December Preview

Thursday, December 2, 2010 Posted in Photography

I photographed my last wedding of the year last week and I’m itching for next year’s wedding season already. At the beginning of this year I had only two weddings and I seriously thought that was going to be it for me… boy was I wrong. I am forever grateful to my bride and grooms and to the amazing friends I met this year who have allowed me to shoot with them.

Although wedding season has come to an end, I have plenty to share.

Here are a few upcoming weddings and projects.

Enjoy!

Mission Inn Wedding Photographer | Bernadette + Burl

Tuesday, November 23, 2010 Posted in Weddings

Bernadette has a smile that lights up a room. Combine that with her laugh and you’ve got a killer combo. Burl and Bernadette met at her salon. She would cut his hair and he would soon return to the salon and there’d be nothing to cut. He was running out of hair but he just had to see her. See her smile and hear her laugh before his allotted 8 weeks in between hair cuts. Soon enough he was getting his hair cut for free.

Bernadette and Burl exchanged vows and said I do at the Mission Inn in Riverside California. I shot this wedding with my great friend Heidi of Off Guard Photography. This wedding was extra special to Heidi because Burl is Heidi’s cousin.. but more like a baby brother to her.

Bernadette & Burl. Your wedding was magical and your first dance-skit-montage was beautiful and hilarious. Thank you for having me and treating me like family!

Heidi! My new bff! Thank you! You are so fun! I smile and laugh all day long when I’m around you… and not just at you when you break lenses

Long Beach Wedding | Adriana + Enrique

Tuesday, November 16, 2010 Posted in Weddings

There are people you meet in this world, some stay with you… some do not. Adriana and Enrique are the type of people that stay with you. It’s hard to forget a crazy, loud, fun, and sweet couple like them. They are amazing and really, I couldn’t have asked for a more laid back and easy going couple to photograph.

Adriana & Enrigue tied the knot on October 23rd. The ceremony was a traditional catholic ceremony held at All Saints Catholic Church in Los Angeles. After the ceremony we headed to Long Beach for bride and groom pictures. And then on to the Westin for the reception.

Adriana & Enrique! Thank you! Thank you for allowing me to hang out with you two on your most important day. I loved that you two went with the flow. You two are crazy and sweet and I adore you! Thank you!

Casa 425 Wedding | Ashley + Lucas

Thursday, November 11, 2010 Posted in Weddings

It feels like we’ve been friends forever. In fact, I honestly can’t remember the first time we ever met… like bff’s since birth. I arrived at Casa 425 to shoot a wedding with Rita of Clifton Photography and Alicia. It was a gorgeous day, summer was just ending and Claremont was the perfect backdrop for Ashley & Lucas’ wedding.

Shooting a wedding with Rita is hanging out and having an amazing time all day. She is truly an exceptional photographer and even more amazing as a friend. We all three bonded, laughed, learned, and were welcomed into Ashley & Lucas’ family… and that is why I am in love with my job!

Rita! Thank you a million times over. Your heart is pure gold and I am truly blessed to have met you. Alicia, you are a hoot! You will always be my dessert buddy!

Ashley & Lucas, you two are amazing! You were so kind and welcoming and oh-so-gorgeous! Thank you, to you and your families!!

Electra Cruises Newport Beach Wedding | Christian & Sorrell

Thursday, November 4, 2010 Posted in Weddings

It was her smile. Her laugh. Her passion for life. Her ability see the good in all. Sorrell saw all of this in Christian and wanted to be a part of her smile, laugh, generosity and passion… for a lifetime.

Sorrell is a lucky man, and now husband. And Christian is a lucky woman, and now wife.

Christian and Sorrell live in Illinois but decided to get married near Christian’s family in Newport Beach. The wedding was held on the Athena Yacht on the Pacific Ocean.

Their wedding was intimate- friends and family, filled with love, poetry, dancing and music.

Christian & Sorrell, you two are amazing. I felt welcomed and I can’t thank you enough! I hope you two are enjoying life and most importantly, each other!
