Josh & Lisa’s Intimate La Venta Inn Wedding

La Venta Inn Wedding Photography | Miguel Pola Photographers

Some of you may remember Josh and lisa from their Engagement shoot at the Santa Monica Pier. Lisa And Josh Came to me from a previous client Sommer Co Owner of So Cal Shutter Booth. I was fortunate enough to photograph Sommer and Scotts wedding a few years back. Thats where Josh Comes in. See, Josh is Sommer’s Brother and was the officiant for her wedding. Fast forward to last fall, When Josh and Lisa had their intimate wedding at La Venta Inn in Beautiful Palos Verdes. Lisa wore a beautiful Amsale wedding gown. While the bridesmaids wore gorgeous Jenny Yoo Dresses. Lsia Wanted to have her and her girls take advantage of the Palos Verdes Estates Coast line. So she decided on the Terranea Resort for the her bridal prep location. The view was stunning with beautiful blue skies to accent the gorgeous Palos Verdes coastal Landscape.

I love how Lisa’s beautiful blue eyes just jump out at you in this image.

Josh & Lisa Decided to have a “first look” prior to the ceremony. Our attempt at having them spend so “alone time” prior to the ceremony was a success. It was a little tricky at this venue due to the size and the logistics to where the actual ceremony was to take place.

Thank you Josh And Lisa for you and your families’ hospitality. Cant wait for you to see your finished album design.

Sleepless In Seattle

Seattle Engagement Photos | Miguel Pola Photographers

Well lets just say these two were sleepless in Seattle! At least the night they met.  :)  See Scott is a huge Galaxy fan. (Soccer) He’s a season ticket holder.  He decided to look at their away schedule and realized that Seattle would be a great place to travel for a quick weekend trip.  So he and a friend went for it.

Michelle with a large group of friends decided to shoot up to Seattle for a fun filled weekend of friends, fun and soccer.  After the game, Michelle and her friends decided to go to the local stadium tavern next to Seattle stadium.  Being that they were all from LA, they were the only Galaxy fans in the building.  So Scott and his friend, while at the bar not knowing anyone else there, found a great way to cruise on over to the table where Michelle and all of her Galaxy friends were.

Michelle playing a little hard to get, finally started to chat Scott up and they talked all evening long. The rest is history. When Scott and Michelle hired our studio they thought it would be a great idea to go back to Seattle. The city in which they met, to photograph their Engagement Session.

Never having been there myself I decided to get there as early as possible  to scout the area for their shoot. Luckily people in Seattle are really nice and helpful!  :) Here are some of the images from our fun Seattle Washington engagement shoot. I hope that you enjoy them as much as the time i had Photographing them.

Tigers, Birds, and Zebras Galore at Rancho Las Lomas

Rancho Las Lomas Weddings | Miguel Pola Photographers

When I met Paul & Rory, they mentioned to me that their wedding would be at Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado Ca. I was super excited! Even though I have shot there numerous times, I still always find it super fun to shoot there. It’s like Disneyland for a photographer. There are always new fun little spots to photograph weddings there.
Rory wore an amazing dress that complimented her very well. She looked amazing! As for paul he was looking sharp! With their wedding held at the outdoor alter, It made for an amazing ceremony. The details that Rory and Paige of Paige Ashlin Weddings and Events chose, created a beautiful ambiance for their guests to enjoy. Beautiful arrangements were done by Marisa of Empora Flora. Simply amazing job!

Here are some of my favorite images from the event.  I hope you can enjoy them as much I enjoyed taking them.

Travis, Stephanie and their cute little monsters

Fullerton Engagement Photos | Miguel Pola Photographers
Travis’ proposal was probably one of the craziest we’ve ever heard of. Picture this, Stephanie was on a Hawaiian beach by herself and her 007-esque Travis drops in with a helicopter on a special mission. Her mission, should she choose to accept it, was to be his partner for the rest of his life.
She accepted her mission and that brings us to today.
We spent a day together visiting locations that both Travis and Stephanie chose for their engagement session.
On our escapades they brought along Layla and Ellis, two adorable “monsters” as Travis calls them.
I love this set of images.  It really shows how diverse fullerton really is. We started at Vill Del Sol, then worked our way around the  city. We were able to capture a little bit of everything.  From an urban feel to a outdoor, woodsy feel.  Travis & Stephanie started out a little nervous but after a few minutes they both warmed up to the camera and had a great time.  Thanks you two for allowing me to take these great images of you.  :)
Travis and Stephanie will be Having their wedding at the beautiful Villa Del Sol in Downtown Fullerton Ca. We look forward to capturing many amazing wedding day photos for them.

Josh and Lisa’s long awaited engagement

Josh and Lisa met in college, with a long relationship, this engagement was overdue. Thanks to Lisa for having the patience for waiting for her Prince Charming.

Josh and Lisa came to me from a previous wedding that I photographed. I shot Sommer and Scott’s wedding in Fall of ’07. Josh was ordained just for Sommer and Scott’s wedding.

We met in the afternoon at the Santa Monica Pier just before a special time photographers like to call “Magic Hour,” but something was happening that was even more special than the way the sun was setting. I was able to see the love between Josh and Lisa. Sharing this evening with them made shooting their wedding even more special, I got to know them for who they are. People don’t realize how engagement shoots are, it’s a time set for the me and the couple to bond. It’s where I learn little secrets about the bride and the groom, we get to talking about the wedding day’s details, and it’s a time for brides and grooms to get to know me as a person.

Josh and Lisa had their wedding at the beautiful La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes, California. Be sure to check back to view their amazing wedding.
