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.
To say last Saturday was hot would be an understatement. It was scorching! 101 degrees in Pt Loma is what I heard.
And what else to go with some hot weather than some H.O.T. shoes from L.A.M.B.
Carina, the bride is a MAC makeup artist so she had her friend Heidi there for her on the day of! Heidi also made Carina’s fabulous veil!
Heidi also did everyone’s hair! Meet Aparri, she is Carinas adorable daughter 🙂
At their first look at Island Palms hotel
This has such a vintage feel to it 🙂
These two were great even though they were literally melting at NTC Liberty Station
Carina’s best friend/Maid of honor also did all of the amazing florals, coordinated the day and helped plan the entire thing! Kristine is a rock star!
Beautiful 🙂
A peek of their ceremony at the NTC Chapel
I love this shot that my assistant Aaron took so much!
After the ceremony, we headed to the MCRD Bay View Room on base.
Because we did all the photos before, David and Carina were able to enjoy the cocktail hour with all the guests!
Aparri interrupted their first dance, it was so cute.
Carina and her dad
David and his mother
Remember rockstar Kristine I mentioned earlier? This is her with Aparri! 🙂

Hope you two are enjoying some alone time in Kauai! Thanks for being such great sports and trusting in me on your big day!
