Everything about this wedding was fun. And different than any wedding I’ve ever photographed. Lauren & Jason have been together since high school and wanted to make it “official” surrounded by the most important people in their lives. Their families. So on a Tuesday afternoon in December, Tony and I met up with Jason & […]

There are some people you just click with. Jennifer & Orlando were two of those people for me. From the moment I talked with Jenny on the phone I knew I would like them. And I was right! These two are some of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. Every interaction with them […]

Julie and I have known each other for a REALLY long time. Like almost another lifetime long time. I met her when we were both singing in choir about 15 years ago. Woah! My first trip to New York in 2001 was with her. We had many conversations about online dating and who we might […]

Lauren & Bryan met at the very beginning of their freshman year in college in San Diego. They were friends immediately and were so obviously meant to be together forever. It didn’t take Bryan long to know she was the one he would eventually marry. He decided to take Lauren to Hearst Castle every year […]

Man!  Sometimes I forget what a great job I have.  This wedding was an excellent reminder.  I love Mandy and Travis.  They are such sweet people and gorgeous to boot, making my job even easier! The two of them got married at Los Willows Estate.  This was my first time there and it was really […]

Just a couple of weeks before their big day, I got an email from Nicola.  She told me that she and Jon were planning on having a small ceremony in a park in Dana Point.  Her parents and brother were going to be in town from Scotland so they thought the timing was perfect for […]

  You know how there are some people who you just fall in love with?  The more time you spend with them, the deeper they creep into you heart.  Well Sam & Laura and their families are those people. I totally connected with them the first time I met with them.  Sam & Laura are […]

Choosing vendors for my wedding was about as easy as it could possibly be.  I’ve worked with so many great people in the wedding industry, and Kim Sanders of Art with Nature is one of the best!  I met her at an industry gathering a few years ago…. in the bathroom of all places!  Come […]

Yep…. here’s another post about our wedding!  But we’re getting close to the end.  I promise.   You know my thing for keys, so I got a bunch of old keys off of ebay for our escort cards. When we were picking our songs for the first dance and father/daughter and mother/son dances I felt […]

One of the best parts of planning a wedding is the cake tasting.  I mean you get to go look a photos of pretty cakes, but more importantly, you get to eat cake.  Quite a bit of cake actually.  Or is that just me? Choosing a bakery to make our cakes was a no brainer. […]
