Elmira and Mark

On Sept 23 I headed down to Long Beach to shoot Elmira and Mark's special day. It was a beautiful day, and a gorgeous couple awaited me. Elmira is so hard to get bad photos of because she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside (yes I am sucking up). Elmira has such a sweet side and so does Mark, these guys go hand and hand together. They have been dating for 11 years so I think everyone was overjoyed for this couple.

I got to work with a great makeup artist named Joyce Luck, she was great! I loved all the girls looks and there were quite a few of them! The Marriott had some fun lighting to work with during the reception. You know how I like fun!! One of these is of the videographer I just thought it was cool, let me know your thoughts!!!!!! In other words feel free to comment unless of course you hate everything, then remember what momma always says (don't say anything..., ring a bell?). Ok I just destroyed the English language in that one sentence so I will stop...heehee.

Marissa and Rich

On Sept 23 Rachel (my associate photographer) went to San Juan Capistrano to get photograph this wild and loving couple. Rachel said she had a blast photographing this couple because they were willing to try new things. Got to love all of the detail shots!! Everything came out so great guys, I am sorry I had to miss it.

Engagements R Us

So I have done quite a few engagements lately but I have been lazy so I haven't been posting them. I thought since it is a slow Sept I would post them for you to see. Most of these sessions were done in August!

I did the Dietz's family photos this weekend at the beach. It has been a while since I have done a family portrait session so I hope I wasn't to rusty. I also had my friend do our family photos, so I will put that up in a day or two when I get the photos back! You will finially get to see how cute my kids are, like there was any doubt!

Kristy and Josh Sept 3, 2006

Kristy and Josh come to us from Washington DC. Kristy grew up here and wanted to share her nuptials with her family. It was so great to see so many people from all over the United States to share her day with her. Kristy is a natural in front of the camera with her big blue eyes. Kristy and Josh had such a beautiful wedding thanks to a lot of help from Kristy's family. They were married at Casa Romantica in San Clemente, an absolutely gorgeous location!
