Orange County Wedding Photography – Michal & Tony

Jolynne — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:19:09 +0000

This was so much fun for me! This is my college buddy, Michal! I was so happy that she asked me to shoot her wedding. She and her hubby, Tony, got married in Dana Point, CA at the OC Sailing and Events Center. So, so pretty. Aren’t they cute?

My good friend, Andrew O’Neill, was my second photographer for the day. These next two shots are his! Look at Michal and Tony’s boys! Are they just the cutest!?

Michal’s beautiful dress.

Everyone was so laid back and fun. There was lots of laughter :)

Another Andrew O’ Neill image. I love it!

Proud mom and dad. Dr. Webb was my college professor and he and Judy are long time friends of the family :) It was so great to see them!

Curtis Templeton presided along with Michal’s Dad. See what I mean? Lots o’ laughs!!

It was a college reunion for me!! These were all friends of mine at Pacific Christian College! So fun!!

And yet, another special detail to this wedding for me. Chris Gillette played at MY wedding! He is an amazing guitarist and a long time friend of the family as well.

I was so happy I got to use this at this wedding! This is my Bridal Survival Kit I bring to every wedding. I was noticing that every wedding I shot, it was inevitable that I would hear, “Does anyone have a bobby pin?” “Safety pin?” “Tide to Go?” etc… so…my HUBBY, and Rainmaker at Jolynne Photography, created this little kit to provide for ANY needs a bride could have! Bobby pins, safety pins, sewing supplies, nail files, Tide to Go, socks, gel, tampons, band-aids, nail clippers, wash cloth, etc…!! I thought it was brilliant. And sure enough…there was an unwanted tag…and my scissors were used! Thanks, Joey!!

Yay!! Congrats, Tony and Michal! I am so happy I was able to shoot your wedding! It was great to see you and everyone! Hugs!

Los Angeles Engagement Photography – Lindsay and Chad

Jolynne — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:08:13 +0000

Lindsay is a cute pinup model beauty with gorgeous red hair and sweet tattoos. Chad is a policeman with the LAPD. When we met for their engagement photos, we just HAD to have some dress-up fun. I love that they were up for anything!

Now that we did something fun and flirty, it was time for something a little more…um…

Here are some images you might see on a vintage pulp novel cover.

And then onto some country cuteness.

I think they are just the cutest. And sweet, too! :)

What a fun shoot! So fun to step outside the norm. Thanks, Linsday and Chad, for havin’s some fun! It was so great to meet you!

Los Angeles Engagement Photography – Leslie & Eric

Jolynne — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:01:12 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing Leslie and Eric at the beautiful Getty Villa in Malibu, CA. They love the arts, so they thought this would be the perfect spot…and it was! It was gorgeous. And what a sweet couple they are! Handsome, too, don’t ya think?

Thank you so much, Leslie and Eric! Continue in your sweet love for each other. Hugs!

Temecula Family Portraits – The Rider Family

Jolynne — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:51:20 +0000

I love this family! Meet the Riders! Tony and Heather Tietz (far right) have been our close friends for 15 years. Heather and I were roommates in college and Joey and Tony traveled the world together with the ROCK and ROLL sensation, Skypark! :) I truly love this family. Mr. and Mrs. Rider have raised a beautiful family. Can you tell who’s related? Yep…the mamas of all those cutie babies :) We met in Temecula for some photo family fun :)

The cousins!

Proud mom and dad.

Could you just kiss those little faces?!

Thank you Riders for a fun time! I love you all!

Laguna Beach Engagement Photography – Jennifer & Oz

Jolynne — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:40:46 +0000

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…

Hollywood Fashion Photography – Vessels Fall 2010 Collection

Jolynne — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:00:41 +0000

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 :)

Idyllwild Wedding Photography – Hilary & Justin

Jolynne — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 08:21:42 +0000

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…

Orange County Wedding Photography – Bryan and Lindsay’s Engagement Photos

Jolynne — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 08:01:10 +0000

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…

Menifee Engagement Photography – Shiloh & Jonathan

Jolynne — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:48:23 +0000

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…

Free Engagement Photography in 2010

Jolynne — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 21:02:46 +0000

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!

Your friend,
