he stood atop the helipad, 34 stories above downtown los angeles, peering out over the LA skyline. and then she slowly stepped up behind him and cupped her hand over his eyes and beckoned him to turn around. before she gave him that first look, she gave him a quick kiss, eyes still covered. and when she removed her hand, his jaw dropped to the rooftop.

rusty and stephanie tied the knot after meeting in vegas, a story you can read about from their engagement shoot. in stephanie’s words, they are exact opposites. he’s athletic… and a short-track speed-skating olympic medalist at that… and she’s not. she loves all different types of food, and he only likes 2 or 3 types of food.

but, as they say, opposites attract… and that is exactly how it is with stephanie and rusty. so, with their closest friends and family surrounding them, steph and rusty pledged their lives 452 feet above downtown los angeles. and what followed was a pretty rockin party!

here’s a glimpse at their cool & modern wedding.

when they met thru mutual friends and she offered her number, andrew saw it as a good sign. when he caught the garter at her cousin’s wedding… on their first date… it was a done deal. and it’s obvious that lauren and andrew are perfect for one another.

when i first met lauren and andrew, they made the trek down from simi valley, to meet up at my favorite starbucks on the map, which just happens to be in downtown san juan capistrano. after our meeting, they decided to check out the little town & historical district which they had never before visited… and they fell in love.

so, when it came time to plan their engagement shoot, los rios district in downtown san juan was at the top of the list. we met back at that same starbucks and spent an hour or so together just hanging out, sharing in good conversation, and taking a few photos inbetween.

meet lauren & andrew. they’ll be tying the knot at maravilla gardens later this summer.

p.s. these two are total troopers. that morning, lauren and andrew were in montana, spent their afternoon in utah on a layover, flew into los angeles, drove down to san juan for their shoot, and then made their way up the freeway to simi valley to call it a night.
