So check it out... let me know what you think (unless it's about my crazy hair, or the weird way I talk... I want to pretend I don't see it... I hate looking at myself on video!!!).

Mark and Carlie

November 22, 2010

My last wedding of the year was a fun one! And it just happened to have a gorgeous, quirky, fun couple with lots of personality. LOVE! 

There were so many fun parts of the day, but here are some of my faves:


The First Look!

These are awesome! I love how it looks like there is a colorful heart between the couple in the close up shot (right above the guy's shoe shot).

Me and that Josh guy...

November 15, 2010

10 years ago we met. 5 years ago we got married. This year we did this (and I love Stephanie Ann for making it happen):

We decided to shoot at the windmills because we were driving out to visit family in the desert a lot around the time we decided to get married :) And because I think they're beautiful.

Nathan + Karly

November 5, 2010

Omigosh looking at these photos just puts a smile on my face :) Karly was the amazingly gorgeous bride and Nathan was pretty dashing himself. I have lots of favorites from this wedding so prepare yourself... and don't forget to click on the slideshow at the bottom of the page if you want to see more :)

Have a great weekend!!


They got married at the Waverly Chapel in Santa Ana... next to a graveyard. We couldn't resist taking a few photos there...

They opted to see each other before the ceremony to ease their nerves... and not only was it a sweet moment, but we had SO much time for photos...


After a few photos on the church grounds we headed to Downtown Fullerton for some more urban surroundings... the next 5 are my favorites of the day (I couldn't decide!)


Rings on the turntable? Yes, please.

And I'll end with some party pictures... this was a crazy-fun group!

Luis + Andrea

October 27, 2010

Get ready for one of the brightest smiles ever! Andrea was one ridiculously happy bride and every time she saw Luis she couldn't help but grin at him. 

Here are some of my favorite happy moments from the wedding day... happy Tuesday!


Andrea's babies watching all the commotion... 

I am so jealous of my 2nd shooter's ring shot! Kate, you rule!
