I have been dying to blog about this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our own Jacob Willis got married last month in Fresno. Eder and I had the distinct pleasure and honor of being the ones to shoot with them on their incredibly awesome wedding day. From top to bottom, start to finish, every detail was beautiful and fitted their personalities and styles perfectly. Since they are photographers, I knew I had to deliver the goods. We brought some lights for extra radicalness too…I do have to admit that their ceremony was the most emotional one I’ve ever shot. I will blame it on the music but, I almost lost it in the middle of the ceremony several times. The home where they had their reception was incredible and a really fun environment. The day after the wedding, we took a drive to Yosemite for a day-after session with them and BLEW.IT.UP! Love you guys!

The Crosson family came to us for some family portraits and knew we could deliver something a little fun and different for them. I had a GREAT time shooting with all of them – such a smart and fun family! The whole family was not only beautiful but well-traveled and very talented; one daughter working in London, the other a chef at The Lodge at Torrey Pines. We timed everything well and I hit up a couple of my favorite spots downtown with them. Thanks guys for a great time and an amazing shoot!

When I first saw Becca the morning of their wedding, I would have never guessed she was super sick. Her eyes were still full of energy and excitement and she was as fresh as..well, something really really fresh. The only clue was the constant intake of Emergen-C that her bridesmaids kept supplying.
Becca and Matt are from Minnesota and convinced a lot of Minnesotans to join them here in San Diego for the weekend – I must admit I haven’t heard that many people with that particular accent all gathered in one place before
Due to their super sweet personalities and easy-goingness, I had a great time shooting with Becca and Matt and we made sure to take advantage of all the classic Balboa Park architecture so that their friends from out of town would be jealous when they saw their pictures. jk. But we did have a great time!
The ceremony was held behind the Prado and the reception was in the Loggia room. Bob of Artistic Productions was on hand to provide his ever-so-stellar DJ skills – some great toasts, dinner and dancing ensued…another great day at “the park”.

Kelly and Chris packed it all up last week…After living for awhile in lovely San Diego, life is taking them onward to new and exciting adventures…not in San Diego. But before they left, their friends (and ours) The Murdocks and the Hughes decided to hire us to send them on their way with some radi-cool images from San Diego that they can show off to all the people in Georgia who have never seen how great this place is.

My First 2010 wedding…What a way to kick off the year!!! Jessica and Matt hail from Georgia and although they live in San Diego now, most of their guests didn’t have to travel very far.
As it was my first time in Athens, there was a lot to see and learn about the town and the area. My first impressions are that it is a young college town that thrives on its young students energy. It was great – cheap delicious food, tons of fun and $1 PBR’s on tap!
The weekend started with a brunch for the ladies and a really cool rehearsal dinner – on the wedding day, the groomsmen started it off right with a little paintball in the morning and as the rain started to come down, the preparations began. The ceremony was on the UGA campus which was a great backdrop for the day. The ladies got ready at a historic house right near the Chapel and all of the great details including the bouquets, black dresses and antique furniture looked great in the soft rainy day light.
After a very personal and touching ceremony, we headed through the 40 degree weather (including rain) to some really fun spots on the way to the Georgian – another classic building where the reception took place. The dinner and dancing was a ton of fun for the guests and the evening finished with Jessica and Matt dashing through a tunnel of umbrellas to their limo – Their honeymoon in Bora Bora and Tahiti greeted them with slightly better weather conditions…

see the raindrops?

Eder and I had the pleasure of photographing Susan and David’s wedding last weekend at the Lodge at Torrey Pines.  It was a gorgeous day that carried a lot of significance.  Three weeks prior, Susan and David had been in a serious car accident, and both had suffered serious injuries like broken hips and legs and such.  For awhile, I wasn’t even sure if the wedding was still going to happen ….

In the end, it couldn’t have turned out more beautiful.  Susan recovered enough to be able to move around in a walker and wheelchair, and David was hobbling around in a walking cast.  The ceremony was extremely emotional and touching; I couldn’t help but shed a tear or two.  I left that day very thankful, which is fitting for this week.  Thankful that I have a job that can touch me as much as it does.  Thankful that I was able to be around Susan and David on their wedding day, as they showed a tremendous amount of courage and joy.

Like I said, I’ll post more on the whole day later, but I thought I’d share the video that Joe Park put together, and the blog post (click HERE) their coordinator Liz Beck posted.  Both are also very touching!

This detail brings me back to the cake yet again…but what a great place to show your personality and being the fun loving couple that Kristen and Matthew are they did a Ding Dong Cake. Decorated with beautiful yellow flowers to match their spring wedding it was the perfect detail to compliment them and their day!

The restaurant was clean, the staff was very friendly, we received our food quickly (which as you all are aware is important to us), and everything tasted fresh and delicious.

I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich which came with a honey bbq sauce however I opted to use the Polynesian sauce Bronson had with his chicken tenders instead and it was excellent.

As usual Bronson had another fun portrait session after lunch.

And I made another celeb magazine cover…darn paparazzi they are everywhere!
