Kona Kai Resort Wedding – San Diego Wedding Photography

Here are some images from Tom & Ute’s wedding that I photographed with Nathan Petty.

Nathan left me with Ute for a little while so I went and hid behind the bushes. Kidding! My friend, Susie, calls this my “super secret spy-on-your-subject shots.”

Wedding at Heritage Park & Los Caballeros

A few weeks ago, David Baxter forwarded me an email from Katy. She had a wedding coming up but she’d just been put on bed rest for her pregnancy. She needed a couple of photographers to cover for her. Kara Frans – who was delightful to work with – and I did our best to fill Katy’s shoes as we photographed Sal and Jessica’s wedding.

The ceremony was held at Heritage Park and the reception was at Los Caballeros Racquet and Sports Club.

Here are some images from the event…

Katy created a beautiful guest sign-in book with their engagement images. It was a hit with family and friends!

Such cool haircuts! I couldn’t resist photographing them from behind!

Gearing up for the honeymoon dance!

The beautiful details…

Rancho Las Lomas Wedding: Chris and Brie | Orange County Wedding photography

A couple of weeks ago, I had the awesome opportunity to shoot Chris and Brie’s wedding at the beautiful Rancho Las Lomas with Rebecca-linh. We shot for over 14 hours, yet the time flew by because we had such a great time!

Brie was the smiliest, most laid-back bride ever. She and Chris were a true pleasure to photograph!

Chris’s first sight of Brie. See the love?

Can you tell the photo booth was a hit?

The details were exquisite.

Playing with a little off-camera flash for night portraits…

A mirror shot of Brie’s dad looking on as we took some portraits of the bride and groom.

Yet another mirror shot…

These photos were quickly edited in Lightroom and uploaded to my server the night before I left for Hawaii. A part of me wants to take some of the images into Photoshop to tweak a bit. Alas, I don’t have PS here so I just have to get over it!

I will be on Oahu for a couple more weeks but I’ve post-dated a couple of entries so there will be new content before I head back to San Diego. Just for you, Roxanne!

Wedding at a private residence: Jason & Mara | San Diego Wedding Photography

My mom always told me to start the new year doing what you’d like to be doing the rest of the year. When I was little, she also told me to jump up and down right at midnight on New Year’s day so I’d grow taller. Obviously that didn’t work; I still have to shop in the petites department. Or maybe it did do something. My sister did not receive the same advice, and she got stuck at 4′11 -3/4″! Maybe if I didn’t jump, I’d be fighting for 3/4 of an inch, too!:)

Oh yeah, so I’m starting as I’d like to continue the year, blogging the beautiful wedding of two wonderful people, Jason & Mara.

Jason’s first glimpse of Mara.

How lucky is Jason? Doesn’t every guy want to be looked at this way?

Shauna, Mara’s best friend and maid-of-honor…

They played tug-of-war with their dogs. Who do you think won?

Have a healthy, happy, hopeful new year, everyone!

And go UH Warriors!
