Marlene and Jeff – Balboa Park Engagement Photographer

I’d love to say that I planned this out, but I have to admit, its purely coincidental…today is Marlene’s birthday!  Here is my birthday present to you my dear!! <3

Marlene booked me last year…for her 2011 wedding!  Talk about planning ahead!  This was my first time meeting Jeff because he is gone a large amount of time, serving our Country. Thank you for that Jeff!

They are so sweet together!  You can just see the love when they look at each other!

So great hanging out with you two and looking forward to your July wedding next year!!

Ben and Leslie – Alcazar Garden and the US Grant Hotel Wedding Photographer

Mandi and I joined Ben and Leslie at their beautiful and intimate Father’s Day wedding in San Diego.    While Mandi was hanging with the men, I got to spend the morning with Leslie and her Maid of Honor, Michelle, at the US Grant Hotel.

This stunning bouquet was done by Sally with Exquisite Blooms!

The handsome groom 🙂

The gorgeous bride! You know I’m partial to birdcage veils 😉

The ceremony was held inside Alcazar Garden’s at Balboa Park

Love this shot of Leslie and her son D’Anthony

Meow!

They had the most awesome 1927’s vintage car by Haynes Chauffeuring

They have this adorable inside joke having to do with monkeys, so they were portrayed throughout the day 🙂 Yummy cupcakes by Sweet Cheeks Bakery!

Leslie and Ben were very tidy with their cupcakes while feeding each other…D’Anthony decided to have a little more fun with his!

Shout out to Brenda with Swann Soirees for making the day run so smoothly as usual!

Leslie and Ben, thank you so much for including us in your day!  You were so awesome to work with, I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Erin and Jerry – Chicago Engagement Photographer

I have SO many weddings to blog, I’m about a month and a half behind! Cannot wait to share them all with you, but the blog is 2nd priority. The first being, delivering images to the client! So I promise some more wedding goodness very soon!

In the meantime, I wanted to get these up on the blog before this weekend…since these two are tying the knot on Sunday in Milwaukee!

Erin is my sorority sister from Bradley and Jerry was in the same year as me as well!  They have such a fun time together, always laughing.

Aw man, Chicago has some beautiful light! Can you believe there were crazy Thunderstorms all weekend before this??

My fav <3

Gotta love a great skyline shot!


Yay!  Cannot wait for the super fun party…I mean wedding on Sunday!
