Wedding Photography, Creative Photojournalism and Fun
Hello! My name is Jolynne, from Jolynne Photography. I'm a creative wedding photojournalist. I live on a small farm in Hemet, CA with my husband and assistant photographer Joey, our four kids, my folks and lots of animals!
In addition to being a destination wedding photographer in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, I also shoot engagement photography, family portraits, senior pictures, band photography and my own fun, fine art stuff.
My style of photography is fun, creative, detail-oriented. I like to make people feel at ease during their wedding photography or portrait session.
This is my blog. I love comments and subscriptions...so come back soon and come back often :)
Meet Jennifer and Oz! My college friend, Michal, referred Jennifer to me, and I am so grateful! What a LOVELY couple! They were wonderful. Jennifer’s smile is absolutely gorgeous. We met in Laguna Beach and braved the rocks and waves to get some beautiful shots. You wouldn’t even know it, but the beach was crowded! I ducked and turned to hide children behind them in the shots :) We had a great time. Thanks so much, Jennifer and Oz, it was so great to meet you! Hugs…
I have to say, this is one of my favorite shoots, yet. And it was absolutely new for me. My brother, Joey Grana (Scout L.A.), asked me to shoot his and Azita Sheridan’s ( Matter Yoga), new Vessels Fall Collection 2010. Rebecca Schwartz is our gorgeous and sweet model here. And her stunning hair and make-up by none other than the amazing, Kevin Posey. We had such a great time together…everyone of us doing our parts. It really was a great team, and so fun to be a part of that. They were looking for a more natural lit setting, which you know I will always prefer…so we set out around Hollywood BLVD and found some fun walls…Hollywood building walls :) We found em and got to work. It was a perfect day and I am excited to share these with you. Make sure and check out Vessels Fall Collection 2010 coming out in July! The facebook page is new so become a fan to get your updates :) 
I love this family. Hilary was my hubby’s assistant in the mortgage biz before he became the Rainmaker at Jolynne Photography. We got to know each other and her sweet boys through all the the craziness of that business. Justin and Hilary tied the knot in Idyllwild at the Heritage House and asked me to photograph it. It was a perfect day. And who is going to bite that little munchkin? It would be me, because he is so DANG cute.
Hilary wore a GORGEOUS vintage dress. She looked absolutely stunning.
My good friend and photographer inspiration, Andrew O’Neill, shot with me as my second. The next image is shot by him. I love this one, it’s a little magical…like…what’s going to happen when these shoes are worn? I don’t know, but probably something magical…and glittery!
Isn’t she lovely?
And so handsome.
Another Andrew O’Neill beautiful shot.
M.U.N.C.H.Y!!
The cutest surprise smile…
Darling.
So alike!
Hilary and Justin…I am so honored that you asked me to shoot your wedding. I can’t wait to hang out with you soon :) All the love! Hugs…
Bryan and Lindsay were down for the holidays from Oregon and grabbed me the day before they left for home and took advantage of my free engagement photography session! We met at beautiful Corona del Mar, where, by the way, was my first date with my hubby 15 years ago :) It was a gorgeous day at the beach and I think they are super cute :)
They are big Tim Burton fans and will have a Tim Burton themed reception. How cool is that? Thanks, Lindsay and Bryan! Hugs…
Meet Shiloh and Jonathan! So so sweet. I just love love. Shiloh and Jonathan met me at one of my fave places, Wagon Wheel Ranch, in Menifee, to take their engagement photos. Do you just love their smiles? Beautiful, I tell you. And those smiles were backed by their sweet spirits.
I know, I know…he looks like a bad boy, right? Ok, he’s got the look, but (total teddy bear ;) Don’t tell his friends :) No really, though, I thought I’d play with that image a bit, but every photo had laughter in between.
There really was not much coaching in the snuggle kiss department. I just followed them around a bit and caught some of the love.
This swing is too fun. My kids LOVED this swing when my girl took horse lessons here. So, we thought we’d visit it…for fun’s sake, of course.
I think this is cute. Jonathan’s last name is Card.
Shiloh and Jonathan, thank you!!! You are wonderful. Thank you for booking your wedding with me, too! I look forward to hanging out with you again :) Hugs…
This year I am doing free engagement photography sessions. I will literally do the shoot without charging a penny. Typically an engagement session costs $550, but it will cost you nada with Jolynne Photography.
How does it work?
Request an appointment by clicking here. I’ll meet with you and your fiance at a location of your choice for a fun, on-location photo shoot. The appointment will be after sunrise or before sunset and last for up to two hours. Because weekends are reserved for paying jobs and family time, free engagement shoots are on weekdays only.
I want free engagement photos, but I don’t live in Southern California!
I’ll still do them for you! You can take a mini-trip to Southern California and meet with me. Or you can buy me an airline ticket to come to you. Considering that the regular price on an 
engagement photography session is $550, you’re still getting a great deal…and maybe a little rest and relaxation, too :)
What’s the catch?
The only thing I ask is that you take advantage of the offer, NOT the photographer :)
If you already have a wedding photographer and have no interest in my services for your wedding, be honest.
Why are you doing this?
Because I’m confident that when we do your engagement shoot you’ll have a great time. And that when you look at the photos on your online gallery, you’ll fall in love. And that when you fall in love, then you’ll hire me to do your wedding photography :)
Prints of your engagement photos or albums are available at a great price from your online gallery. And if you hire me as your wedding photographer, you’ll also receive a high-resolution disc of your engagement images (delivered at the same time as your wedding images).
What happens if I don’t like working with you? Or if I don’t like the photos?
You’ll LOVE working with me and you’ll LOVE the photos. ;)
Yeah, but seriously…What if I don’t?
Nothing at all. Promise. You find another photographer for your wedding. Easy, right?
I’m only doing one free engagement session a week in 2010, so sign up fast before you miss out!
