Lover's Point, Pacific Grove Wedding

Michelle & Robert Tied the knot on 08-09-08, at Lovers point in Pacific Grove. It was a beautiful wedding day and the weather seemed perfect. You never know what you will get on the coast- it was a bit overcast.. perfect lighting.. for portraits and cleared later in the day with bright blue skies!! Robert and Michelle live in Fresno, i get so excited when clients from out of town decide to get married in the area and enjoy our beautiful coast! I started the day off at the Asilomar Conference Grounds for the boy's portraits the were  so easy  to work with they all fell into place.. like they had all done it a million times before!! While Elizabeth of Elizabeth Balch Photography worked with the girls at Berwick Park!

 I have to say when i first met Robert + Michelle last year, i immediately hit if off with them and i knew they were going to have an awesome wedding! They are an adorable couple and  are very much in love. Both have great  friends and family that were fun getting to know during the day and were truly a pleasure to work with!! 

oh, the flowers were provided by Bella Donna's, who did a remarkable job!! They were beautiful!!

Santa Cruz Wedding - Private Residence

Ben + Marissa were married in Santa Cruz on June 14th. The couple decided to get married at Ben's Auntie's home located in Santa Cruz, since he has such fond memories from his childhood there. It was a special day- very low key and mellow.. my favorite!! Unbelievable really- since Ben was graduating from UCSC the same weekend he was getting married and then moving to Texas 3 days following the wedding with his new bride!! They were so great to work with we giggled most of the day together. They are so in love  and have so much respect for each other-it was a honor to be there! Here are some of my favs from the day.. enjoy!!

Santa Cruz Wedding








Portrait Session

I love working with children. Unpredicatable..sometimes- but always fun! Dahlia was no exception- she was great! It was a hot day.. but she handled it like a pro. She was never fussy even through her outfit changes and the heat! I just love her cheeks and her great smile. Mom really wore herself out.. she was singing songs and dancing around to get Dahlia laughing and smiling.. it really worked! Dahlia just lit up at the sound of her voice..it was so sweet! here are a few of my favorites from the shoot..enjoy!

Just a little bit of what i have been up to lately. Here are a few of my favorite pics from Janette and Michaelangelo's wedding. I worked along side Rebecca Stark of Rebecca Stark Photography, a very gifted photographer based in Santa Cruz. The ceremony was held in Morgan Hill, reception followed at the Historical DelMonte Building. Both Janette and Michaelangelo were just great to work with and have amazing families and friends- just a great fun bunch. Enjoy
