Can I just tell you how much I love this couple? They seemed a little shy when I first met them. But they exuded awesomeness during their engagment session and started opening up just as we were finishing. Kerrianne is so gorgeous – she reminds me of Christie Brinkley in her modeling heyday.  Pair that with Henry’s charming smile and wit and what do you get . . . and excited photographer! I cannot wait for their wedding in August!  I LOVED their engagement session – magic!

Lindsay & Ken {Wedding at the Japanese Friendship Garden}

When my dear friends, Ken and Lindsay asked me to photograph their wedding, I couldn’t be more honored!  Ken and I used to work together in the biotech industry, and ever since we’ve become good friends over the years.  Gorgeous Lindsay waltzed into his life one day, and just lit up the place wherever he was.  She is also so wonderful with Ken’s beautiful daughter Athena.  We knew they were perfect for each other!

Their wedding was perfect.  The amount of personalization that went into planning really made their day wonderfully intimate.  I was excited about every detail of their wedding: Lindsay’s Vera Wang dress, the gorgeous flowers by Jennifer Cole Florals, the amazing cake by Sweet Cheeks, and the fantastic venues.  After they fed each other cake, Lindsay gushed about how wonderful it tasted and asked me if I wanted to taste.  Um, yes!   How often do the bride and groom feed their photographer cake?  score for me! haha!

I must admit though – I am incredibly jealous of their honeymoon trip.  They will be traveling through Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Bali!

Congratulations, my friends!  I wish you a fantastic journey together through life together.

A big thank you to all the vendors who made this wonderful day possible and as gorgeous as ever!

Love Throughout Life {San Diego Weddings}

Can we talk about love for a minute?

This extended family is near and dear to my heart, and I’m so glad that they called me the night before these two lovebirds got hitched!  This lovely gentleman lost his first wife not too long ago and I felt honored that I was able to photograph her a few years before she passed on.  A lovely couple who were responsible for a fantastic family!  Little did I know that Paul had another beautiful woman waltz into his life at just the right time!

Sandy and Paul had a civil wedding with some of their closest family members and I was honored to be there celebrating right along side them.  Look how amazingly happy and in love they are in these photos.  They required less direction with posing and looking naturally in love than a lot of couples I’ve worked with!  Congratulations Sandy and Paul on your new life together!

San Diego Snowstorm! {Family Portraits San Diego}

Sawyer is my little buddy featured below.  He watched me as I set up the studio in their kitchen while everyone was busy getting ready, and asked me quite a few intelligent questions – especially for a 4-year-old!  We had a nice little chat!  Apparently this little guy is usually quite shy when he first meets someone, so to be that talkative in a matter of minutes was new to the rest of the family!  I’m glad he was that comfortable around me since I was able to capture some fun expressions during his solo!

For this holiday photo session we created our very own snowstorm right here in San Diego! Suzanne had the inspiration for the gray background with the family playing in the snow, complete with winter gear – so cute! I came prepared with my studio gear, which I rarely get to use for family sessions anymore. I love to do custom sessions, especially when they turn out this fantastic in the end!
