Lisa and Jeff - westlake village, california

lisa and jeff on-line proofing website

they are young and they are in love, “high school sweethearts” …they are lisa and jeff! to be in their presence it is evident. they complete each other. the way they love ... the way they laugh. they also have something that is very unspoken, their own language. we all know this exists but jeff and lisa live and breathe by it. along with their parents and families i could safely say this was a much anticipated wedding day. just days after christmas, no less and every detailed was noticed. this was a joyous celebration of two families coming together






the day was clear, crisp and time seemed to stand still…then it switched into overdrive. there is always an anticipation waiting…but things like gathering around to view pics from your favorite camera, trying on your new shoes and receiving a text message from the one you love helps in a big way!




i think one of my favorite moments during a wedding is when the father walks his daughter down the aisle, puts his hand out to his son-in-law and gently holds a moment to “take it all in” before they make that small but subtle turn to face the…future.



taking snap shots of moments that come sooooooo very quickly at times karen and i can really feel the moments. unexplainable, somewhat, but only through our photography.


“there is something about a man in uniform”…you can see the pride that permeates through his confidence in wearing his uniform, being surrounded by a ban of friends and embraced tightly by the woman that loves him. jeff arranged to have a sabre arch (the tradition varies slightly among the different branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and is considered a privilege accorded to members of the service. usually, Officers or NCOs form the arch with sabers or swords respectively) for his bride upon exiting the church. stopping only to kiss lisa before being aloud to leave.

the following images reflect a light, fun, elegant and free spirit that lisa and jeff are…body and soul.
