

During their initial consultation with us, Aaron was telling me that he maintains the private wine cellar for [...]

Usually, the main “wedding season” runs from March through October. However, this year has been our busiest ever with weddings scheduled in November, December, and next January and February as well! Greer Wayland and Scott Sheldon are one of our happy winter couples and will be getting married at Wiens Family Cellars this coming January 14th.

So, on October 9th, we met up with Greer [...]

Seven years ago, April and Ken Gaudette said “I do”. And they hired a fairly well-known and respected wedding photographer to document their day. Unfortunately, as is sometimes the case with even the best in the business, for various reasons, their photographer (who will remain unnamed here) just did not have sufficient time to capture enough of the romantic portraits that April and Ken [...]
