welcome to my blog! For those of you just visiting for the first time, welcome!   My name is julie weaver and I am a Southern California based photographer. I have been a professional photographer for the past 10 years and have specialized in weddings and portraits.

Having a family of my own, I understand the importance of capturing those little moments that seem to flash before our eyes....the quirky smiles, the scrunchy noses, the temper tantrums, the interaction that takes place between you and your child....and even those wonderful teenage years...it's priceless and gone before you know it!  I am THAT person who gets to capture those silly and precious moments that you love so much. That's why I absolutely LOVE my job!

Thanks for stopping by!

Taking a chance on the moody weather, Kendra, James and I decided to play against the odds, and we won! Let me tell you, it was the best decision we could have made.... I have only managed to edit one image so far, but I will post more over the weekend! Make it fabulous!

So... this was part 2 of Zach and Allison's engagement session. Their first session was done down on Balboa Island, and for their second shoot, they came to visit me in Claremont!!! They even flew in from the OC...that's one way to avoid the SoCal traffic!!! I am so excited for their fabulous wedding in August at Balboa Bay Club, so stay tuned! My favorites from the day....

Since Andrew and Gila live in the heart of Corona Del Mar, they thought it would be fun to have their engagement session right in their own backyard! We started out at a little winery in Laguna, then made our way to the beach! We had a lot of fun: This one just makes me laugh!!! Can't wait until your wedding in August! Thanks for the great time! -julie

Chris and Kelli live in the bay area, and it was really important to them to capture their engagement pictures in an area where it is very special to them...San Fransisco! I flew up there for the day and had a lot of fun getting to them more as we drove to several locations that they loved. We started at the Golden Gate Bridge but  the wind and fog were so bad that day, it really didn't work out.  BUT....there were these really cool abandoned bunkers that were there and i absolutely LOVED the feel and texture of them: This is their baby, Otis.  He loved making his appearance! On to some cool architecture... Then to downtown & the wharf! This is "The Bush Man"!!! He hides behind these branches and scares people as they walk by!!! It was hilarious! The Bush Man has been around for 28 years... Kelli & Chris: Looking forward to your wedding in October!

I know I always say this, but I just love my clients!  With each engagement session i do, I enjoy getting to know my clients better and have so much fun laughing with them throughout our shoot. It is so important to click (no pun intended!) with your clients because you are documenting something very special to them, and it always puts them at ease when they can let their guard down and just be themselves. I have been very lucky with getting clients that i REALLY enjoy! Chris and Clarissa are no exception!  As childhood family friends, they have had the advantage of knowing each other and their families for a very long time.  Clarissa's brother and Chris were great friends, and I can picture Clarissa as the little sister who always wanted to be a part of their fun....well, as the years went on and their interests changed, guess what happened???!!! They fell in love!!!  We had a blast in Pasadena at City Hall and the surrounding area shooting their engagement session! Thanks for the great time, and I can't wait until your wedding in August!

AWESOME !!!!!! These pictures capture the the very essence of the love you both share with each other. I can see the strength and confidence in Chris and the love he has for Clarissa. Frame 2 is amazing, it captures the embrace of a bride who is deply in love with her husband. This picture should go on their mantle. See you in August.

Chris only you can get Clarissa to beam so brightly with a single glance. I am so blessed to be able to call Clarissa a friend. Now that feeling has doubled as God has called you two together. Just one question...will you do photos again when you have your "first" kid???? CAN'T WAIT!

Love you two,
Tia Crystal
