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.
I had the pleasure to shoot a 50th Anniversary open house on Sunday June 24th. The lovely couple is my Aunt Rhonda’s (married to my mom’s brother, Dave) parents. Whew, did you follow that?
Rhonda and her family did a fantastic job decorating and setting everything up! Their last name is Shell, so the theme of shells was carried through every small detail.
Cake is from Gloria’s Bakery in Escondido. The cake was so yummy, I’m going to start referring brides to this bakery!
Beta fish were on every table!
Personalized M&Ms – what a great detail!
They had a display of their wedding, including her dress, her going away after the wedding dress, guest book, cards and photos!
My aunt Rhonda and Uncle Dave:
The happy couple feeding each other cake!
Thanks to the Shell extended family for treating me as your own. I had such a fun time and was so happy to be part of the festivities!
