Madeline & Ben | Quail Botanical Gardens

I loved Madeline and Ben’s wedding. They were married in the Walled Garden at Quail Botanical Gardens and the light was perfect and I just couldn’t stop taking photos. We wandered around and did photos and it was so easy. Everything flowed just like it should at a wedding. Beautiful setting, great families, funny wedding party… And then the reception was held at Madeline’s family home. She grew up there, which makes it the perfect spot for a reception. Congratulations, I think you two are perfect for each other.

Hilary + Stephen | Verandas

What an amazing day. Hilary and Stephen are such a perfect match, they were just meant to be together. Their wedding totally was them. It was elegant, sweet and all about family and friends. They held their ceremony down on the beach and the reception was at the fabulous Verandas in Manhattan Beach. Thanks for having me!

I love these pictures of the girls trying to figure out the dress:

I think this reaction might have been caused by a photo of Stephen with a mullet:

You know the party is over when you see this:

Danielle and Tino | Chanteclaire Country Manor

Danielle and Tino’s wedding was so beautiful and full of emotion. I don’t know if I can ever remember a couple more thrilled to finally be married. They met in kindergarden and dated all through high school and college. The end result was an amazing wedding filled with lots of tears and laughter. It was my first time at Chanteclaire Country Manor in Escondido, what a beautiful spot. Congratulations to you both, I know you’ll have a happy future!

I loved these sweet moments right after the ceremony:

Kylene and Greg | Wild Animal Park

I first need to say, I love Kylene and Greg. They are funny, kind and just fabulous people. Their wedding was such a pleasure to be at. I felt the love and friendship everywhere. And I always laugh when Kylene is around. I also came to find out that her whole family is also super funny. I love it! We did pictures before the ceremony and they had the best reactions when they saw each other. I got to work with Krista and Karen of Definitive Events. They made everything run so smoothly and easy. Thanks girls, it was a pleasure working with you! Greg and Kylene, thanks for having me, I had a great time. And I love my photobooth pictures!

Chelsea,

I knew when Kylene and I met you that you were the photographer for her and Greg’s special day. I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures!

Thank you so much!

Meet Aidan

I love it when my wedding clients have babies and then I get to take the photos! Meet Lauren and Derek’s boy Aidan. He was born 4 weeks early and we did his photos when he was a month old. What a sweet little guy, he’s making his parent’s life easy!
