Please stay tuned! {my life}

It’s finally here – MOVING DAY!! I know I haven’t talked about this much on the blog, I’m not really one for advertising big change before they happen. If you’ve contacted me lately to set up a session or book me for your upcoming wedding you probably got a message back saying that I was not available… so really you were one of the first to know. My family and I are moving to Boston for a year! Or rather not even a year, we’re back by June of 2011 so it’s not even a full 11 months. We’ll be back before you know it :)

My husband is going to be completing his master’s degree and as soon as he’s done we’re coming right back to southern California, so don’t you worry! I even have a fabulous wedding or two in the fall back in California so I won’t be gone forever. I will definitely continue to keep the blog updated while we’re gone with all the fall loveliness (can you believe it, we’re going to see a real FALL this year!) and all of the wonderful portrait sessions I have lined up out on the east coast so please do keep stopping by to see what I’m up to. I always love visitors :)

And one more sneak peek because I know I still haven’t shown you all the wonderful images from this wedding. They’re coming soon. As soon as I get my office unpacked in Boston!

Branko & Alison Married! {a Balboa Park wedding}

Branko and Alison were married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Balboa Park. They opted to do a “first look” before the ceremony to make sure that we had plenty of time to take their portraits… and I just love the look on Alison’s face when she saw her groom for the first time all dressed up :)

The last few minutes before a ceremony when a bride is alone with her dad are always some of my favorites. I love to watch their interaction as they prepare to head down the aisle. Maybe becoming a parent has made me a bit sentimental… but I always imagine how emotional it must be for the parents giving their children away (sniff sniff). I am pretty sure I’ll be a basket case when my kids get married. Lucky for me I have a few dozen years to prepare :)

The first dance. So sweet!

This wedding had some of the most sincere and heartfelt toasts that I have heard in a long time. I love when the bridal party really takes time to think about what the bride and groom mean to them.

The maid of honor’s toast was sweet… but the best man’s speech may have been the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. He was so choked up he was having a hard time getting his words out and had to have his brother the groom come up to stand by his side. Now that is moving!

The father/daughter dance always kills me too. I’m such a softie :)

Branko and Alison congratulations! Your wedding was beautiful! I was so honored to be a part of it.
