Nicole & Jeff experienced hail on their wedding day (Feb 7th).
this one was taken shortly before it starting pouring
balls of ice! they're a super fun & relaxed couple!
I really enjoyed working with them...an awesome experience!

just one for now, more to follow soon :-)

nicole & jeff :: engaged

it was a nice day in November ('08), the weather was behaving,
and the sun was out, so we headed to Long Beach. this engagement
shoot was a fun stroll in the park...here's Nicole & Jeff,
to be married next month. I had a great time and I'm looking forward
to the wedding. congrats you two, see you soon!

nikki & joel :: wedding

I'm back in town, and ready for the new year! well, sorta ready.
ready or not, it's coming. I know I'm a tad slow on the blog posts, considering
it's now Dec 30th, and my last post was Dec 14th.

without any further delays, another lovely couple, Nikki & Joel,
married on Nov 15th, right on the sands of Laguna Beach.

here comes the bride!

bridal party striking a pose!

Nikki really wanted a photo with her grandmother. this one was one of my faves, so cute!

I loved how they had no problem climbing up on the rocks to catch the sunset.

rae marie & craig ~ wedding Nov 8th

here's the full post of a wedding I shot on Nov 8th

some of the beautiful beach decorations at the reception

yeah, this one is over saturated, but I kinda liked it that way :-)
reminds me of a thick spaghetti sauce that's been sitting over night
(left overs often taste better). probably a bad comparison, bare with me :-)

the reception was at a beautiful home in Laguna Beach

small and intimate beach ceremony that happened right at sunset









hooray, we did it!


the ceremony and the reception were very close, so they drove
to the reception in this golf cart


first dance, aren't they sweet!
