Kristopher & Alexandra 2.18.12

Coronado Community Center, Coronado, CA
     I met Alex and Kris over a year ago when we did their engagement sessions. For which the photos came out amazing! We took photos at Sunset Cliffs, and they brought along some red balloons as props! I knew the wedding would be just as cool as their engagement shoot... and it did not disappoint! In fact I had too many cool photos to preview on the blog! 
     They got ready at the Glorietta Bay Inn on Coronado... they had a wedding coordinator, Amy Vargas of "First Comes Love" who kept us all on our toes! And their DJ was someone I work with often, Bill Calhoun. 
     The ceremony and reception was held at the Community Center, which always makes a good backdrop.
The wedding was beautiful, Alex and Kris photographed so well. She reminded me of Snow White all day long! I also loved their ceremony- it was round. Meaning everyone was surrounding them, which was something I had not seen before. It made for great vantage points for photography. 
     One of the last photos we took were outside at night. We didn't really have a good sunset, there were too many clouds, but later those clouds were lit up from the city lights! I knew would look great in photos. Alex had asked me prior to the wedding to take the night photos so we were prepared. We only stepped outside for a few minutes- it was a little chilly. It was worth being a little cold though!!

Enjoy!

Bryan & Elizabeth, May 28, 2011

Mystic, CT
Bryan and Lizzy were married in my home town back in Connecticut. I've known Liz since high school, her older sister, Caroline and I are best buds. So not only was I thrilled that Liz had finally met a great guy and was marrying him- but that I also was going to be able to photograph their wedding!

She got dressed at her parents house and then we took a trolley over to St. Michael's Church for the ceremony... then after we all rode over in the trolley to the Mystic Seaport and Latitude 41 for the reception. I love shooting weddings at the Seaport- such a fun back drop. And it's usually almost empty by the time they let us in. Thanks to Bryan and Liz for getting in the mini sailboats (that I took sailing class in years ago) and their wedding party- made for a cool photo! We also saved about 10 mins for just Bryan & Liz photos after the cocktail hour and into reception, but the fog rolled in on the Mystic River really quick and we had to take photos earlier than expected! It actually made for neat lighting and backdrop.

Such a great wedding! I loved every minute of it! Enjoy the photos!!

Mark & Season ~ May 13, 2011

Liberty House, Jersey City,  NJ
Season and Mark had a beautiful wedding at the Liberty House which is the edge of New Jersey and the Hudson River... and across the way is NYC. Which makes for an amazing backdrop! I love Season's style and taste, her wedding was absolutely beautiful- and as you'll see from the photographs so were Season & Mark. Their wedding was a blast to photograph and I loved so many of the getting ready shots it was hard to only pick a few to post! I just loved the colors- the veil-the dress- Season!  Enjoy!










Pasquale & Christian ~ May 7, 2011

Terra Serra Museum, San Diego, CA

Christian and Pasquale got married at the Terra Serra Museum which sits above Old Town San Diego. This location is really old, historic, private, and so pretty. I love that their guests get to enjoy the sunset outside overlooking the land and out to the ocean. I had met Christian the year before, I photographed her best friends wedding, Crystal, who was now a bridesmaid in Christian's wedding. Her and Pasquale were so sweet and laid back the entire wedding, they looked so happy and in love that day. I truly enjoyed photographing their wedding, hopefully the photos will show that!!

Jason & Becky April 10, 2011

The Thursday Club, Point Loma, CA
This was a neat location for a nice little wedding. I say nice and little because Becky & Jason's wedding was just that! Their guests were their closest family and friends and they had a beautiful daytime wedding with a delicious brunch for all. I loved the antique feeling of Becky's style. I also loved that it was important to them to take some time after the wedding to go down to Sunset Cliffs for photos. Such a beautiful day for a beautiful couple!
