A sweet sweet love centered around the love of Christ. Jess and Kyle were married in San Marcos surrounded by their family and friends. It was a perfect day at a beautiful venue where everything was within walking distance. Look at that light, too! Enjoy!

Affedia: San Diego Sweet 16 Birthday

A SWEET 16 TO REMEMBER

Who remembers turning 16 and it being the best birthday ever?! I do! 16 was a big deal then 21 for some people (not for me) then 25 for some (kind of for me) then 30! I'll always remember my 16th birthday and how special it was. I'm sure Affedia will remember this day for years to come because it was spectacular!! She had a photo booth, a gorgeous cake, lots of friends including her own court and choreographed dance. Enjoy!

Mike + Severina: Palm Springs Babymoon Maternity

A PALM SPRINGS BABYMOON

Mike and Severina live in Washington DC, but decided to come to California for their baby moon. I was so excited when they contacted me about doing a maternity shoot, even though it was a bit earlier than a typical maternity shoot. Severina was only about 24 weeks along and still so tiny, but she wore dresses that showed off the bump. We focused primarily on black and white images at the Ritz Rancho Mirage. Enjoy!

Ali + Terrie: Vintage Rose Wedding

AN ORANGE COUNTY DANCE PARTY

second shot for Heidi Bolles

The day was all about these two and everyone knew it. They didn't have a wedding party, but they did have a party full of their dearest and closest friends. Guests can make or break a wedding, but hot dang their guests made their wedding! It was a total dance party and everyone was so happy, talkative and ready to celebrate these two. 

I second shot this wedding for Heidi Bolles. As a second shooter, you're typically there to make sure all details and cocktail hour are covered, sometimes groom prep if the getting ready times overlap. My main job was to cover details, which you'll see loads of throughout this blog post. I also made sure to get the groom greeting all of his guests as well as cocktail hour - people mingling and gathering groups together.

Enjoy!
