Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Sarah originally contacted me for her wedding day photography but I was booked on her date. She opted to take some photos after her wedding with me instead! Great idea! We met down at Shelter Island where close to where they got married last year for some fun photos! Sarah and Mike totally rocked it out for the shoot, even with their own entourage there to watch!
These two lovebirds tied the knot this past weekend and I cannot wait to show you what Mandi and I captured! But since I’m behind on blogging you get to see their engagement session with Mandi first! These two had a fun shoot around their home in Poway and incorporated a few of their favorite things – homebrewing, their animals and matching his and hers Prius’ (what is the plural of Prius…Priui?)
Brooklyn turned 14 in February and wanted to get in front of my camera for some modeling photos! She totally rocked it as a model – I love how each of her outfits really showed her personality. We hung out in Vista and made some awesome images. 
Her mom Lori and sister Stephanie jumped in for a few photos! Couldn’t they be in a band?!
Some of my friends are putting on the first Wedding Wise bridal show THIS SUNDAY! I do not have a booth but I will be stopping by to show my support to my fellow vendors! I’ve been given 4 VIP tickets to share with some lucky brides!! Send me a message with “Wedding Wise” in the subject line and the first four brides to write me get a free ticket plus a little extra surprise from the show!!
Good luck!!
Melissa and I got to know each other when we lived across the hall in our sorority house! I was always intrigued by her obsession with Eminem. His music even made an appearance or two at the wedding! Tom and Melissa’s wedding day was cold and windy! So windy that we had to take shelter a few times during their first look. But just after seeing each other the wind died down and the sun came out. It was absolutely perfect!
