Calamigos Ranch in Malibu: Jennifer & Jeremy’s Wedding Day 9/26/09

Jen & Jeremy – met on eharmony.com believe it or not! And what a great match!  This year went by so fast because it feels like just  yesterday that I met with them for their Engagement Session in La Jolla.  And here we are past their wedding day already.  This was  a beautiful wedding at the Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, CA.  There were so many tears of joy from Jen. She looked fantastic! And just look at that smile on Jeremy’s face.  I wish these two a beautiful future together!  Check out some of my favorites from throughout the day.

And a special shout out to Tuan from In Eye Photography for second shooting with me.  I had a great time working with you!

Ashley & Jason’s La Jolla Cliffs Wedding 10/10/09

Ashley and J were married along the cliffs of La Jolla on October 10th.  It was a chilly day but their friends and family were so excited to witness this union. And what a beautiful couple!  I was so happy to be a part of this celebration.

And Jacquelyn from San Diego Destination Weddings did another great job!

Hawaiian Themed Ceremony at South Beach, Coronado

Congratulations Rebecca and Robert!  They have officially united their families together on Oct 4th beachside just south of The Hotel Del Coronado.  I’m so happy for these two!  I was only there for the ceremony (although I did volunteer to document their honeymoon in Hawaii!  <wink> ) It was a beautiful sunset – although filled with a few goose bumps, I know it was worth it to them to have all their closest family members and friends there to celebrate.  And  I have a feeling soaking up the sun in Hawaii a few days later had them forgetting all about the chill.

Congratulations you two!

Jennifer & Jeremy’s Wedding Sneak Preview

Congrats Jen & Jeremy!

Heather & Shane are married get married at Sunset Cliff Villas 8/30/09

Wow! What a great day!  Heather & Shane are such a fantastic couple! I just can’t say enough about how much I like these two.  When Heather & I first spoke on the phone together about their wedding day  - I knew I just had to be there to capture it all. And I first met Shane at the Engagement session – & what great guy.  They were game for all my suggestions – my kinda couple.  You can’t help but notice the  fantastic chemistry these two have together.  And on August 30th they were married  at the Ocean View Villas on Sunset Cliffs, in my own neighborhood of Ocean Beach. I know of a cool little beach around the way where I took them & their wedding party for some photos. And the phrase ‘you are a reflection of the company you keep’ comes to mind when I think about their family & wedding party-who could not have been nicer. Thanks for choosing me to be a part of this day – And special thanks to Carmin Cermak for sending Heather my way! It was great to work with you again.

As usual I had such a hard time deciding which images to show…

I think I’m in love with her beautiful blue shoes!

And look at these handsome fellas!  The guys were so in to the photos – & where we were going with them – they actually set up the middle shot themselves while I was working with ladies!

Love those eyes!

Saying I Do … was that a tear I saw Mr. Shane? We can hardly blame you though.

And beauties in teal blue …  (Ok so I had to sneak the dog photo into the blog.  This little mutt was just chilling on the beach with his peeps when he decided to hop in a few photos of the wedding party. Look at that little face – too cute!)

Oh yeah!

Just lovely …

Yummy cupcakes, beautiful first dance, & some bling.

It’s not a party without cake …

and dancing

This one made me laugh – didn’t even know this shot was in this series – made me actually laugh out loud!

Congratulations Heather & Shane!

Elizabeth & Shane’s Wedding Ceremony at South Beach Coronado 9/9/09

I photographed a very pretty mid-week wedding ceremony a few weeks ago for Elizabeth & Shane.  What a good looking couple! Together for many years now, they finally decided to tie the knot on 9/9/09.  I had a chance to work with my friend & coordinator, Jacquelyn from San Diego Destination Weddings.

Marika & Greg at Torrey Pines

Hi Everyone – I know I am a few days late on my weekly post … but I do have some new images to show.  My good friend, Sean, asked me to help him out a few weeks ago to photograph Marika & Greg’s wedding day.  The ceremony was held at Torrey Pines & then off to a private residence for the party!

Such a cute couple! For their first dance they had a special swing dance choreographed about how they met. To kick off the party – they performed for their guests!

Sneak Peek for Heather…

This has been a crazy week filled with computer & hard drive melt downs, thousands of images to edit & paperwork & research that appears to be never ending.  I am starting to get the sense that it is time for a vacation.  But until then I have to catch up with my weddings & portrait session edits. And I am super excited about the last few weeks of shooting.  What a truly great couple – Heather & Shane ! – married 8/30/09.  (You remember their Engagement Session a few months ago). Because of some delays I have only just begun to edit their wedding day.  But I know Heather is even more excited to see her images than I am … So this is for you Heather!  I pulled a few real quick just so you can see how gorgeous you were. I promise to post more later…

Danyel & Chris get married at the La Costa Resort 8/15/09

So you may remember  Chris & Danyel’s Engagement Session from July … well they are officially hitched! As of 8/15/09!  Their wedding was at the La Costa Resort in Carlsbad. This was my first time there but I quickly figured out the best spots for photos.  Chris was anxious to get the show on the road but was looking very handsome in his suit. And Danyel was hollywood glamour  in her long hair and pretty gown…

(This wedding was shot for Cary Pennington Photography)

Heidi & Ken are married! 08/8/08+1 in La Jolla

Welcome to Heidi and Ken’s seaside ceremony.   They met when Ken was in China.  And after falling in much love together, they were married along the cliffs in La Jolla just south of Cuvier Park and followed by a reception in Coronado at Candela’s on the Bay.  I had alot of fun with this couple … Heidi is such a photo ham! … my kind of girl!  I really struggled to edit down the images to just a few of my favorites. So I said forget it! I will show them all !

Congratulations Ken and Heidi !!
