Sneak Peek: Sarah & Eli {Engaged!}

July 12, 2009 – 9:29 pm

Well I’m back in town… did you miss me :)

I had an amazing week with my sister and her wedding was FABULOUS.  I can’t wait to show you some pictures but there are approximately 200 million of them and it might take me a while to sort through all of them. In the meantime I have so much to post to get you all caught up on what I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. First up is an engagement session that I shot in Carlsbad for Sarah and Eli. They are getting married this summer and I can’t wait for their wedding, they are such a blast to work with! More images will be coming very soon but for now here’s one of my favorites!

Erin & Darrin {Engaged!}

July 10, 2008 – 4:56 pm

I have known Erin for years and years since she is the sister of one of my good friends, and I was SO excited when I found out she was getting married! I was even more excited when I found out that I was going to be able to shoot her wedding for her in April because I know it’s going to be absolutely fabulous! Erin works in the wedding “biz” and has fantastic taste so I know it’s going to be a gorgeous event! Erin and Darrin wanted to take their engagement photos early, before I get super hugely pregnant :) so we met up in downtown Carlsbad (that’s just north of San Diego for you non-local folks) for their session last weekend. We had a great time and they were total naturals in front of the camera! They wanted a couple of photos down by the beach as well so we finished up the afternoon on the sand. These two are so darn cute together that it was hard to pick favorites, but here are a few of the standouts from our time together… enjoy!

The beach was a bit overcast which can lead to less than spectacular sunsets, but we made do with a bit of added lighting. I actually really like how these turned out!

Allison & Mark {Engaged!}

June 20, 2008 – 8:41 pm

Ok so pretty much the same disclaimer has to go with this post as the last one…. be prepared for lots of images, lots of all caps and exclamations, and gratuitous numbers of smiley faces :) Here comes the engagement session that I shot last weekend for my fantabulous little sister Allison and her fiance Mark! I cannot possibly overstate how much my sister means to me, she is one of my absolute bestest of friends, she knows all of my secrets, and well, I’ve just known her all her life so you can’t get much closer than that :) I was so excited to find out that she was getting married (I think I may have scared the other diners in the restaurant where I got the phone call since I was shrieking so much) and I couldn’t be happier that Mark is the lucky guy! We took their engagement photos on a fabulous San Diego afternoon in Balboa Park and had a blast (as long as we stayed in the shade, because man oh man was it hot out!) Hold on to your seats because this is about to be a super long photo post with a super good lookin’ couple :) Are you ready?

Balboa park is so stinkin’ scenic aint it? I LOVE San Diego :)

I like to call this one the super hero shot, it’s totally going on the poster for any future action movies they happen to star in :)

I told you these two were good looking… man I can’t wait to see their kids ;) (just kidding guys, you can wait at least a month or two after the wedding, haha!)

I’m not sure why but this is one of my favorites… I think I like the color of blue with the awesome red dress. If you’re wondering what to wear in an engagement session and you look good in red, it almost always looks fabulous in photographs!

And one last snap on the way back out to the car…. so cute!

Allison and Mark thanks so much for letting me drag you all around the park in the super hot afternoon. I love you guys and I CANNOT WAIT for your wedding (which by the way will be photographed by the super talented Mindy Sonshine and her husband Mike, I can’t wait to see the photos :) ) Allison… you can now officially stop blog stalking, you’re posted!! Now you just have to wait to see the FULL set…. aren’t you dying? :)

Chris & Tara {Engaged!}

June 19, 2008 – 11:14 pm

I have to preface this post by saying that a) if there are a lot of photos, it’s just because I LOVE these two and I couldn’t decide :) and b) If I go overboard with the all caps, smiley faces, and exclamation points, once again it’s because I LOVE these two and I’m so excited that they’re getting married!!

Ok now that that’s out of the way it’s on to the engagement session. It’s not every day that you get to take engagement photos for your big brother, or that your big brother marries one of your best friends, so this was certainly a big day for me! I’ve always looked up to my brother and I certainly want him to have the very best, so talk about a lot of pressure to come up with some great photos! We did their session in the early morning, before the fog cleared out of San Diego county, while the lighting was even and we could run around to our hearts contents outdoors and not worry about those pesky things called shadows :) We started out at a great park Chris scoped out right near Pipes cafe (one of my favorite local Encinitas breakfast spots!) and then later on moved to my alma mater, San Dieguito high school (go Mustangs!) I had so much fun and like I said earlier… I had a super hard time deciding which ones to post! But enough of my chatter… on to the photos!!

One of my favorites… aren’t they SOOO cute?! :)

And then on to San Dieguito for some change of scenery

One of the things I love about Chris is that he’s super funny (just ask him, he’ll tell you he’s hilarious :) ) and I think that Tara would agree. Throughout our whole session he kept making her burst out laughing and I absolutely love all of the shots of her with this huge genuine smile… what a happy couple :) AWWWW

Getting serious with the old school pads hat. Chris is a HUGE baseball fan!

Chris and Tara I’m SOOOO excited (if I haven’t mentioned it already) that the two of you are getting married! I think that you are an absolute perfect match and I can’t wait for your wedding in December. Also a little shout out to my friend and photographer, Stacy Cross (who I’m sure will see these photos very soon!) who will be their wedding photographer! Since Stacy’s in Texas and Chris and Tara are currently residing in NYC it didn’t work out for her to take their engagement photos, but I can’t wait to see what she captures at their wedding and I’m sure she’s going to do an amazing job! If you’re getting married in Austin check her out :)
