SD MARRIOTT MISSION VALLEY WEDDING | ABIGAIL+ROLANDO

November 6, 2009 – 3:23 pm

I knew Abby WAAAAAAY back in the days in high school when she and Rolando first started dating. HaHa!!! Back then we were “kickin’ it” in our baggy jeans and dark dark red lipstick. Good ol’ high school memories!  Who knew years later I’d be doing their wedding photography?

The day started off with prep shots at the Mission Valley Marriott in San Diego, followed by their ceremony at Good Shepherd Church, fun portraits at Presidio Park, then back down to the Mission Valley Marriott for a very entertaining reception.  Check it out!

Some cute kid moments…Okay seriously this has got to be my largest group of groomsmen that I’ve shot…14 guys!!!

SAN DIEGO WEDDING | PEARL RESTAURANT | WILL+KAREN

October 22, 2009 – 4:25 pm

Karen and Will are two super super sweet people who I recently photographed. They were married at the First Baptist Church of San Diego and had their banquet at Pearl Chinese Cuisine in Rancho Bernardo. Seriously though… I don’t think I’ve ever photographed so much laughter at a single wedding!!! If you’ve never been to a chinese wedding before, they are loooong…and FUN!

The day starts off early with the bride getting ready…followed by the arrival of the GUYS……who aren’t allowed to enter the house until they play a list of games that the girls prepare…A whole lot of pointing going on in a span of a minute…
Here’s one…two……and three.Just part of the 10-COURSE MEAL!!!

Ceremony location: First Baptist Church of San Diego

Banquet location: Pearl Chinese Cuisine

THE CONDOR’S NEST RANCH WEDDING | KRISTEN+MATT

September 23, 2009 – 11:36 am

I love FUN weddings! Thanks to my lovely friend Daisy Varley, I had the opportunity to tag along at Kristen and Matt’s wonderful fiesta at The Condor’s Nest Ranch. This place is COOL!!! You’ve got a barn, llamas, goats, pigs, horses…all right there! Definitley a fun wedding location for the kids!

The Condor’s Nest Ranch is a great venue for a casual retreat wedding.  You and your guests can stay overnight, swim, enjoy the mountain views, stare at goats (; and just relax.  Funny thing is the guests had already been seated waiting for the ceremony to begin when this was still going on in the bridal room…I love FUN people!SWEET CAROLINE! BA-BA-BUMMM!!!

SAN DIEGUITO PARK WEDDING | MARTY + JACQUI

September 21, 2009 – 3:30 pm

Oh boy…these two are soooooo in LOVE!!!! Marty and Jacqui are two friends of mine who were just married at San Dieguito Park. I met Jacqui when she moved from Australia to attend the Horizon School of Evangelism, which is also where I met Marty. Marty served as a missionary in England for a little over a year, and one of the first things he did when he came back home to San Diego was propose to Jacqui…right there in the airport. CUTE! Here are some shots of the LOVE birds!
