Chris & Katelyn: Married!

Hot bride alert! I was just dying over how awesome Katelyn's dress was!! Chris and Katelyn were married at Inspiration Point in Corona Del Mar. It was such a beautiful setting! And the perfect day, that marine layer stuck around long enough to for us to get some awesome shots. We has a little adventure too, we went around the side of a cliff to get some shots and while we were there the tide came in just enough to make it very scary to get back. I was wet up past my knees in my dress pants and holding up my camera and bag, praying with all my heart that I would make it back to the shore. Hahaha. That was an adventure.

You definitely don't want to miss their slideshow at the end of the favorites.





Just after their ceremony:





The scary walk through the tide was worth it...

Thad and Lisa: Married!

A Knott's Berry Farm wedding! How fun is that?! Thad and Lisa are from the Seattle area and had one of their first dates at Knott's, so they decided that they would make it official at the same place. I had such a blast celebrating, not only the 4th of July, but their wedding with them! They even had Snoopy, Charlie Brown and Lucy in their wedding party, so fun. It was definitely a new experience directing cartoon characters for pictures.

Here are some of my favorites.














HERE is their fun slideshow.

Shailendra and Bindi: Married!

I had the opportunity to shoot Shailendra and Bindi's wedding celebration at the absolutely beautiful Rancho Bernardo Inn a few weeks ago. They were married a year ago in Indian and this was the big party here in the U.S. If you have never been to an Indian wedding then you are missing out!! Everything is so amazing! So much color and fun. I had a blast with these two and all 500 of the family and friends. Yes, 500, this is definitely the biggest wedding I have photographed. Their reception was amazing, the dance performance were out of this world!!! So great! Check out some of my favs and don't forget their slideshow at the end.

Tito and Nami: Engaged!

I'm back! Yes, it has been a long time since I've posted. Two weeks ago we packed up and moved from Redlands to Costa Mesa. We are so excited! We love our new apartment and I have tripled my office space, so nice. I love Costa Mesa and being so close to the beach. I think I forgot how much I loathe moving though. It is a pain, plus we were without internet for A WEEK! I really thought that I might die, just today did everything start coming together and looking like a real home, thanks Ikea!

Then last week my entire family came from all over and we all coverged on Newport Beach for a fun-filled family vacation. We have been staying at the same beach house since the early 70's (before I was born), but we haven't gone for the past couple of years because most of my fam doesn't live in California anymore, but this year (after much hard work, mostly on my parents' part) we planned a family reunion and everyone was able to come. So much fun!!!! Do you know how long it has been since I took a week off (I did do a little work, but mostly I just played). It was definitely needed. My family left today, I was pretty sad about the whole thing, I miss everyone being close. But that meant it was time to get back to work.

I did Tito a Nami's engagements a few weeks back. They were actually married back in March, but are making it really official in August. For their engagement session we headed down to Laguna Beach. They are such a cute, affectionate couple, made my job super easy. They were up for anything and I LOVE that. In the beach pictures they were all dressed up, but weren't afraid at all of getting wet and that made for awesome pictures. Check out some of my favs.
