This was a really cool event...a surprise wedding!!!
Mark and Maria had sent out invitations to all of their friends and family and had invited them to her 30th birthday party...well that's what the guests thought they were coming to!
Just in time for the ultimate April Fool's prank, right??!! We were at the gorgeous Figueroa Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
It was great!

I had the pleasure of having the wonderfully talented Jules Bianchi second shoot with me and we had an absolute ball! Jules and I have always talked about second shooting with each other, and I am so happy that we finally connected!

Here is how the day unfolded:

Last week Aron and I set off to the infamous Las Vegas for our annual WPPI/DWF convention and tradeshow. It is always super fun to reconnect with old friends in the industry and meet new ones, too!

We had a fabulous time at the 7th annual [b] party at THE Hotel in a super swanky suite hosted by becker.

a [b]ecker sandwich...

Mr. Joe Photo himself with his lovely wife Ingrid. They are so inspiring and full of encouragement. One of our highlights from this trip was having a very long and deep conversation with Joe about life, love and (of course) photography. His blogs fill me up each and every day! Thanks, Joe!

We love Sara France and Lauren Hillary! Aron was on a mission to find these girls, and as you can see, he was happy to have found them!!!
Thanks for feeding his ego, girls!

Our friends Stephanie and Jim Kennedy...it was so great to catch up with them.

Now it's back to work...the real world!
