Growing up in Simi Valley...

I thought it was so boring. Now as a photographer I think it's so cool. We have a lot of nature and incredible hiking trails that a lot of other places just don't have. It's no wonder that Corriganville Regional Park is still a hot spot for movie filming. Recently Once Upon A Time in Hollywood was filmed here. I actually did a session around that time (not this one) and saw the trailers set up and blocked off. Sadly no glimpses of Leonardo DiCaprio though. But dang how cool to live so close to a movie location like this! Plus it's right down the street from Hummingbird Nest Ranch which is a wedding venue that celebrities frequently book. Hit me up if you're looking to book your wedding there (hint hint) I'll give you a huge discount- no joke.

Other Simi Valley wedding venues include

Qual Ranch

The Vineyards (where these two were married)

Strathearn Historic Park

Hummingbird Nest Ranch- oh did I say that one already?

Back to these two- their wedding had a "Til Death Do Us Part" theme, so they chose all black for their engagement session colors. I love it and think it suits them both so well. Heather and Kenny have super fun personalities that really shine in their photos, and we all had a lot of fun!

Heather and Kenny hosted their wedding at The Vineyards in Simi Valley, right down the street from Corriganville. That blog is soon to come!

Don't be afraid to be yourself during your session, don't do only what you "think you should".
