kelly and bill {los angeles, ca}

Kelly and Bill eloped! So what would have originally been an engagement portrait session, became tagged as post-elopement portraits. These two are so cute. They are so clearly in love (both with each other, as well as with their sweet dogs Violet and Vita). We had a great time photographing at their house, with their…

angel and rick {santa monica, ca}

Congratulations Angel and Rick! These two had a wonderful wedding, attended by a lovely and lively group of family and friends! While helping us with this image, Angel’s mom joked that this kiss is “Mother-in-Law Approved.” Jeanie Lee Toon did an amazing job with the flowers. It was really cool how they made different color…

Rick - As purely objective viewers, we love these wedding photos and can’t wait to see the others. Thanks again for doing such an amazing job organizing and corralling all of our family and wedding party for the pictures. It was the most incredible day of our lives and we are so grateful to have beautiful pictures to remember it by.

despereaux rescued

My first few days back in Los Angeles, were spent rescuing a little dog found roaming down San Vicente (a very busy street). We called him Despereaux, after the movie mouse, because of his enormous ears! Sadly, he had no tags and no microchip, so we could not find the dog’s original owners. Luckily Jay,…

Elaine - Beautifully done. Absolutely gorgeous–both people and animals.

Alice - Sarah just reminded me that we actually had a few names for this cutie. It started with Vincent, because we found him on San Vicente. Then it was Freddie Mac, in case he was a foreclosure doggie. Finally, we ended with Despereaux… adorable, brave, and more adorable!

sarah knowlton - freddie mac!
hope you’re happy little guy: sorry ishmael kept trying to eat you while you were visiting.

san francisco babies {part 2}

Times do change. I was still shooting with film, when I photographed Kristin and Matt’s wedding several years ago. Now, I primarily use my digital cameras. Kristin called me to photograph their beautiful daughter Lucy, who recently turned one. This little bundle of cuteness sure does love to run! Look how a little game of…

san francisco babies {part 1}

One of the lovely perks of being a wedding photographer is I’m often called back to photograph the new generations… aka the babies. While in San Francisco last week, I was lucky to have three such jobs! I photographed Brook and David’s amazing wedding in Idaho. They now have two beautiful children, Grace and Xavier….

A-T - Hey Alice – what a luscious treat to see these photos of Grace and Xavier. I love your blog! You do have such a gift! I love to take photos and I can appreciate your skill, because, believe me, my pix don’t look like yours!!

Say hi to Lulu for me.

Brook Broughton - Alice is just amazing. Her portraits of my kids just capture their essence in such a simple yet intimate way. Grace was NOT going to get her picture taken by someone she didn’t know yet only moments later, in such a sweet and organic way, Alice had her turning somersaults and dancing without a bit of hesitation in front of the lens. This woman is such a talent and I would refer her time and time again to friends and family. Thanks Alice!

Cheri Carbaugh - Love it, love it, love it!
I had seen some of your photos at John & Beth’s and liked them. But I’ve only seen a little of your website so far and I’m falling in love already! Awesome eye, awesome composition, awesome technical stuff. I like the first one of just Derek in the grass the best. But in all your shots, I love what you capture.
Kudos!
Smiles and blessings,
~ Cheri (John’s big sister)

“nostalgic” photo contest entry

At the last minute, I entered a photo into Pacific Weddings Magazine’s Photo Contest. The theme is “Nostalgic.” Most of the examples PW is featuring are posed portraits; but I just love this candid I caught during Karina and Bruno’s first dance. Nothing is more nostalgic than memories with a true love; and to me,…

k - We love Alice’s style. Her pictures capture a great quiet energy… you can see the inner thoughts and feelings. We felt very comfortable with her being around us all the time on our big day. That is probably the most telling thing we can say about her. We cherish the finished album. It contains all the hidden details and colors of what we experienced.
