A storm is rolling in...

So, I am sitting here in my office working late (as usual... after kiddos go to bed... :), and Brandon comes in and tells me I "HAVE" to go outside to take a picture of the moon! Man... was he right, here is the picture for you! The moon was glowing beautifully between some storm clouds, and you get the light from lightning coming in from the side. Thought it was a beautiful reminder of nature. Better get to bed... we are looking forward to Courtney and Matthew's wedding in Tucson tomorrow!

Enjoy the image!

Kelsey and Garth's wedding!

CONGRATULATIONS KELSEY & GARTH!!!!

My wonderful, beautiful cousin just got married to an amazing guy named Garth! We had the privilege of being not only guests at the wedding, but hired as the photographers as well! It was so much fun... we got to hang out with the family and do what we love all at the same time! It was such a fun day... and everyone was so cool, the bridal party was awesome to work with - we got some amazing shots! Being in LA was wonderful... the weather was actually NICE outside at night where we got to enjoy the beautiful Descano Gardens where they had the party!

Dylan even got his first plane ride at 7 weeks old to go along with us! We all had a great time... and here are some of my favorite images form the night! Enjoy!

How cute are they together?

Now this is an engagement shoot for ya!

The ever so talented, Kim McDowell (The Event Essentials), contacted me a few weeks ago to ask a favor... her best friend (Alicia) is about to be proposed to by her boyfriend, and she was helping plan an AWESOME surprise for her! The scene... Villa Siena... Nick works at Villa Siena, and he told her that he needed to pick up his paycheck... meanwhile Kim and Alicia and Nick's close friends and family were hiding out watching the following...

Alicia walking out, I think she started to get what was going on here :)










Miss Kim McDowell herself....


They all then had an amazing dinner and celebrated their love! Congratulations Alicia and Nick!! And thanks again Kim... that was FUN!

Now THAT's the way to shoot engagement portraits!! LOL... how cool it was to witness that moment, it was great!

Can't wait for the wedding!!
