Remembering 2011

As the calendar page turned last week, I found myself pouring over all my files from last year. There were so many GREAT wedding that did not get onto the “Blog”:-( I have been pretty busy I guess, however not right now!  Michael and I have some chill time each day to watch movies ,build fires and eat crazy amounts of great food!!   So why not work on a blog that covers all 32 weddings???  Crazy idea???  Who does this I asked myself? Ok no one!!  Just a little bit from each one. I know it is a long blog but I figured maybe some of you have some free time too. Many thanks to Michael and Nate for all your help to make this year so incredible!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dave & Lynn’s Maui Wedding!!!

First of all I just want to say that I absolutely LOVE what I do!!!   I have shot over 1200 weddings so far and am not slowing down any time soon!  There would be to many moments that I would miss out on, and that is not going to happen!

My months continue to fill up with some of the most amazing couples that I get to hang out with and help capture some of the most wonderful times that you could imagine. The most recent wedding had Michael and I flying over to Maui..

Tough job, but somebody’s got to do it, right?? Well, we flew out early and spend several days doing everything from kayaking, snorkeling with very large turtles, drinking tons of Mai Tai’s, and sleeping in every morning!!

Friday came very quickly and it was time to start planning shots and pulling together all the ideas that had been floating around in my head. Dave and Lynn have become very close friends of ours over the past few months and I was simply

beyond excited and honored to be a part of everything!!  The wedding and celebration was so much more than I could have ever imagined!  The wedding took place at this place called “Secret Beach”, and I can only tell you that it  was

unbelievably  beautiful !!  At several points in the afternoon, I simply could not stop tearing because their love story and chemistry together was so powerful. I hope you all enjoy viewing these pictures as much as I do!!!!

Dave and Lynn, I want to thank you so much for giving both of us such a great week full of love and memories that will be cherished forever!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forever can never be long enough for me,To feel like I’ve had long enough with you. Forget the world now, we won”t let them see, but there is one thing left to do. Now that the weight has lifted, love has surely shifted my way…

Marry me, today and every day!!

 

 

 

 

 

You wear white and I’ll wear out the words” I love You” and your beautiful..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Say you will, Say you will….Marry me!

Mia & Matt’s Wedding

The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
that I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
what I never felt with anyone else
I wanna give back what you’ve given to me &
I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you’ve shown me
who I really am
I wanna be more than just your man

I wanna be the wind that fills your sails &
be the hand that lifts your veil
be the moon that moves your tide
the sun comin up in your eyes
be the wheel that never rusts
be the spark that lights you up
all that you’ve been dreaming of & more
so much more
I wanna be your everything……………….. Keith Urban

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Matt and Mia…WOW and WOW!!!!!!!!   Everything about your day was so perfect!!!   Every time I look at these pictures I feel all warm and fuzzy all over again. Your attention to detail really paid, off and EVERYBODY had such a great evening. I remember back to taking pictures at Cannery Row, and how we recreated Matt’s proposal by the water. Great memories and moments all the way back to the very beginning. You guys are so loved and I wish you the most beautiful life ever!!!!!!

Halloween Happiness…2011

There are very few Holidays that I and our family enjoy as much !!!   It is so beautiful all over town as the trees take on a whole new look of color. The temperature takes a drop, which gets us all thinking about our need to crank up the fire . I also have a coat fetish, that I finally get to start showing off. Scarves, hats and of course all our wonderful boots need filling.  A time for crazy dress up, tons of candy and lots of pumpkin pies to be made and eaten  of course. It only seems like the responsible thing to do with the 50 pumpkins we bring home each year.  This year takes on a whole new excitement for me and our family, for you see my sister (who actually I call, seester, and Jobo,) decided to return to California and found a house 12 minutes from my front door…WHOOOOOOOOOhoooo !!    She also brought with her an awesome  husband, and a whole bunch of new nieces and nephews !!   ( 7 to be exact)  So when we all get together it is ALWAYS a party.

Wishing all of you a great Season….Let go, and HAVE some FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elena & Dave’s Wedding

Almost one year ago to the date, I received a call from Elena. She had such a sparkle in her voice and I knew right away that I so wanted to be a part of her big day. She went on to tell me of the place they were getting married at, called “Long Branch”.

A little western town nestled right up by the ocean in beautiful Half Moon Bay !!!    I had heard about this place years ago and always knew that one day ……….. Well this became “That day “!!!!    As many of you know , about 2 years ago I moved my studio into an old saloon in downtown  Campbell; So needless to say this location was crying out loud for me to go !!!!  All I can say is WOW !!!!!!!!   So much fun from beginning  to end. When the day was over and the bonfire was going out, I do not think one person wanted to leave !

You guys did a great job, and without question gave us all an event that will never be forgotten…..
