Kyle and Jamie: Wedding!

Kyle and Jamie's wedding was amazing! The second I pulled up to the venue I could tell it was going to be a beautiful ceremony and reception! The wedding was held at Vista Valley Country Club in Vista, CA. My brother and I had an amazing time and got some beautiful, and fun shots! The guys in the wedding party were especially creative with a few of their ideas.(You'll see what I mean below)

So, without further ado, here are some AMAZING(If I do say so myself) previews.

PEACE!

James and Holly: Wedding!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing James and Holly's wedding in San Diego. It was actually another first for me: it was my first time photographing a Catholic ceremony so that was cool! I really can't wait until I have a laundry list of all different types of ceremonies under my belt. The whole day was a blast and to top it off I actually got a name card and a seat at dinner this time! Thanks to everyone who attended for creating such a great environment!

Here are a few previews of what's to come!

Thanks again for checking them out! Also, I plan on blogging new photos like crazy this week so keep those eyes peeled for some new ones from the past month or so.

PEACE!

WAAAAY OVERDUE!

So I just realized the other day that I haven't posted a blog since August 7th. WOW! I mean, I knew it had been a while but it actually surprised me that 2 months had gone by. So we did move in to our new house a month or so ago and that did take a lot of my time. Plus, I have a ton of shoots for Sept. and Oct. so I guess I just subconsciously neglected the blog. Sorry blog! And sorry to all 2 people who read this blog.

So basically what I am going to do is combine what probably could be 10 posts. I have done quite a few shoots recently that I haven't posted so here they all are in their condensed form.

Thanks for reading and I swear I will not go this long in between blogs again.

PEACE!

First are some images from an awesome senior shoot I did with Taylor. We met up at Wind 'n Sea beach in La Jolla, CA which was neat because I actually don't think I had ever been there. I've been to La Jolla a million times but just not this specific beach. It was such a nice spot and we got some great shots! Enjoy.

I had never done a morning engagement shoot until shooting Nate and Ashley at Balboa Park a few weeks ago. It was a perfect morning for it! I also have to add that I love shooting at Balboa Park because it's a little bit of a challenge. Anyone who has been there would probably be confused by that last statement. It's a challenge because you really have to get creative to try and bring out something different from the last shoot. Nate and Ashley had some great suggestions and between the 3 of us I think we got some sweet photos!

Next we have another senior shoot, that like the previous engagement session, was done at Balboa Park. I feel like the phrase "comfortable in front of the camera" is an understatement when describing Mary. I think she literally put her purse down and was ready for the first shot in 2 seconds. I seriously enjoy everyone that I have the pleasure of photographing, but I would be lying if I said that I didn't especially enjoy people who like being in front of the camera. It makes the shoot go so smoothly. This was one of those shoots.

One of the most awesome engagement sessions I've done was for James and Holly. We essentially did 2 shoots in one day. One in San Diego at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, and the second in Los Angeles. My brother Scott went with me to second shoot on this particular day and I'm glad he did. I realized on this shoot that I love going with a second shooter. It really adds so much to the day and of course, the photos. Check out a few selections from the day.

I now like the Black Eyed Peas song "I Got a Feeling" and it's thanks to Leinei and Brandon's wedding last month. Now instead of the song making me think of how much I don't like Fergie it makes me think of how fun the wedding was. Leinei and Brandon were so genuine and fun I felt more like I was attending the wedding rather than working. Now I am still working on most of their photos but below are just a couple from after the ceremony.

And last but not least we have Tim and Glenna's wedding which was held at the Twin Oaks Golf course in San Marcos, CA. I think everyone was a little worried about the weather at first but it turned out to be beautiful. I seriously don't think I have ever had such good natural light for a wedding. It was perfect! Glenna and Tim are good friends of Mark and Lyle who were one of my first wedding photography clients. It was great to see them again and to be photographing for Glenna and Tim on their big day!

Well, there you have it. I have pretty much officially brought the blog up to date. I hope you feel as good as I do about it! I'm pretty sure this blog has taken me over an hour to complete so I'm going to go celebrate now.

Until next time...
