Lauren & Scott

Lauren and Scott are such an amazing couple and they had one of those weddings where you just felt blessed to be a part of. I shot this wedding with my good friend Kim of Kim Porter Photography. She is a great photographer and I was so happy to have her with me!
Lauren and Scott were married at Our Lady of the Grace and their reception followed at The Handlery Hotel.

Natalia and Scott

Natalia and Scott had a small, intimate wedding at Church of St. Vincent de Paul followed by a reception at the Boat House in Coronado. Natalia and Scott are in Argentina now celebrating their marriage with a 2nd ceremony! Natalia's family lives there and the 2nd ceremony will take place on her father's property.

Tiffany & Desmond ~ Wedding

Tiffany and Desmond were married at the Immaculata on the USD campus. The church is stunning and always photographs so well. Tiffany and Desmond both had such loving families. Everyone had a blast at the reception.

Kim & Oren

Kim and Oren were married at the Hyatt in downtown San Diego. They had a traditional Jewish ceremony (which I love!) including the ketubah, tish & bedeken, chupah, and yichud. We took photos all around the Hyatt property as well Seaport Village.

The kosher reception followed in the Hyatt ballroom. The band rocked and the hora went on for a really long time. Fun was had by all. :)

Nina & Manny

Nina and Manny aren't getting married until next February but we got an early start on their engagement session since they want to use the photos for their save-the-date card. It was sort of a half engagement, half family session since Manny brought his adorable kids along to share in the photo fun. I don't do a ton of family photo shoots. I stick mostly to weddings, but a family this affectionate made my job very easy.

Mick & Julie's Customer Appreciation Party

I just wanted to thank Mick and Julie for having me at their Customer Appreciation party last week. Quite a few of my clients were there so it was a great opportunity to catch up! I also got to hang with some of my favorite vendors. You know who you are!

Melissa and Alan

Mick and Julie came up with a brilliant idea last year, to give back to an active military couple who could not, due to many circumstances, have a wedding of their dreams. They hosted a contest to find the perfect couple and Melissa and Alan won! Mick and Julie asked me to volunteer my photography for the wedding and reception and of course I agreed. It was an amazing day and Melissa and Alan were all smiles.

The wedding took place at St. Francis Chapel in Balboa Park. We walked all over the park to take pictures. Melissa and Alan were up for anything and we had a lot of fun! The reception was at The San Diego Art Institute.

RaNae and Evan

RaNae and Evan had a fun and intimate wedding at La Jolla Women's club. Before the wedding RaNae and Evan had a first sighting at The Grand Colonial where RaNae got ready for the day. After they saw each other for the first time and spent a quiet moment alone, then they hopped into their 1956 Bentley and we drove around La Jolla for some photos.

Below are some of my favorite spreads from their finished flushmount album.

Kelly and Brent

Kelly and Brent were married in Old Town at one of my favorite churches in San Diego, The Immaculate Conception. Following the ceremony the newlyweds took a limo to their reception at the Coronado Golf Club. Kelly and Brent were one of my favorite couples of the year. I had a blast shooting their wedding along side Heather Elise, of Heather Elise Photography.

The wedding was coordinated by Sarah Noland of Smack Designs and all the linens were specifically designed for Kelly by Irene Gonzales from A Perfect Table.
