Michael & Jessica's wedding
Yeah! Michael and Jessica are MARRIED!! After several months of crazy planning, the wedding was super successful, the bride and groom looked amazing and the whole day was covered with love and peace. I met the ladies at Jessica's hair salon and partied it up....at 10 a.m....with bananas and grapes and mimosa's....HAHAHA, it was awesome. Everyone got dressed to the nine and we ventured into town for bridal party photos. I knew what I wanted for the girls already, so we stopped in various places in town and I just LOVED photographing these girls. They were sooo much fun and gorgeous....made my job SUPER easy. :) I was amazed at how calm Jessica was...she had this peace about her that made her look and probably feel very present, in the moment. Incredible. After bridal shots we arrived at the wedding venue and waited for the ceremony to begin. Clouds were threatening all around us and I dare venture to say that we were super rain wrapped. Once the ceremony began...we got some drizzle...a lot of drizzle, but the wedding continued flawlessly. Everyone was so captured by the union taking place that I think everyone hardly noticed the rain. Ceremony, followed by amazing prayer surrounded by their closest friends and then the party began. Well into the night did dancing, hugging, toasting and delicious food eating take place. It was a magical day and the couple could not have been any happier. AWESOME wedding Jessica and Michael. May the Lord bless your marriage and give you a deeper love for each other every passing year. Cheers!
I love when grooms get into the planning. This was Michaels vision for them to read their vows by a window... success Michael!
What an awesome day!!
Camping for my birthday and many other musings
I turned 33 this year.....crazy!!! I feel about 15, so....there you go. I got to go camping with some friends in the most gorgeous place. A beautiful lake, good food, good friends....singing around the campfire (j/k...we would have scared the animals for sure). Smores galore and ....it was bomb. Here is proof :)
Neapolitan California shoot
I LOVED this shoot!!! This was the last of 3 shoots in CA last month. It was the best time!!! Thanks to Amy and Hans for having me out to photograph their peanut. I've known Amy 13 years now and wow...it was great to see her with her baby doll. What a pleasure it was to see her happy and in love. Nothing better :)
Enjoy the Neapolitan shoot
