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.
Well, wedding season is offically under way! My first wedding of the year was last Saturday. The bride and groom are very private people so I agreed to not post photos of them or their guests.
But I will share with you some of the details of the day! The weather was perfect, the church was so pretty and the bride and groom were not nervous at all!
I got to see Dylon for the first time ever yesterday! Parents are Mark’s cousins Bryon and Adrian. You might remember Adrian from this blog when I took her maternity photos.
Dylon was sleeping when I got there yesterday, so I just held him for awhile. He woke up and started fussing…he felt a ton better after he spit up on me!! haha
Here are a few shots I snapped of him at 2.5 weeks old! Stay tuned for his one month photos soon!
I met the Berg family at La Jolla Cove to shoot some fun candids and portraits of their family. Little Madisyn was so good, and adorable on top of that!
Thanks to Sommer for the referral!
I had such a fun day with you guys, thanks!
But I’m back in action. I had a wedding Saturday and 3 photoshoots on Sunday. I’ll post one a day to get back in my groove!
First, a few from my shoot of Michele and Paul. Michele is actually my mentor. I have learned so much from her in the past year that I have known her. It was an honor that she asked me to shoot some photos of her and her new honey (what a cutie!) Paul.
Down in La Jolla…
Sheri and I have known each other for over 20 years! Wow! I can definitly say she is my oldest friend! We found each other on Myspace back in October – one week before her wedding to Patrick.
Bummer for me, she already had a wedding photographer! I wanted to do something special for her, so I offered to do a “day after” session for her. These are also known as Trash the Dress sessions but I didn’t make her ruin her dress for the shoot! 🙂
Since it was actually a few months after session, she brought one of her bridesmaids, Janna. Janna was so kind to do Sheri’s hair and makeup a second time!
Sheri and Janna, Thank you so much for doing this! You were both awesome models and not once was there a complaint! You two are terrific!
We all met at Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula. My good friend Gina is an event planner at Wilson Creek, so she let us in to the Bridal Room there. Contact Gina (gina@wilsoncreekwinery.com) if you are interested in having your wedding at the Winery!
We started in the Bridal room, getting Sheri zipped up! I brought along a few people with me this time, since I am not supposed to be on my ankle much! (Yay for pain meds!) Jen, Brittney and Janelle came with me to get their own perspectives!
Aren’t these eyes amazing??
