Southern Weddings Magazine – Looky Looky!

My phone was off the whole cruise! I swear, it was!  I turned it back on Monday morning, open my inbox and the very first email I read is one from Southern Weddings Magazine with the spread below in it.  At first, I questioned why they were sending me this until I opened the spread to see my photo was published!  And surrounded by some really inspiring photographers too!  Let’s just say this news made my month!  🙂

Here is the cover to the issue – go find it in stores November 11th!  (Cover photo shot by the amazing Jeremy Cowart)

Mike and Rachel – St. Patrick’s and Marine Memorial Club – San Francisco Wedding

I can’t even remember the last time I had been to San Francisco!  Definitely not in this decade.  So of course I was excited to shoot the wedding of Mike and Rachel downtown San Francisco!

The morning started at the Marine Memorial Club, which is also where the reception was held.

David and Candice – NTC Chapel and Oceanview Room Wedding

Candice and David have been so patient waiting for their blog! 🙂

They were married on a beautiful (read = warm) October day at NTC Chapel (next to Cerimone!) and ending at the Oceanview Room on the Pt Loma Sub Base down the road.

The dynamic duo of Julie and Mick made sure the day (and night) ran so smoothly – while Norma from NR3 provided great company and some laughs!

Candice chose to get ready alone (at her parents house) that morning which was extremely stress-free!

I snuck underneath the dress with her…never had that angle before 🙂
