Sammy & Bettie: Life in Denver

September 25th, 2010

It’s days like today that remind me how much I miss and love Denver. Beautiful blue skies, lukewarm mid 70′s temperatures and a slight breeze just to remind you that the weather can change in a heart beat. All of which made for a perfect day for a lifestyle portrait session in Downtown Denver. Amazingly [...]

 

It’s days like today that remind me how much I miss and love Denver. Beautiful blue skies, lukewarm mid 70′s temperatures and a slight breeze just to remind you that the weather can change in a heart beat. All of which made for a perfect day for a lifestyle portrait session in Downtown Denver.

Amazingly I’ve known Sammy and Bettie since they were probably about 6 years old. Actually it could be longer than that but I’m pretty sure I was too young to remember it if that was the case. Regardless of that, we grew up as cousins, even though technically we aren’t cousins as we’re actually god cousins, and our families have gone through a lot through the years as an extended family of sorts. But even with all that, it seemed like it was mission impossible just to find a date that worked for all of us so that we could meet up for a quick two hour lifestyle portrait session. Fortunately we were finally able to do so today and we can now finally cross that off our things to do list for the near future so here you go girls, your single day edit photos are up! Enjoy!

Nelsy + Jeff: An OC Engagement

September 20th, 2010

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is meeting others who love photography as much, if not more than I do. One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is working with couples who love and value photography as much as I do since that makes me even more excited about shooting their engagement and covering their wedding. I personally believe that your most treasured photos will last a beyond your lifetime and the stories from your photos will read like a book to the future generations.

I personally believe that your most treasured photos will last beyond your lifetime and the stories from your photos will read like a book to our future generations. So when I met Nelsy and Jeff and was told that photography was one of the most important aspects of their wedding day, I had a feeling that we would get along great. Though I can’t say the same about the bee that I had the unfortunate pleasure of running into during their engagement session. All I can say is that I’m lucky I’m not allergic and I’m thankful I was the one who was stung instead of Nelsy, Jeff or my lovely assistant Julie. With that being said, enjoy the photos and I can’t wait for 1.14.11!

Monique + Leo: A Beautiful Long Beach Wedding. Part One.

August 24th, 2010

Amazingly enough, it has been a pretty mild summer here in Southern California compared to past years. Because of that I was hoping for those wonderfully mild temperatures to stick around since it is after all, August, but it appears that mother nature decided to play tricks on us and brought on some sweltering temperatures [...]

 

Amazingly enough, it has been a pretty mild summer here in Southern California compared to past years. Because of that I was hoping for those wonderfully mild temperatures to stick around since it is after all, August, but it appears that mother nature decided to play tricks on us and brought on some sweltering temperatures just in time for Monique and Leo’s Wedding. I suppose it could have been worse and rained on us, but thankfully it didn’t, so I’m going to be thankful for that as it was still a beautiful Saturday afternoon for a lovely couple to be married.

I want to add that I consider myself and my team fortunate to have had the honor of documenting such an important day for such an incredible couple. Monique and Leo, you guys rocked the wedding and it was such a pleasure to have spent the day with you and all your wonderful friends and family. I only wish you two the best on your new journey in life and hope that we have captured your memorable day as you saw it. So without further adieu, here are the first set of your photos. Enjoy!
