Melissa Koehler and I had been planning to get together for some time now, but those who know me, know that my life is a little crazy at the moment!

On Thursday, Melissa, Jen and I finally got to sit down at Panera at talk shop. They brought their kiddos along too, Melissa’s son and Jen’s oldest son and I all share the same birthday. Weird!

Melissa and Melissa (M&M):

It was so great to finally meet you! We must hang out again, very soon!

XOXO

I could talk to Lauren and John for hours. In fact, I have on two occasions! They are such a warm, caring couple they really compliment each other perfectly.

Lauren is a photographer, so its always an honor to be chosen to shoot the wedding of another photographer!

I met the two of them downtown San Diego. They wanted a more urban, city feel! I look forward to shooting the wedding on October 13th!

My freshman year of college, I went half way across the country to go to school. I didn’t know a single person, so I was really nervous to meet my roommate. Nikki and I hit it off right away. We grew apart as the year went on, forced in to different social circles. But I feel very lucky now that we have kept in touch all these years and she is still in my life.

Nikki married her college sweetheart, Matt. This past June, they created their own little miracle, Adeline. What an adorable baby! She loved the camera and was so expressive! I can’t wait to shoot her 1 year old photos next June when I get back to Illinois!

I think this may be my favorite shot of the day:

It was so great to see you Nikki, and your wonderful family!

On Wednesday night last week, David Jay and KISS ALBUMS threw an awesome party at Blue 32, in Hermosa Beach. Jen and I went and had the best time!!! Not only did we get to hang out with tons of cool photographers, but I was able to meet some of my photog IDOLS!! It was a blast! Thanks DJ and Kiss for the great party!!

Jen, me and Jasmine Star (love her!)
This was in the foto cabina. It is so awesome and if any brides are interested in having this photo booth at your wedding, let me know.
Jen, David Baxter (another San Diego photog and all around nice guy) and devilish me!
Ok, this photo just cracks me up. While we were waiting for the limos, Jen and I took a ton of fun awesome photos of each other. I think I will save them all for another post, but I had to share this one. Its my new favorite pic of me!

Wow, what an amazingly beautiful wedding! Alison and Rob were married on August 16, 2007 (a Thursday!) at the Grand Tradition in my hometown of Fallbrook, CA.

It was a warm day, but nothing could wipe the smiles off of Rob and Alison’s faces.

Zipping Alison up!

I love this one. My favorite of the day

Thank you to Alison, Rob and their lovely families. Jen and I had a great time at the wedding!
