Okay, we have received ALL of your e-mails pestering us to update the blog already!  hahaha   It's
Wedding Season people, we have no time for anything!  LOL :)  Lets just say we are running around
like chickens with our heads cut off !  This is July in Bakersfield and it is CRAZY HOT and it seems
everyone is getting married right now and wanting pictures to be taken like crazy!  SHEESH! 
We thought we would have a break, but nooooooooooooooooo!!!!  lol  So we are thinking we
are just going to barely have time to update the blog only once a month right now! 
But, we finally had some time to put up just a few of our recent weddings and
post a little update on our very own little one! :)

Here is our little man!!!  Can you believe he is almost 7 months now!  Where has the time gone?
All we know is we don't know what we did before he was born!  He is the most precious
baby boy anyone could ask for!  And he is just HILARIOUS!!!!!!

Scott and Leanne are just HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!  We had such a great time with these two!  They got
married at the Double Tree, and laughed throughout the day with each other!  Talk about
a couple who truly knows how to have some fun!  We just love them!   Have a great honeymoon
guys!  Your album is going to be so much fun to design!

Justin and Laura had a beautiful wedding in Tehachapi at a Private home that needs to be a venue
itself!  Between their funny and goofy looks at each other, this couple had a good time and just wanted
to party!  It helps when the grooms sister is a professional wedding coordinator too!  Have a great
honeymoon guys!

Josh and Kindra had an AWESOME wedding at Stockdale Country Club that was truly one of a kind!
With the entire place adorned in the most beautiful florals we have seen in a long time and crystals
hanging from every tree, all we can say it was fit for the movies as a fairytale!  Also, this couple
was sooooo in love they made our job easy!   Thanks for the great time guys!  We enjoyed it!

Josh and Amber are just soooooooooo sweet!   They are two great people, who in our minds had
one of the most perfect wedding days we have captured !!!!!  They had a beautiful wedding
at the Petroleum Club and lets just say their images are just soooo cute! 

Tim and Aimee had an fun wedding at the Museum of Art.  Lets just say we pulled out some great and
unique images that are pretty awesome!   Thanks for letting us do our thing guys!

Mark and Rachel are just plain fun and goofy!!!  After one of the most memorable and hilarious
engagements ever with them, we rocked their wedding too!   They also partied down at the reception
at the Holiday Inn.  It is so nice when a couple is just into each other and not paying attention to
anyone around them!   Thanks for the relaxing day guys!  Have a great honeymoon!

Steven and Sabrina had a GORGEOUS wedding at the Petroleum Club!   It was simply amazing!
They spared no expense on the intricate details and decor.  Just imagine everything that is
glamorous and beautiful in all the bridal magazines was actually their wedding! lol 

We just love Stacey!  We rocked her wedding a few years ago, and now she is expecting a little one
of her own!  We played phone tag back and forth keeping the secret from her husband that she
had maternity pictures taken!  She surprised him with actual framed prints from her session for
their anniversary present!  How cute is that???  We love when we get to share special times
with all of our clients!

Anthony and Alia are one unique couple!   They had a beautiful wedding up in the mountains at the
Democrat Springs.  As you can see, Alia wore a black gown and their dogs were part of the wedding
party! hahaha  Also, they were just a great couple to work with and very relaxed.  How relaxed
were they?  Lets just say Alia wore black Vans under her dress the entire day! lol  But all humor
aside the reflection shots we got of them on rocks in the water are just absolutely amazing! 
Thanks for letting us rock your wedding guys!

Ivan and Rosa had a beautiful wedding at the Women's Club and really trusted us to pull out
some great art.  They were too cute and doting all over each other all day!  It was hard
not to have a kissing picture of this couple! lol  Have a great honeymoon you two!

Sorry we haven't posted in a while!   The month of April was absolutely crazy!   We did over 20 plus
engagement sessions this month and that is just for our summer/fall brides alone!   Also, that doesn't
include all of our other portrait sessions!  GEESH!!!  We finally got our heads above water and
realized we need to post some of our recent weddings! :)

Harold and Brandi had an awesome wedding out of town at a Fort, and lets just say the images
we captured are so going up in our gallery!  We know this is just a snapshot, but the rod iron gate
images alone are amazing!!!!  Thanks for letting us have fun with you two!

Okay, first off Aaron and DeeAnn are hilarious!  With Aarons quick wit sense of humor and DeeAnn's
hilarious facial expressions, they made it a joy to capture them!   Also, their daughter was one of the
most cutest flower girls we have ever dealt with!   Have a great honeymoon you two!!!!!!

After we rocked Cain and Michelle's engagement session, they knew we would rock their wedding too!
AND WE SOOOOO DID!   With a beautiful wedding at Bakersfield Country Club, this couple partied
the night away!  With the toast speeches alone, this was a great day of photojournalism and emotion!

Kelly and Susanne had a cute and quaint wedding at the Holiday Inn.  Talk about a fun day!  This
couple let us tour them around town for some great images and moments!  Thanks guys for
letting us do our magic!!!!

It's finally official!  After almost a year of getting it put together our NEW Portrait Studio is up and running!
Before this our portraiture was only open to existing or past wedding clients, never before the open public
due to space!  Now after opening our New Beautiful Wedding Gallery we were swamped with phone calls
of people still wanting us to do Portraiture, and after a long wait we finally decided to open it to the public
and we were able to add on and have a great Portrait Studio offering Extraordinary Portraiture as well!

Happy Leap Year! lol  NASCAR season is here to all of the race fans out there (including us)! And we wanted
to congratulate our family on another great year to come!  Beam Designs is one of the biggest racing graphic
design teams out there!   If you didn’t know from before, we come from a long history of awesome artists and
graphic designers.   It all started with Sharon’s father Ron and her uncle’s Bob and Bill way back in the 70’s
when they started Beam Brothers Creative Paint and Pinstriping, creating the most hottest paint and graphic
jobs out of California dominating the scene for over 30 years now.   If you grew up in Central or Southern
California you had to have a Beam creation.  While the brothers are now all individuals with their very own
businesses doing the same cool things in different locations in Nevada and California, the artistry
has spread throughout the children following in the family footsteps.

Just a few years recently, Ron was published internationally in the acclaimed book “Pinstriping Masters” as
one of the worlds best Graphic Designers out there and is in still high demand in the region!  Our very own
Sharon (Ron’s daughter) here at With Love Photography who has taken her job offers from Art Institutions
and Schools on the East and West Coast and Walt Disney as a graphic designer has turned her passion and
gift into new levels of photography album design setting us apart from the rest.  And now her cousin Jason
is running Beam Designs and dominating the racing scene all around the world being based in Las Vegas.  If
you watch any NASCAR race on TV and see “Beam” right under the helmet shield, you know its Jason’s!  
Check out www.beamdesigns.com if you gotta get the coolest auto graphics known today!  Congrats Cuz!!!!

Jeff and Holly had us capture their wedding a few years ago, but Jeff's sister just came in talking to us
about maybe shooting her wedding and told us all about Jeff's success with his band.  Right before the
wedding Jeff's Band was signed by Epic Records and immediately after the wedding they toured all over
the U.S.   Just a few months ago this adorable couple were finally able to pick out their picture for their
custom album and we are so proud of their success!  If you haven't heard of them check them out! 
Their name is Lost Ocean....

In all the chaos we forgot to post Evion and Amber's wedding!  We did her sisters wedding a couple of
years ago and rocked it, so she knew she had to have us for her wedding as well!  They had a HILARIOUS
wedding at The Park Place in Shafter.  Along with the cowboy theme and rifles, we had time to capture
the loving moments between these two!

Josh and Ana are just adorable!  We met them at the last Bridal Show and when they said their wedding
date we thought they meant next year, not just a few weeks away! lol  Ana said she was a stickler for
the right photographer, and was glad she found us!  We got some amazing images that are too cool!
Thanks for trusting us to capture your love and your life guys!  Have a great honeymoon!

Steven and Christina are hilarious!  They had a fun wedding at Riverlakes Golf Course.  To start Steve
didn't want to wear his tux jacket and the look Christina gave him was priceless!  Then he didn't want
many pictures taken because he was camera shy, and then not wanting to get the "look" again from
Christina he quietly participated! lol  They had us in stitches all night!  Have a great honeymoon guys!

phone calls and consultations we are looking forward to the weekend!  (our only one off for quite a while).... 
The Ultimate Bridal Event at Rabobank was awesome again!  It was brides galore, from wall to wall,

Okay, first off HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!  We know its been about a month since we last posted, but we have been
swamped!!!!  My goodness we can't wait for a break! lol  We got the cool weather we wanted, which is now
soooo needed from running around like chickens with our heads cut off!  hahahaha  Below is just a few, but
not all of our recent weddings that we were able to get up fast for some sneak peaks!  Enjoy!


Did you hear about the FREE wedding give-a-way from the Kern County Bridal Association?  Every year they
do a drawing to win a free wedding to couples who want something different.  This is the second year we
have participated as the photographers for their day, and it is soooooo crazy!  After winning, the couples
get involved in a whirlwind of activities for a week to cram what usually takes 6 months to a year to plan! 
After winning a free Photographer, DJ, Officiant, Invitations, Bridal Gown, Tuxedo, Flowers, Hair &
Make-up, and a honeymoon etc., the couple then gets married on top of a float during the Bakersfield
Christmas Parade live on TV!  It was pretty cool with over 15,000 people cheering "congrats" to them! 
The lucky couple this year was Ric & Tracy! 
 

Garrett and Jessica had a GORGEOUS wedding at Riverlakes!  Talk about classy and edgy at the same time!
Jessica had everything adorned in pink and brown with crystals and feathers EVERYWHERE!  That made
for some awesome backgrounds in our images!  On top of the couple already being cool, their wedding
party were just fun to work with too!  Have an awesome honeymoon guys!  See you soon!

Angel and Blanca had a quaint and cute wedding in Shafter, and then partied the night away at the Noble House.
We got some awesome images of them in alleys and in front of old vintage buildings!  Thanks guys for being
up for anything, you made our jobs much easier!  Have a great honeymoon!

Richard and Angela had a breathtaking wedding at the White Horse Inn in Visalia. Talk about having multiple
locations for pictures!  All we can say is WOW!  Some of their images look like we hand painted them!
They then partied the night away with friends and family.  Have a great honeymoon you two!

With an awesome wedding at the Museum of Art, Eric and Claudia were such a pleasure to work with!  Thank
goodness the weather held up!  We were so worried it was going to rain on their day, but nope, all went well!
With partying the night away, this couple had a blast!  Enjoy your honeymoon guys!

We usually don't have time to post our portrait sessions, but we just had to post this one!  We had the pleasure
to capture Robert and Lisa's wedding this past year and now they have a little one of their very own!  Little
Riley!  We had to get mom and dad in a picture with her!  They just dote all over her, and are the picture
perfect family!

"do our thing"!!!!!  This couple was so fun and such jokers!  With romance and laughter throughout the day,
the images were just fantastic!  Have a great honeymoon guys! 

Corey and Melissa had a beautiful wedding in Pismo. Too bad it was soooooooooo hot for beach weather,
but they toughed it out and we all got through it!  We are capturing their wedding reception the next
weekend at a different venue complete with Kern County Fire Trucks and all!  (of course because
Corey is another one of our great fire-fighter clients)  See you soon guys!

We were at Kern County Museum again and rocked it all over again, but with a huge and different twist!
Mark and Gina had some great images with the Horse and Buggy that they rented and we toured
the entire venue!  Totally awesome!

Some of you might recognize Charlie and Megan!  They were featured in the Bakersfield Californian
as cover story to the Ultimate Bridal Event in January as they followed them around as a day in the life
of a couple!  Poor Charlie got a nickname we won't mention from his fire-fighter buddies after that!
We also had so much fun with them on their beach engagement session, that we knew their wedding
would be no different!  Leave it to Charlie and his groomsmen to keep the laughs going all night
long!  Thanks for one of our funniest and favorite weddings to date!
