Amy & Ken married!

This Saturday I was so excited to help out fellow photographer Kara Frans and join her in Palm Springs to help in documenting the wedding of Amy and Ken at the gorgeous MiraMonte Resort. Amy and Ken were such an beautiful and relaxed couple and all of the details were just stunning. It was such an amazing day all around and I had to really hold myself back to keep the post to a manageable size! I hope you enjoy!

First up the beautiful gown.

Amy was such a relaxed bride and her gown looked absolutely amazing on her.

After their first sight we had just a few moments to capture some portraits on the resort grounds before the ceremony.

To honor the special relationship Amy had with her grandmother she incorporated her rosary into her beautiful bouquet. I love special and personal touches like this!

I have never seen another bride THIS excited about cutting her cake. She must have known how delicious it was going to be!

After the “official” dances the whole crowd started tearing up the dance floor! Including the flower girl.

Congratulations Ken and Amy. Your wedding day was a truly gorgeous and special event and I wish you all the best in the future. I also wanted to say thank you to Kara for inviting me to come along!

Anniversary weekend!

Ben and I are back from our weekend getaway vacation and it was quite nice and relaxing! I didn’t take nearly as many photos as I thought I would, mostly because it was such a low key weekend. Here are just a few…

Hiking in Indian Canyons

Hanging out with our dog Rita (yes she came along for the ride). This photo was shot with my new favorite toy, and anniversary present, my 85mm 1.8. What better way to test it than with some dog portraits :)

And I couldn’t resist posting a shot of this… the coolest card/present ever made. Ben took our wedding photos and made them into an amazingly awesome comic book using InDesign. Such a creative fellow… and I absolutely love my book! Just right for the paper anniversary!

And of course what better way to celebrate than with year old cake and champagne? We saved the top layer of our wedding cake and it tasted surprisingly not old for how long it had been in the freezer. I wouldn’t suggest it on regular occasions but this one time it was kind of fun.

Mostly we just sat around relaxing… but can you blame us when this was the view?

And lastly a couple shots of the wind farms on the was back to LA. I’ve always wanted to stop and take some nice photos of these but I don’t know of anywhere near there that you can pull off the highway. Maybe someday we’ll figure it out but for now a couple of shots I grabbed while we sped by at 80mph :)
