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.
It’s so fun when I get to 2nd shoot for Mandi! We always have fun working together. Leanne & Travis were married on a warm Ramona afternoon at one of my favorite venues! We got most of the photos done prior to the ceremony so they could join their guests earlier! I adored their travel theme – Bethel even included some travel stories in their ceremony! Brenda did an amazing job with the details, each table was a different place they have traveled! You can see more details from the day on her blog!
I loved their first look, they were so excited to see each other!

I still get giddy every time I see these! Having them up on your site is much easier than carrying around our photo album, too. =)
Magical! Your story telling photography takes my breath away. I hope you don’t mind, but I pinned a few of your photos to my pinterest. You are such an inspiration to me. <3
LOVE these! What an amazing venue!
