Jennifer & Brian Gilmore

Brian and Jennifer met in 1998 when Brian was on tour with his band and Jennifer was going to college. Jennifer shot her first wedding in 2002 and Brian was shooting next to her at every wedding from the very beginning. After dating for 5 years, they got married in 2003. In 2005 they had their first son, then their second in 2006 and most recently had their third boy in 2009. They LOVE having a career in something they have a huge passion for ~ all while being a part of such life changing moments for their clients. For many couples, Jennifer and Brian have continued to photograph them as their families grow, which is a huge bonus for them! They love keeping in touch with all their clients who end up becoming their friends

Jen O'Sullivan
A graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, Jen has been working in the commercial and event photography business throughout Southern California since 1998, and became a full time wedding photographer in 2004 after getting married to Tim, her High School sweetheart and Junior High crush. She quickly left the commercial business behind after having such a hard time finding just the right photographer for her own wedding. Jen decided to try to change the way Wedding Photography is offered to brides and grooms. She has an open door, open book policy so you know exactly what you are getting. You will become her friend, she will photograph your first baby photos, just because she wants to gift that to you. You will become part of her “family.” As a boutique wedding photographer, she wants you to get all the attention you deserve. Your wedding is one of the most important days in your life and she wants you to love your day over and over again.

Pulled directly from her website:
"I love animals. I eat too much chocolate. I have handbags I had to have, with tags still on them. I love big earrings, especially hoops. I am a Mommy with 2 boys. I love my husband. I have crashed a motorcycle and I love my acrylic nails. I do not believe in moderation. i go all out. determination as a child made me a brat, successful as an adult.
I love my friends and red wine. I get in trouble at Target, Costco and Cartier. Sunglasses have my number, well that and things that sparkle.
I love Orange County, drives in limos to wine country, short trips to Los Angeles and seeing friends in Chicago. I love my morning coffee, and seldom read. I believe you can never laugh too hard, or take too many pictures. I love what I do. XO"
