Today I met Christina Werner who is the owner of BB Weddings and Events, a wedding coordination company.  We actually have a mutual family friend in Northern California who got us in touch!

We had a nice long lunch at Oggi’s  chatting about – what else – weddings!  It’s what we know best!  Christina has been in Southern Cali since 1998 and keeps plenty busy with many awesome couples in San Diego (and even some destination weddings)!   ps She is fluent in Spanish – how cool is that??!!

If you are a bride and want some of her expertise, check out her website, pronto!  She is a total sweetheart and definitly knows her stuff!  Trust me, I grilled her with questions for my own wedding!  ha ha

It was so great finally meeting with you Christina! Glad we got to meet up and chat!

XOXO, M

Last night, a group of 10 of us met in Little Italy for a little photo fun!  We met at the Princess Pub to get a drink.  After, we wandered the streets looking for any nook and cranny.  We shot until after 9pm and then headed to Nimmo’s for a late dinner!

Here is the group (minus Kimi).  The guy in front with his killer camera was not part of our group…he just walked by and wanted in on the action!

L-R: Susan, me, Julia, Jamie, Tim, Disposable camera guy, MA5EN, Emily, David and Aaron:

The beautiful Jamie 🙂

This may be my favorite shot of the night.  Plus David let me borrow his 24mm 1.4 for the night. Mmmmmmm.

In the words of Bobbi: Work it Out!

Fierce, Emily, fierce!  I keep telling her she should go on America’s Next Top Model.  She would rock it:

Susan is always a willing model! She even did some jumping for us 🙂

One last shot of Emily. Love that video light. Off to order mine very soon…

I always love hanging out with my photo buddies!  Laughing is guaranteed in this group!

I appreciate each one of you, thanks for coming out to play!

xoxo, M

Last Friday a group of 17 photographers (and 1 dog) got together for a little networking, a smidgen of posing and a lot of laughs. 

We met at Balboa Trails in San Diego with the plan to take new headshots of everyone there!  We had so much fun, and I am currently planning our next outing!  If you are a photographer and want in on the fun, leave me a comment or send me an email (melissa@melissamcclure.com)!

Hang on, this is going to be a long post!

Here is most of the group:
