Jon + Crystal wanted to escape the heat of Las Vegas and head to Temecula for a destination wedding among the vines! They are both craft beer lovers as well as yummy wines! A winery wedding is a perfect fit. Crystal did something extra special for Jon’s ring – she handmade it out of a US quarter! How cool is that?! Love these two!

In the beginning of their relationship, Scott lived in Chicago and he and Jennifer did the long distance relationship thing. They spent a ton of time getting to know each other around Scott’s neighborhood. What a perfect choice to shoot their photos in Chicago – we even went to the bar they had their first Chicago date (and promptly got kicked out – haha)!

I’m headed to Italy in the morning to photograph a beautiful wedding at this venue above! Rough life, I know! I’ll be out of the office September 4-24 to travel with my fiance and enjoy Europe! I’ll be checking email while gone but please allow extra response time! Bon Voyage!

It’s always a great feeling when my wedding clients come back a year later for more pictures! Kristen wanted something a bit different and after chatting we decided to play with holi powder! We had a blast taking “normal” photos first and then getting colorful after!

Dianna + Michael traveled all the way from New York for their dream destination wedding in Coronado. I had met them once before when we took their engagement photos so it was great to see them and meet their friends and family! It was a perfect day. Everything went smoothly and they were so excited to marry each other!

Special shout out to Deanna at Loews Coronado for making their wedding day the best day ever! xo
