Kevin and Shonda ~ 09/21/2013

Kevin and Shonda - Shadowridge Golf Course, Vista, CA

Kevin and Shonda got married at a beautiful gold course with their friends and family. My favorite part about their wedding was Shonda's dress! I had never seen a pink wedding dress in person before- and she was stunning it it! Love. Aside from her outstanding dress, their wedding was really quite beautiful. It was a perfect day for their outdoor ceremony and photographs. Also at the reception their guest gave o many heartfelt speeches, I always enjoy listening to the speeches at their wedding. After listening to all of the wonderful things said about them I could tell they have wonderful people in their lives- and they know how to party! Such a fun wedding....

Kim & Shelia ~ September 20, 2013

San Diego, CA
Kim and Sheila got married at the San Diego courthouse this past fall. Kim's brother and girlfriend asked me to photograph the wedding as their gift. They had planned to have their ceremony at the court house and then celebrate with a delicious lunch afterwards. Their adorable son was a witness their marriage, as well as Matt and Courtney. It was a sweet and intimate ceremony. I found it so special to be able to take their photographs and I was happy they made a little extra time to snap a few photos before heading off to lunch!
Here are some of my favorites....

Mario & Jennifer ~ September 14, 2014

Mario & Jennifer - Spanish Trail Country Club- Las Vegas Nevada

Mario is one of my best friend's brother. I was honored that he and Jennifer asked me to photograph their wedding. It was like hanging with family for the entire weekend, which makes it a nice environment to take photos... everyone trusting each other and letting their guard down a bit. Their wedding was at Mario's country club, a beautiful setting. They have 2 really cute kids who hogged the camera all day! Not only are their kids cute but Mario and Jennifer were such a beautiful couple and so happy to be getting married. It was a fun wedding to photograph- and we got some stunning photos!

Enjoy!



ONE OF MY FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM A WEDDING IS THE WALK DOWN THE AISLE! THE EXPRESSIONS ARE ALWAYS PRICELESS!!

Joe & Erica July 27, 2013

Joe & Erica- Seattle Aquarium, Seattle, WA

This was such a fun wedding! I had never been to Seattle so I was more than excited to check out the city for the 1st time!  Joe and  Erica had known each other since they were babies! Their moms were friends but after a few years they moved apart from each other, Joe up to WA and Erica stayed in CA. They would find each other again on... facebook! At the reception there were photos of the two of them as toddlers hugging and playing together! LOVE IT!!

Aside from the amazing "how they met" story... the girls got ready at the Four Seasons in Seattle, a beautiful hotel. And even more beautiful was Erica, her dress, her bridesmaids, the flowers, the colors, family, friends, pretty much everything! It was just as fun as I thought it would be. Their ceremony was outside on the dock of the Aquarium- right on the water. And then the reception was in a room in the Aquarium with a floor to ceiling fish tank! The sun was shining it was a beautiful summer day in Seattle... a brilliant day for a wedding!

I know I had a blast taking photos- and I know the bride & groom and all their guests did as well!!

Enjoy the highlights!

Dana & Colin Engagement Session


Old Poway Park-
Dana and Colin wanted to have their photos taken some place rustic and interesting. I had recently seen some photos from the Old Poway Park and thought it looked pretty perfect for what they were looking for. They agreed! The location was a great mix of old western rail mixed with a few modern color backgrounds we found. I really enjoyed the location- and the couple was adorable, sweet, and easy to photograph. Their wedding was pretty great as well... I'll share those photos soon. Enjoy!











Trista & Michael - Engagement Session

Solana Beach Train Station-
Trista and Michael are getting married next month! The wedding will be in downtown San Diego at the Luce Loft, so for their engagement photos they wanted to have some neat architecture but also a bit of the coast line. The Solana Beach train station is perfect for that. It's a great mix of modern backdrops but also a quick walk to the beach for some nice beach photos as well. I can't wait for their wedding!!
Enjoy!
