Welcome to my blog! My name is Trista Lerit and I am a wedding photographer based in Orange County, California. Beautiful, Modern, and Edgy Wedding Photography is what I specialize in but every now and then, I love capturing little rascals a.k.a. kids!

This blog is where I'll post pictures from weddings, engagements, and little rascal sessions that I've shot recently. However, I won't limit my posts to photography related things only! This blog also doubles as my online diary where I'll discuss my love of food, share my favorite YouTube videos, post adorable pictures of my dogs (yes, I'm one of THOSE people), and talk about anything else I feel like!

I'd love to hear from all my blog visitors so please don't be shy, my blog doesn't bite ;-)

Thanks for stopping by and come again soon!

Wow...Kari and Chris were so much fun to shoot with!  It was the first time I had met Chris so I didn't know just how much fun he was going to be!  Both of them were so relaxed in front of the camera..they of course said they were nervous but you would have never known based on the pictures!  Kari has such a great smile and laugh..as does Chris!  LOL..Kari said she was only marrying Chris for his good looks..she said she was just kidding but I think there might be a glimmer of truth to that ;-)

I cannot wait for their wedding next May..it's going to be blast!  Thanks you guys for making the session so fun!  Now for some favorites!

Love how the leaves frame them..

Kari and Chris both love sports so I thought it would be fun to include a "sporty" element :-)

I loved this door!

I think Nathaniel is the first GENIUS I've ever met..SERIOUSLY!  When I arrived at the house, Nathaniel and his mom greeted me at the door.  It was the first time I had met him so I asked him "How old are you?"  His reply?  "Two Years and Three Quarters".  I did a double take...say what?!  I couldn't believe it.  That wasn't the end of it though.  His mom asked him to show me to his play room and he led me to the back of the house.  He said "You can come in Trista but just remember to take off your shoes."  He said it..EXACTLY like that!  Perfect pronunciation and everything.  I'm still in awe :-)

Nathaniel is as sweet as they come and just a dream to photograph.  Like any other child, he doesn't like to stay still for long but he loved being in front of the camera and never threw a tantrum..a MIRACLE for a toddler I think!

Nathaniel, I know you can probably already read my blog perfectly so I just wanted to say I had soooo much fun playing with you!  I hope to come and play again soon...and don't worry..I'll remember to take off my shoes! ;-)

Nathaniel is such a gentleman.  I told him I liked being sung to so he whipped out his guitar and started singing!

Nathaniel acting coy :-)

I love this one!

He LOVED being on the swing!  A genius still needs to take time out to be an "ordinary" kid, right?

Janet and Andy were actually married a few months ago on the oh-so-popular date of 08.08.08.  They had a civil ceremony with just a couple of their friends in attendance but knew they wanted to throw a party to include the rest of their family and friends. They had their reception at the beautiful Island Hotel in Newport Beach and it was a very fun day..especially for me!  You see, Janet and Andy allotted lots of time for their bridal portraits which is ALWAYS nice since we can take our time, walk around, scope out some awesome picture-taking spots and most importantly, have fun!

Janet and Andy, thanks so much for having me at your wedding celebration!  Now for some favorites!!!

Love this!

Love this too!

Janet & Andy had a cute little dance routine that impressed everyone!
