Kat & Gareth: Los Angeles Rock N’ Roll Portraits

May 23rd, 2012

Just as we promised, more Los Angeles engagement photography style portraits with Kat and Gareth from Rock N’ Roll Bride! We can’t get enough of this pink haired beauty and her beau and are so excited to share a few more from their fun Southern California session.

Doesn’t Kat make you want to run out to your hair salon and ask for cotton candy pink hair? We are officially obsessed with her style!

More fun around the city. For a little insight on why we absolutely adore Kat and her Rock N’ Roll Bride blog, here’s a little snippet on what her site is all about:

“Being Rock n Roll is not about being ‘cool’, being a rebel or even thinking of the most unique idea you can, it’s about planning a wedding that reflects you and your partner and declaring your love in your way. To be featured on this site, you don’t have to be cool. You don’t have to be ‘out-there’ or ‘offbeat’, you just have to be you.”

We love it!

It wouldn’t be a Tinywater Los Angeles engagement photography session without a series of funny and silly faces!

These pastel pink columns matched perfectly with Kat’s ‘do!

As the sun set, we captured Kat and Gareth in these Los Angeles engagement photography style portraits.

We moved on into the shade of the regal and architectural beauty that is the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. The high ceilings and columns really frames this session of Los Angeles engagement photography perfectly.

Moving indoors, it was fun to use the ornate iron filigree gates and railings as a backdrop to Kat and Gareth’s Los Angeles engagement photography styled portrait session.

One last one inside the gorgeous Biltmore Hotel. The stone walls and rich chandeliers provided the perfect romantic setting for these last few photos. We can’t thank Kat and Gareth enough for playing the part of our newly engaged couple for these Los Angeles engagement photography images. We highly recommend that you stop by Kat’s super incredible blog, Rock N’ Roll Bride, for some wedding inspiration that you won’t want to miss!

Kat & Gareth: Los Angeles Portrait Session

May 22nd, 2012

Today we are in for a real treat as we dive into Kat and Gareth of Rock N’ Roll Bride‘s Los Angeles engagement style photos! These two are responsible for one of our favorite wedding inspiration blogs on top of being one of our favorite married couples! Since we were both in Southern California at the same time we thought it would be fun to play around the city and take stage a few Tinywater Los Angeles engagement photos!

This bright yellow wall was a fun pop of color to use as a backdrop for these Los Angeles engagement photos. We instantly fell for both Kat and Gareth’s style and love that these two have no problem showing a little affection in public!

There was no better way to show off what city we were playing in for the weekend than perching upon some LA Weekly news stands! Kat’s pink bloomers peeked out from under her more demure black skirt for a flirty pop of color during her Los Angeles engagement photos.

Shooting within this urban landscape allowed for multiple colors and textures to make their way into these Los Angeles engagement photos.

Purple, yellow, blue and pink walls and bold graphic art created the perfect pairing for this Rock and Roll couple!

How awesomely punk is Kat’s bright pink hair do? These two are not afraid to show off their style and from the start we knew that we were in for some fun!

The Los Angeles palm trees provided just the perfect amount of shade from the warm Southern California sun.

Kat was a natural in front of the camera, showing us exactly why so many brides to be look to her for their wedding inspiration! We highly recommend stopping by Rock N’ Roll Bride to peruse her archives for some awesomely planned parties. Kat’s Rock N’ Roll Bride website boasts,

“Rock n Roll Bride promotes individuality and general awesomeness within a cookie cutter, pastel and puke-worthy wedding world. Don’t let the wedding industry define your day – let *you* define your day.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

Stay tuned tomorrow for a few more photos from this fun weekend in Los Angeles with Kat and Gareth!

Ian: Sacramento Senior Portraits

May 21st, 2012

As school rounds the corner towards graduation, parents have Sacramento senior portraits on their mind! We had the super cool Ian by recently for his Sacramento senior portraits for some photos in the studio and out and about town.

Ian currently attends the Sacramento Waldorf School and his hobbies are listening to music and visiting new cities. We connected instantly over our mutual love for thrift stores and Urban Outfitters! It was so much fun to show off his style through Ian’s Sacramento senior portraits.

With a sweet smile like that, we just know Ian will be smooth sailing once he hits college. His favorite places include Berlin, San Francisco, and Barcelona so you know Ian is well cultured!

We hit the outdoors and Ian threw on a pair of classic black shades. We love using Sacramento’s urban landscape for found textures and fun locations to shoot some unique and modern Sacramento senior portraits!

The light teal wall here provided a great contrast to Ian’s red checkered button down – a classic staple in this stylish Sacramento senior’s wardrobe.

The lighting was perfect as we moved from outdoor location to another through the city for these Sacramento senior portraits. Ian is into skiing in his free time, and Sacramento is the perfect location for a weekend getaway to Lake Tahoe for some fun in the snow!

We love the way the grungy background creates an interesting composition for Ian’s Sacramento senior portraits. Ian was so easy to work with, not complaining a bit as we asked him to smile and pose here and there.

Ian might look too cool for school, but in reality he’s just plain cool! With a keen fashion sense like his, he is sure to fit in wherever he goes.

Wrapping up this senior portrait session was bittersweet. We were so happy to have had the opportunity to meet Ian and we wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors – graduation and beyond! We hope this gave you a perfect little peek into our Sacramento senior portrait sessions, we just love being able to capture each teen’s individual style and personality for their families to cherish for years to come.

More from Happy Tails: Sacramento Dog Photographer

April 25th, 2012

We’re so excited to show you our second feature from our day as a Sacramento dog photographer at Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary. Happy Tails is located at 6001 Folsom Boulevard in Sacramento. Read on for more furry cuteness!

This little girl, Maggie, is a two year old Dachshund mix. It makes us so happy that not long after visiting Happy Tails as their Sacramento dog photographer, Maggie was adopted and given a forever home! After a truly sad story of the previous owner dumping Maggie and the rest of her family at a shelter, Happy Tails rescued her and gave her a very happy ending.

We instantly fell in love with this blonde beauty, Tammy, when we were visiting Happy Tails as their Sacramento dog photographer! She is about 2 1/2 years old, a terrier/Chihuahua mix and still looking for a forever home. Happy Tails found her running by the river, scared from being all alone. Now that she has been rescued, she would love to become part of your family. She is very smart, potty trained, and great with cats! She loves to play and one requirement is that she be adopted into a home with another playful dog. Tammy can’t wait to meet you!

This girly girl is Hope. She was a real cutie, and tiny! When we visited as her Sacramento dog photographer, we picked her up and at only 6 pounds, she is as light as a feather.

“I am about 4 years old. I am a little Dachshund mix. My owner dumped me at a shelter along with my doggy family. When Happy Tails heard that I was at the animal shelter, they came to my rescue. I am learning all kinds of new things at my foster home. I love to prance about and wiggle with excitement when my foster mom comes home. I get along with other dogs and cats – they don’t bother me at all.”

Another Happy Tails friend popped into some photos while we were there visiting as their Sacramento dog photographer!

Above is Tasha! Tasha is a sweet senior girl, spending most of her days sleeping on a nice dog bed inside a warm home, but also loves rolling around in the grass and going for brisk walks. She is about 35 pounds, is a little hard of hearing, and with a bit of arthritis in her hips but she is still playful and has a lot of love left to give! She is good with other dogs and cats and quickly bonds to her people. Give Tasha a forever home to live out the rest of her days with a family to love!

Our last pup from our day as a Sacramento dog photographer is Timmy. “I am a 1 year old Chihuahua/Min Pin mix and I weigh 13 pounds. I am a very gentle boy and I especially love cuddling and playing with children. I get along with other dogs and do ok with cats. I like riding in the car and meeting new people. I am house trained, neutered, have all of my shots, and I’m microchipped! I just want some love!”

We hope you can find some time to check out Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary and considering giving these lovely pups a forever home and family. You can reach them on their website, , email at , or by phone at (916) 556-1155. We just know you’ll fall in love with one (or more!) of these guys if you give them a chance! ♥

Happy Tails: Sacramento Dog Photography

April 24th, 2012

Did you know that in addition to being a wedding photographer, Tinywater‘s Caroline used to be a Sacramento dog photographer? We’re revisiting that super fun and furry pastime with a little feature on our friends, Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary. We paid Happy Tails a visit recently to photograph some of their current adoptable pups, and we can’t wait to show them off and help find them loving forever homes! You can stay updated with the current adoptable animals by .

This is sweet little Jackson! Jackson is a 6 year old Terrier mix, weighing in at just under 20 pounds. From the :

“He is a shy little guy at first but once he gets to know you, will be your best little buddy. He is a very sweet and affectionate little guy. Jackson prefers women but might be okay with a gentle male. He loves playing with other dogs his size. He is crate-trained but would love to sleep in bed with you if you don’t mind. Jackson is fully potty trained and is trustworthy to be home alone without issue.”

How could you resist those eyes? We love being a Sacramento dog photographer just for spending the day with fun and furry new friends!

Up next is Remy! We had so much fun photographing Remy and his perky ears as Happy Tail’s Sacramento dog photographer. He is a super cute 1 1/2 year old Chihuahua mix weighing in at just 10 pounds.

“I love being held and kissed and especially having my belly rubbed. I also love sitting on the couch watching TV while wrapped up in a blanket. I get along with other small dogs although I am not really playful with them. I would do best in a home with someone who is home often. I am neutered, have all of my shots, heartwood negative, and have a microchip. I am ready to be adopted!”

Just a $95 adoption fee can gift you with Remy’s friendship and unconditional love for life.

You can find Happy Tails on their website, , email at , or by phone at (916) 556-1155. We’ll see you again tomorrow for another bunch of these cuties just waiting to meet you! ♥
