I was hired by a very special family to photograph their son and his beautiful bride after their ceremony at the LDS Los Angeles Temple. The Temple grounds are beautiful. I am always in awe of how peaceful it is to be on these grounds given that they are situated right in the middle of busy Santa Monica. There is a special feeling here…and I felt priveledged to record the first moments of this newly wed couple after their wedding.
I love the expression when couples take their first steps into the world as one…bride and groom. She is so happy; he is so proud to have her…they are in love.
Jesse…
he and Lois met at BYU Hawaii…I quote this confession he shared on his blog about when he first saw Lois…
” I heard the unforgettable utterance “the Philippines.” My out-of-focus, tranced eyes quickly snapped to attention and zeroed in on the girl, whose image left an indelible impression upon my mind for the rest of the day. My first encounter with Lois De Ette ended there, with her not even realizing anything had happened.”
Love at first sight…it does exist…
I can see why…
she…
is…
beautiful!
and he swept her off her feet…
and they married April 26th…2008.
Congratulations Jesse and Lois!
Enjoy your honeymoon together and this fresh new start at life. You are a beautiful couple! I was honored to share in your wedding day!

I think my oldest, Loren was 2 when we graduated…she’s going to be 9 in July! I was 8 months pregnant with my Lindsey at our graduation and she is about to turn 7. Then Jake is 5 and Allison is turning 2 next week. Time flies! I love where we live & life is busy busy but wonderful. Do you live near Clint? Do you live in S. California? Is Alana married with kids too? Tamar and I have kept in contact. She lives in Philadelphia… her husband is in dental school. Krista Pendleton is in UT with 3 kids. Her blog is linked to mine. Those days…you look beautiful as always. Haven’t changed a bit! so fun to hear from you. Let’s stay in touch. By the way, you are so talented. I love your photography blog and your girls are so beautiful! How fun! Love, Megan
