Melyssa & Jeff Married!

August 1, 2008 – 7:02 pm

Melyssa and Jeff were married in a gorgeous and heartfelt outdoor ceremony at the Mission Beach Woman’s Club. The wedding was officiated by a close friend, which always makes the ceremony extra special and this one was no exception! It was an absolutely fabulous evening, complete with lots of vegetarian food (what a treat for me!) and an ice cream sundae bar (Oh my goodness, could it get any better?! :) ) and of course, the best part of all… lots and LOTS of dancing. This crowd knows how to kick up their heels! I had so much fun and so much trouble narrowing down my favorites, but here are a few highlights from the day!

I love the next two of Melyssa with her dad… nothing like some father daughter bonding before the big walk down the aisle

After the ceremony we headed out for some portraits… this one just seemed kind of vintage to me so I went with it, isn’t Melyssa’s dress gorgeous?!

If there’s one thing I love at a wedding it’s people having fun and people DANCING! This crowd was on the dance floor all night long and it was such a blast to see everyone having so much fun.

And of course, what’s a wedding blog post without a ring shot? Any guesses of how this one was taken? :)

Melyssa and Jeff had a super fabulous wedding in San Diego at the Mission Bay womens’ club on Saturday. They were such a great couple to work with and it was an absolute dream to photograph them and their whole family. I can’t wait to post more images but for now two of my favorites!

Can you say gorgeous bride?

Kelsey & Mel Married!

July 8, 2008 – 12:15 am

Kelsey and Mel are such a wonderfully sweet couple and they had an absolutely gorgeous (although slightly warm :) ) day for their wedding in Temecula at the Falkner Winery. My favorite type of wedding is hands down the ones where the couple is clearly head over heels for each other and the families are all thrilled to be coming together, which is exactly how this wedding was! I also have to say that it can’t get much better than having a wedding in a gorgeous outdoor location at the “magic hour” when the light is golden and warm… and then having lots of time for fabulous portraits before the wedding. It’s like photographer heaven :) Here are a few of my favorites from the big day!

I have to say that the moment before the ceremony right before the bride’s escort walks her down the aisle has to be one of the most magical times of the whole day! I feel so lucky that I get to capture special moments like these for my brides to remember the excitement they felt just before their big walk down the aisle!

Action Shot!

June 25, 2008 – 2:16 pm

As the photographer at the vast majority of weddings that I attend I’m not really used to seeing myself in photos. At Sunday’s wedding the father of the bride, Dan Mitchell (check out his work here) just happened to be quite a talented photographer himself and he managed to sneak in a couple of shots of me and my lovely husband (aka second shooter) in action. Check out the gorgeous surroundings. With a location and lighting like this how could you go wrong?!


Photobucket

And just for fun here’s the shot that I was busy capturing while Dan was taking his shot

Sneak Peek: Kelsey & Mel Wedding

June 23, 2008 – 10:37 pm

On Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of the incredibly sweet Kelsey and Mel. They are such a genuine and loving couple and I had an absolute blast working with them, despite the heat wave sweeping southern California :)

I know how excited my couples always are to see their photos after their session so I thought I’d throw out a little teaser for these two. You are going to love all of your images, but you’re just going to have to wait a few more days to see them ;) For now here are two of my favorites, enjoy!
