We just got back from Austin, Texas! It was a great trip and I am in love with the city. If it wasn’t for my LOVE of the ocean, I would seriously considering moving. I have a lot of blogging to do in the next few days so you can see what we were up to before I left. This first wedding was one of the few occasions when I was a second shooter for a good friend of mine Carolyn Rife! It was a lot of fun to get to work with all the guys and seriously this was a gorgeous wedding party! I think it is always inspiring to get to see another professional photographer in action. I think we fed off of each other and I hope she had as much fun as I did. Enjoy the images. As you can see, I was working with a lively crew!
Okay, I know I always say “the best thing about being a photographer is…….”, but I have one more favorite reason to be a photographer… watching beautiful children grow up into fabulous adults. Catherine has been bringing her girls to Blue Sky’s for photographs on a white background each year. These images mark their growth each year and always have at least one image with their toes showing (if you know me, you know that I LOVE bare feet)! Her daughter is all grown up and just got married in Napa Valley…..but she did not want to miss the final image of the series of her daughter in her wedding dress on the white background! I think she is just beautiful!
Nothing is more challenging that shooting a wedding at noon, outside at the beach on Memorial Day weekend…….unless you are working with Sara Ann and Craig! First, the location of the wedding was stunning! Right on the beach in Newport and second, everyone that attended was just great. Anna and I felt like a part of the family. My favorite image is of the bride and groom in Craig’s Porsche (or as they refer it… his other Woman!). Thanks for allowing us to be a part of this awesome day!
Yes, that is right….. the wedding of Jessica and Eddie followed pretty quickly after their gorgeous engagement shoot in the Mission. Last weekend Anna and I had the honor of working with these two beautiful people on their wedding day in Dana Point! We scouted a great little park for the bridal portraits and the wedding took place on the bluff over the Dana Point harbor. These two radiated joy and everyone that attended was inspired by their beautiful love story. Not to mention, these two can REALLY cut a rug! The last dance was worth staying for! Thanks so much to you both for working with us!
Wow, Mary and Clint contacted me just a few months ago saying they would be in Laguna Beach for their wedding in April and were looking for a photographer. As most of you know, I typically require that all brides and groom work with me on an engagement shoot prior to the wedding so we get to know each other. I was a little worried about this wedding, since I did not meet Mary until the day before the ceremony. BUT… there was no need to worry because we hit it off immediately. Mary was so warm and funny and I knew that we would have a great time on her wedding day. Clint was so obviously in love with Mary and the two of them were a BLAST to work with. Thank you both so much for including Jessica and myself in your special day! Here is a sneak preview of some of my favorite images!
