Destination Wedding Photographer

Jul 18

Rachel and Matt were married on Saturday July 7th, the busiest wedding day in history! You may recognize them from their engagement session at Hotel Del.

They have a beautiful son named Kaeden. He was such a trooper! He even stayed up way past 10:00! 🙂 They were married at Sycuan Resort, just down the road from the casino.

When I showed up, everyone was getting ready in the same room, and Matt even peeked in when Rachel was putting on her dress. It made the whole day much more relaxed.

Kaeden is so photogenic!Sometimes the best shots just happen

Beautiful family!

And my personal favorite thing ever, a photobooth!

Kiss :-* Albums

I just recieved my latest flush mount album today from Kiss Wedding Books. I couldn’t be happier with the quality and the customer service! I felt like a little kid on Christmas ripping open the well packaged box! And of course the album cover is in green, my favorite color!

Pros: Fast turn around time (fastest in the business, I think!), A++ customer service, no gutter (my #1 priority in albums), quality product!

Cons: Can’t think of any!

Thanks Kevin, Phylicia and everyone else at Kiss! :-*

Elizabeth + Nathan

Elizabeth and Nathan were married in front of a group of their closest friends and family just north of Seaport Village.

It was a beautifuk intimate ceremony, very casual, just the way I like it! I shot Elizabeth’s sisters wedding this past April and was honored that they wanted me to capture a second wedding in their family!

I had already booked an evening wedding for 7-7-07 but fortunatley this wedding was only scheduled to be 2 hours long in the morning! Lots of Nathan’s family traveled from Utah for the event.

The ceremony took place on the lawn of the Embarcadero Marina Park and the reception breakfast at Buster’s.

Thank you to the families for involving me in this important day and treating me like a friend!

Taking their vows:

The kiss! (It was a good one!)

Enjoying the sit down breakfast:

Yummy cake! This big swirls are chunks of white chocolate!

They were good to each other! 🙂

Amalia + Brett

On June 30th, I assisted Jen Harris at a wedding in Rancho Cucamonga. The bride and groom were so sweet, two of the nicest people I have ever met! Their love for each other, God and their families was a reoccuring theme throughout the whole day.

Enjoy the photos, I had a blast taking them!
