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.

David and Caitlin – Coldest shoot on record

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

We got so many great photographs up in Oak Glen. I love this shoot, mostly because I love hanging out with David and Caitlin. They are getting married in the Fall, and they are so excited about being engaged, taking photos, and everything about planning their wedding. It’s hard not to get excited with them. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in the hills of Oak Glen with the Fall colors as a backdrop to the start of their marriage. These guys rock. I want to photograph them every weekend!

Mike and Jennifer – Married on New Year’s Eve

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

[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!
