Artie & Betsy- Hindu Wedding

This was the first of three weddings for Artie and Betsy. Although the colors were splendid I can't help but change some to black and white.

Off-Roading, Guns, Love and Man's Best Friend

For this shoot we traveled to a place where Bobby grew up..and we traveled in style...and sideways... in a Jeep. Francisca and Bobby are adventurers and spend quite a bit of times outdoors, camping, shooting guns and getting dirty. I'm glad we were able to incorporate all this into the engagement session. There were times where I felt I was snapping shots for a Jeep commercial.

First comes love then comes marriage... wait a minute... somewhere in between that there are a ton of fancy and fun events with friends and family...Here are some shots from a Bridal Shower for Lauren (of Lauren and Bucky seen below).

Jack & Lacey Tilden Park

Shooting at a new location is always an adventure. Shooting a wedding is an adventure. Jack an Lacey have allowed me to join them in both. Here are some images from an engagement shoot we did at Tilden Park. We raced the fog, climbed trees, hopped fences and dodged poison oak. They were such a fun couple to work with!

Black and White Romance

Black & White shots from Anna and Nick before their Junior Prom

Nick and Anna

I remember getting ready for my prom in 10 minutes.... because getting my hair done took 2.5 hours!! Doing this prom shoot brought me back. Anna looked like a fairytale princess. What an amazing dress!! Photography wise I learned it is very challenging to get the best shots when there are 30+ people taking pictures as well as 30+ subjects. Thanks go out to Anna and Nick for letting me practice. You are both stunning.
