Corona, CA.-A Tonya Joy Vintage Romance-Stylized Shoot

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to join another Tonya Joy Stylized shoot.  It was everything I thought it would be and more:) The shoot was held at a private residence in Corona, CA.  The minute I pulled in I was in awe of how beautiful this property was.  ”If Tonya were a house, she would be this house”~ Kelsey .  Of course Kelsey was referring to Tonya’s impeccable style, detail that doesn’t skip a beat and creativity that bring so much Vintage Romance to this shoot.  Please enjoy the boat load of pictures.  I couldn’t narrow down a favorite, so I am showing more than usual:) Enjoy!!

 Models: Kelly & Garreth
Hair/Makeup: Leslie Cordero
Styling/Shoot Concept: Tonya Joy
Amazing florals: Oak and Owl Floral and Interior Design

Kelly, you are beautiful!

The light coming in was amazing.

Kelly blowing a kiss to her love.

I love me some black and white. So Timeless, romantic and beautiful.

I think this might be my favorite....but then again, so are all the other ones.

Such a gorgeous bouquet.

Decoupaged Chair with music sheets by Tonya Joy. I told you...she's pretty amazing:)

I stepped outside for a minute to get some air. The hot and humid day called for it:)Before I walked back in I caught this picture of Kelly. Isn’t she stunning?

Absolutely gorgeous!!

We stepped outside and took advantage of The Golden Hour.

This light...I love it!

 

Thank you for stopping by!

Los Angeles, CA – Christin & Aeron – Modern As Tomorrow

When I see these two together I couldn’t imagine what their world would be like without each other.  As soon as they arrived I could see the Romance, perfect chemistry and how in love they are with one another.  I am so honored to have captured their 1 year wedding anniversary through my lens.  Alexander and I had such a blast spending the afternoon getting to know Christin & Aeron.

Even though the sun wasn’t shining, their personalities lit up their session.  Here are the pictures to prove it:)

 

 

 

 

The sun made a quick appearance. I love the light here.

 

"Life, the gift of nature Love, the gift of life A Kiss, the gift of Love."

 

This is where the fun really kicked in!

 

 

 

Seriously? This is how good they looked at the end of our session. Covered in paint and all;)

 

Thank you Christin and Aeron for being such good sports through your whole shoot.  You two are amazing together and my heart is happy knowing you two personally and witnessing such genuine love.  Wishing you both a beautiful journey in marriage.

 

xoxo,

Faith Cherisse

Balboa Beach, C.A. – Angela & Omar – Modern As Tomorrow

 

A 1st date is supposed to give you chills and when it’s over, make you long for all the moments that you shared.  Not this date!  Angela agreed to go on a date with Omar, but she unwillingly had to cancel because her sister was on her way to give birth to her 1st child (Angela’s 1st nephew). Of course this sounded plain crazy to poor Omar!  But being the gentleman that he is, he joined Angela at the hospital to welcome a new life into this world. A baby was born, and a very eventful 1st date was shared with a bouncing baby nephew. I’m sure cutting an umbilical cord and sharing a new life was not on the agenda and it may not sound like the ideal date, but it was theirs.  Angela must have been a rock star of a labor coach because after only dating for 1 month Omar professed his  love for Angela by proposing to her and of course she accepted.  Shortly after their wedding day, Omar was deployed and they spent the 1st year of their marriage communicating through letters, and phone calls that were never long enough.

 

Angela and Omar have reached their 10 year mark in love and marriage and chose to document their milestone with a photoshoot.  I am honored and happy that I got to spend the day doing what I love…documenting life, love and moments that matter.

 

Here are some moments that will last Angela and Omar a lifetime!

 

May God continue to bless you and your marriage.  Happy 10th Anniversary and many, many more!

 

xoxo,

Faith Cherisse

Cherisse,
Thank you so much, we love every picture! You did an amazing job. You captured all the love we have for each other. I can’t tell you how much it means to us to have these amazing pictures. Can’t wait to do it next year.

It was my pleasure Angela!

Seal Beach, CA.- Sara – Modern As Tomorrow

Sara is always a behind the scenes kind of gal.  Being that she is a hair and make-up artist, she is very familiar with prepping for photoshoots, but has never actually been in front of the camera.  The thought made her nerves rattle and I convinced her how fabulous she was going to be.  The proof is in the pudding!  Sara is GORGEOUS and I have the pictures to prove it!  Internet meet Sara!

 

Sara was undecided on how to celebrate her 20th Birthday, of course I suggested a photoshoot!  I love my ideas:)

Happy 20th Birthday Sara!!

Stunning! oh to be 20 again...sigh.

This light, these eyes, this look, her hair....oh, your killing me!! Beyond Gorge.

Happy 20th Birthday Sara! You are beautiful and talented beyond your years!

 

If you want to get in touch with Sara for hair and makeup, please visit her on Facebook at Sara Elizabeth Make-up!

Irvine, California Wedding- Eddie & Perla

A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to work with and assist Elizabeth Luna. It was a great honor for me because I was actually a student at  Elizabeth’s wedding workshop that she had exactly one year ago.  Since then we have become great friends and I adore her love for photography and teaching.    Thank you to Elizabeth Luna of Elizabeth Luna Photography for having me assist her on this beautiful wedding!  Eddie and Perla made me smile the entire day!  Their hearts are filled with so much love!  I wishEddie and Perla the best of things in marriage. I am confident that you two will be a blessing to each other and those who you meet along your journey.

Perla nervously and patiently waiting to walk down the aisle.

I loved watching them ring the wedding bells!

The Bentley was so fitting for such a beautiful couple.

One of my favorites.

Perla...you are stunning!
