Wilkes Wedding

This weekend was a wedding blitz! Not only was I a bridesmaid but I also officiated my first wedding ever! Who knew it only takes 5 minutes and an internet connection to get ordained? Writing vows was no easy task, thankfully after interviewing friends and family members I found many consistencies on how people looking in viewed the couple to be. Francisca and Bobby are a blast to be around...I had too much fun and was able to take a few pictures while I was at it.

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.

Experimenting with Rings

Lauren's Bridal Shower

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). I was given someones point and shoot for most of the time and grabbed my own camera to take a few pictures at the event.

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!
