Ngan & Graciela: Married!

Carlos and I drove up to Capitola, near Santa Cruz for Ngan and Graciela's wedding. So beautiful! I had never been there and I was blown away! They got married at the cutest bed and breakfast there called Monarch Cove Inn. They were such a sweet couple and made us feel so welcome and their families were so much fun. Just wait until you see the dancing pictures, Graciela's mom is a dancing machine. I loved it!

Carlos and I! I love shooting with my hubby!

My mom is from Florida and one that that I LOVE about Florida is the moss that hangs off the trees. I wish it grew in Orange County! They had tons of it in Capitola and I just thought it was the coolest thing.



My favorite shot of the day. Look how cute and happy they look.

Mark and Sara: Married!

This wedding was AHHH-mazing. There was such an ambiance, every detail was just perfect. It was a photographer's dream with all of the fun details. Mark and Sara were so great, they have such a fun style and that shown through throughout their wedding (right down to Mark's Darth Vador grooms cake). And I loved the live band. If there was one thing that I would re-do from my own wedding, it would be that I would have a live band, it adds so much to a reception. Here are some of my favs.

This is one of my favorite dress shots EVER.

Another couple that opted for the First Look. Love it!


Such an awesome couple! I had so much fun!



What an exquisite backdrop. They were married in Topanga Canyon, it was a VERY warm, but such a beautiful day.



This is my very favorite shot of the day.

Chad and Ashlee: Married!

I knew this wedding was going to be fantastic the second I walked up their winding driveway and saw the most beautiful Victorian home I have ever seen. Yes, my friends, this is their home...not a reception venue...AMAZING! Plus it didn't hurt that Chad and Ashlee are beautiful. It was just a perfect day all around. They decided to do a First Look, which I HIGHLY recommend, it is always so emotional and wonderful and they just felt so relaxed the rest of the day. In the slideshow you will see the first 8 images of the two of them together were from their First Look. We got such amazing images because it is all just raw emotion. LOVE IT! Definitely check out their slideshow at the end of the post. It is one of my favorites ever, their are a TON of images (I had the hardest time narrowing them down), plus the song is by my favorite singer EVER, a little Bon Jovi for your listening pleasure.

We are doing a Trash the Dress session with these two in the near future...I can't wait!

New Logo

I went to a workshop and the instructor said that you needed LOVE your logo. I have always LIKED my logo, but have never felt in love with it. I've had and used my first one for a couple of years now and then I had Carlos make the 2nd one and I started switching things over, but I never finished it, probably because I was never really in love with it. BUT... tonight Carlos and I (mostly Carlos) finished a logo that I LOVE, I feel like it is totally ME, probably because it is based on my real life signature. I am just really so excited about it and I can't wait to incorporate it into everything.

And...tomorrow I will have a real blog post up. July was an absolutely CRAZY month! Lots of fun, lots of cool weddings, but now I have to get caught up on everything that got set aside while I was traveling all over the western United States.

Yay! Check out my new logo! Thank you, Carlos! I love it! If anyone needs a logo or a website or anything check out his website (www.visual5.com) or give him a call (909.809.1119)
