David and Caitlin – 2nd Edition

admin — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 02:33:31 +0000

Yesterday’s post brought you right up to David and Caitlin’s ceremony and stopped. Today’s post gives you the ceremony and beyond. I can’t say it enough. What a great day. Thanks David and Caitlin.

I loved Caitlin’s entrance coming down the hill to the beautiful view at Serendipity in Oak Glen, CA with trusty sidekick and maid of honor clinging to the back of the golf cart.

David watching his bride-to-be walk up the aisle.

This little girl was awesome. She carefully considered each rose petal before letting go and allowing it to float down to the grass. She nearly stole the show.

But then came the real show-stopper!

Brothers don’t shake hands. Brothers gotta… kiss?

They couldn’t keep there hands off of her.

Very dapper.

It was a great day. Thank you guys for letting me be part of it.

Just thought I’d give a little sneak peak of the totally awesome wedding that I did in late October. The images are just about done.

So I still have a ridiculous number of photos to post, so get ready to scroll. Here’s the ceremony and the party afterwards. These folks definitely knew how to party.

“Hey, this looks like a cool party. I’m headin’ to the front row.”

“Naw, I’m outta here.”

Dad patrol.

mmmm… frosting.

Nate and Sarah: Pre-wedding

I have way too many photos that I want to post from Nate and Sarah’s wedding. So I’m going to break it up into at least a couple of posts. Needless to say, these guys are spectacular people, easy to photograph, and they planned a great wedding day.

Here are some of the players that made their day great:

Venue: NTC Promenade in San Diego

DJ: Sunset Mobile Music

Florist: Michaels Flower Girl

Cake: French Gourmet

Caterer: San Diego Catering Concepts

Nate’s first stop for the boys was The Barber Side where they got the VIP treatment and were regaled with story after story from the shop’s proprietors.

The girls spent their morning drinking mimosas and being pampered at JoL Salon.

Aww, the second cutest couple of the day.

Gordon and Darlene

Alright, it’s been a few weeks of downtime for us since Katelyn was born. But our maternity and paternity leave is over. It’s time to get the blog jets roaring again. Here’s the first of a several posts coming up in the next few days.

I was thrilled to be part of Gordon and Darlene’s wedding. But not half as thrilled as the happy couple themselves. It was a wonderfully simple and family-centered ceremony. Congratulations Gordon and Darlene. Enjoy your travels together.

Big thank you to Julie In’t Hout for second shooting the ceremony with me.

Love this shot that Julie caught.

Mike and Jennifer – Married on New Year’s Eve

[Updated Header: They were married on New Year's Eve, not Christmas Eve. Sorry.]

What a way to bring in the New Year! Mike and Jennifer were married on the last night of 2010. Their engagement evening didn’t go quite as Mike had planned – a quiet sunset alone overlooking Redlands. There were people everywhere in Prospect Park. Each time Mike thought they’d found a secluded place where he could break out the champagne and pop the question, he was thwarted by others enjoying the same Southern California evening. After several interrupted attempts, Mike thought he’d lost his chance and he bagged the idea of proposing for the time being, at least, until after dinner when he pulled out the ring and asked Jennifer to marry him under a starry sky.

Their wedding was intimate and beautiful. It was held in a small chapel at Edwards mansion in Redlands. I was so glad to be part of it. It was a great way to party into 2011!

Coming Up…

We’re still trying to catch up after a busy Christmas season and I’m a little behind on blogging. Here’s what’s coming up. Jennifer looked beautiful on her wedding day.

Bob and Sheila’s wedding album

It’s here! And it’s awesome. Bob and Sheila were married almost a year ago and after a lot of planning and drafting their wedding album finally arrived in the mail last week. I love Leather Craftsmen albums. They’re handmade to perfection–a gorgeous way to remember your wedding and an invaluable gift to pass down from generation to generation.

Greg and Liz’s Album

I had a great time shooting weddings last summer and fall. I was looking forward to building an album for some of our clients for a long time. Greg and Liz wanted to order an album from the start, and it was exciting to work with them to put it together. This week the album arrived, and it was everything we were hoping for. Leather Craftsmen is a top of the line company. They specialize in hand mounted and bound wedding albums, and they did not disappoint. The album is beautiful. Congratulations again, guys. I hope you enjoy this album years to come.
