I adore these two!  They came to me through a referral from one of my favorite 2010 couples and they are equally as sweet and kind-hearted.  I also love the sweet comments these two post to each other on Facebook.  It makes my heart smile.  They were my first 2012 wedding booked and I am so excited for their wedding next year in Orange County!

Last year, Mandi and I had the honor of joining Jason and Shawna on a their cruise to Bahamas wedding!  We were among their closest friends and family and they went out of their way to make us feel included the whole week.  It was an awesome experience and I’m stoked on the images from their trash the dress and wedding day!

To be married in the Bahamas, you have to be in their waters for 24 hours, so on our first day there we decided to do their trash the dress (Shawna bought a 2nd dress for this!) in Freeport.  They were total troopers in the blazing sun (and then pouring rain).  These two rock and I am pleased to call them friends now!! xo

Sarah originally contacted me for her wedding day photography but I was booked on her date.  She opted to take some photos after her wedding with me instead!  Great idea!  We met down at Shelter Island where close to where they got married last year for some fun photos! Sarah and Mike totally rocked it out for the shoot, even with their own entourage there to watch!

Brooklyn turned 14 in February and wanted to get in front of my camera for some modeling photos!  She totally rocked it as a model – I love how each of her outfits really showed her personality.  We hung out in Vista and made some awesome images. 🙂

Her mom Lori and sister Stephanie jumped in for a few photos!  Couldn’t they be in a band?!

I love this couple and I love that they are becoming parents very soon!  Helena is my very good friend, studio mate and also a fantastic wedding coordinator!   We spent the afternoon chasing the gorgeous sunlight and talking about baby-to-be, Emma!  Love you guys!! xo
