Bitter End March 2008

Bitter End San Diego, CA

While taking my black & white photography class... I managed to get some friends to agree to dressing up and going to the Bitter End Bar, downtown. I was so impressed with their ability to look stunning and like professional models! You were all amazing to me and thank you so much for putting up with my crazy ideas!!! I was using my film and digital camera... so I was SUPER annoying!! And I must admit the film shots came out better then the digital!! But here are a few that were good....

Jennifer & Jason Engagement March 30 2008

Balboa Park / Mardsen House San Diego, CA

Jennifer and Jason were so fun/funny to take pictures of! Jennifer is so pretty and simple to shoot. And as always the guy poses a bit more of a challenge.. but then loosens up and actually starts posing! They were in good spirits and Jason really handled his modeling moments like a pro. The fact that these photos were such a breeze I am really looking forward to their wedding!! thanks for having good attitudes and having fun.. or at least pretending to!!! I think you can tell in the photos how much these two really enjoy eachothers company.

Long time no blog....

Sooooo if you're checking this out you'll see a big gap from March until now! I've been busy. In my "off season" (march-may) I coach girls lacrosse at La Jolla High School and this year I also took a black and white film class. Both were wonderful but REALLY kept me busy! So I have been majorly behind in my blogging.... I'm trying to catch up, I've been shooting some amazing weddings and other events!! I have been so lucky lately with great photography moments!

enjoy......

Kat & Ryan Wedding March 15, 2008

El Cortez San Diego, CA

Kat, Ryan, and I had just taken photos 2 weeks before the wedding so they were nice and comfortable with me and my camera! The Hotel that Kat got dressed in had amazing light and I could have taken pictures for hours... Lucky for me that as just a preview of what was to come! The entire wedding was gorgeous! I loved the colors- the peacock feathers- EVERYTHING!!! I had a blast! And I had to post a pic or two of the kidos that were there!!!

Kat & Ryan February 17, 2008

Balboa Park, San Diego, CA

Kat and Ryan are getting married in 2 weeks! We managed to squeeze in an engagement session just in time before the big day. They were so laid back and up for anything. Which was great because I'm constantly seeing cool places to quickly stop and shoot. We ended up with a bunch of great shots in lots of different locations. I can't wait for the wedding!!

Jackie & Matt February 10, 2008

La Jolla, CA
Jackie and Matt are getting married in May so we went down to their favorite "secret" beach in La Jolla. It is a sweet spot with a little cove beach and rocks all around. These two couldn't keep their hands off each other! They had a great energy between them, that makes me look forward to their wedding... We waited forever for a good day of sun and clouds. As you can see it was worth the wait!!

Melinda & Matt January 31, 2008

Mission Beach, CA

I went to college with Melinda, and by luck her and her fiance were visiting California for a long weekend. We were able to get together and do a little engagement shoot California style! It was a lot of fun and we had a great time seeing each other. They haven't picked where they're getting married yet... it looks like back east, but there's a slim chance here in San Diego......
