andrea and rich

i also shot a wedding for andrea and rich this weekend in san diego. they had their wedding at mission village and it was beautiful! their reception was in a room that overlooked all the boats in the marina. at the reception, andrea surprised rich with a song she had written and recorded (she is an amazing singer!) and his expression was SO SWEET! you can hear some of her songs by clicking here.

here are some of my favorites - and of course, there's a slideshow too! Click here to see the slideshow!

brittny and steve

i had two weddings in southern california last weekend, and brittny and steve were my first. they were married in the san diego temple on a perfect day in sunny la jolla! here are some of my favorites...

we met the night before to do most of the bride and groom portraits. their videographer, perry, was also there. this was our second wedding together, and he is such a pleasure to work with.

steve and brittny claimed they were awkward in front of the camera, but we got TONS of great shots, and i think they were really sweet together! i think steve even got into taking pictures by the end of our first night of shooting!

jenn and abel's slideshow

okay, its up! here is the slideshow from jenn and abel's wedding!

jenn and abel

here it is! this is the wedding i did last weekend with heather from amorology weddings. like i said before, it was a dream day - beautiful weather, small intimate ceremony, super-sweet bride and groom, gorgeous decor.... i could go on and on! jenn and abel really wanted to capture the candid moments of their family and friends, and the day was so relaxing that everyone really enjoyed their time together!








this is abel and his daughter - you can tell they have a very special relationship!




















i loved all the detail - from the gorgeous plates and goblets to the beautiful tent.























unfortunately, my main computer is still broken, so i'm not able to post the slideshow until after i get it back, but i wanted to post some of my favorite pictures from the day. i will add the slideshow soon (cross your fingers for me - they say tomorrow, although they also said today!)

morgan and dallin

morgan and dallin got married last weekend in southern california. it was a little stormy, and i think we were all watching the clouds and the weather reports all day long! it was gorgeous for the ceremony, then it rained, then it was on and off sunny during the couple's portraits, then it rained, then it finally stopped for the reception - but not before they had already moved the tables and everything inside!

morgan looked absolutely gorgeous! it was also a really fun wedding for me because my sister was one of the bridesmaids along with morgan's two sisters, so it was fun to hang out with them all!

































































they had hot dogs and hamburgers for the reception, and it was set up like a 50s style diner - complete with a movie set designed especially for them! i posted so many pictures, that i wasn't going to put any from the reception, but i wanted to post this one of the sign on their movie set.

in LOVE with Amorology

this is my FAVORITE wedding coordinator, heather. she is not only the nicest person ever, but her designs are unique down to the last detail. she just launched her brand new website, and three of my weddings are featured - "with honors", "orange crush", and "good fortune"! check it out by clicking here, and if you know anyone getting married that could use some help - she would be an amazing asset!

best of 2007!

actually - these are only SOME of the best of 2007. i had so many amazing shoots, that as i'm going through to update my website, i am having a REALLY tough time deciding! these were some of my favs from the most recent night's work - but i love them all!

here it is!!

this album is a new coffee table book style that i am offering to my clients. this particular one is 7x10 when finished, so its perfect to have sitting out on the coffee table! I also like the more casual albums as a fun alternative to the big traditional ones.

jessica and eric

jessica and eric got married in california. the weather report called for "substantial rain" so i was really nervous about the day! amazingly, it didn't rain at all any of the time we were doing portraits outside!
