The DeWaard Family

Saturday, September 22nd, 2012

Nothing better than Oak Glen and photography in the Fall. We are lucky to be friends with these guys. They help us with Christmas lights, help us get dirt for a garden, they loan us the Mary Poppins movie, and they let us feed their chickens when they’re out of town. Everyone should have friends like these guys.

Scott and Melanie Wedding (Part 1)

Saturday, July 21st, 2012

Scott stayed in the bathroom longer than normal. He stood in front of the mirror psyching himself up. The ring was in his day-pack and Melanie was waiting for him. He walked out into the gardens of the Huntington Library, “Let’s go see the Jungle Garden,” he said.

“What’s in the Jungle Garden?” asked Melanie.

“Monkeys.”

They came upon a bench by a pond as they walked and Scott pulled the ring out of his pack. With a cheesey smile, he asked Melanie to be his wife forever. And the rest is yet to be written.

I love it when couples choose to meet before the ceremony. That leads to moments like this and we get to plan a whole mini-shoot with the two of them.

Scott and Melanie: A Retail Love Story

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

Scott and Melanie met on the job. Scott hired Melanie to work in a store he manages, and from then on they were on a path to forever. Melanie is an artist and a teacher at Ontario Christian Schools. She has organized more than one Beautiful Art Exhibit with proceeds going to orphanages in Africa. Scott has dreams of running a recording studio and recently put together his own extended play album.

We had cloudy conditions and a little bit of drizzling rain, but we made the best of the photo shoot – had a picnic even – and got some great photos in Redlands. This was their engagement shoot. They will be getting married in a few months, and I’m pumped to be their wedding photographer.
