Last month I had the pleasure of assisting the lovely Kimberlee West at a wedding in Orange County.  

The day was beautiful, the bride was even more gorgeous and it all went smooth!  Well, except for the ring bearer pulling the fire alarm minutes before the ceremony was to start!  The bride laughed and thought it was on purpose!  I mean, the groom is a fireman after all, it would be too perfect!  But it was a coincidence and the church ladies were able to call off the fire dept. before they arrived!

The stunning Leah!

A fun shot of Kimmee in action!   Check out her blog to see more photos from the day! 

The culprits 😉

Calm and ready.

Leah surprised Dustin with recording a song of her singing as she walked down the aisle.  I don’t think I spotted a dry eye in the house!

After the ceremony, we ran off to The Montage Resort. It was my first time there and I hope not my last!  

Not quite sure what it is about this image, but its my favorite of the day!

Leah was a laugher!  The best kind of bride ;0)

Y-M-C-A!

Thank you for bringing me along Kimmee, I had such a blast with you!

Here is another that I second shot for Nic at Tamarack Studios and never blogged!

It was fun to shoot this wedding last Fall because I got to see an OVV wedding in action, before my own!

Margaret and Dan chose to see each other before hand.  Such a great idea!

This ring bearer was so adorable!

Love this candid moment

This is what OVV looks like without a tent like I had! 🙂

Nic at work!

Moments after…

Enjoy some rare alone time!

Thanks again for having me along Nic, its always a pleasure!

Things are pretty quiet on the wedding front around here!  I don’t have another wedding until March 21st so I plan on catching up on some blogging in the next few weeks!  I have a handful of weddings I have 2nd shot at for some good friends.

The first was from last September.  My good friend Nic at Tamarack Studios brought me along to shoot at Loren and Joe’s gorgeous wedding at Pala Mesa Resort.  Pala Mesa is one of my most favorite venues to shoot at, it’s so beautiful!

Please check out Nic’s blog from the same event!

The lovely bride getting her makeup on!

I tried to catch Nic in action, but he is too quick, he spotted me first!

Joe and Loren opted to see each other first which made the day so much more relaxed!

I love the details Loren added to her bouquet…

and her dress!

Larry Samuels is an awesome bagpiper, what a great addition to a wedding!

Got some new competition out there now…

Woza!  Look at that awesome cake!  

Thanks to Nic for having me along, its always a pleasure!

This past Saturday my friend Carrie got married in the same location that Tim and I tied the knot last month!  She helped out a ton at my wedding so I returned the favor and helped the fabulous Brenda Swann with the setup and breakdown of Carrie’s wedding.  I brought my camera along, of course!

Malgorzata Czarny was Carrie’s wedding photographer, I was only there as a helper/guest/wedding crasher!  🙂

I love all the details Carrie envisioned.  It all worked so well together.

The beautiful Carrie!

I bet this place looks familiar to alot of you! 🙂

So last weekend it poured. It hailed.  It didn’t stop.  Except for the 40-ish minutes Carrie needed for her ceremony!  The skies were amazing blue and sunny!  It was amazing since it literally was hailing in North County!

We now pronounce you man and wife!

A little quiet time…this is when the rain started! 

They had Soup Plantation for dinner!  It was delish!

Love this shot of their first dance.

A couple of my girlfriends getting freaky on the dance floor!

This shot is similar to one that my photographer took and I loved it!  🙂

Carrie, thank you for letting me be part of your special day!  You and Chris have so much love for each other it just radiates out of you.  Have a blast in Hawaii!!!
