Dustin & Danielle: Wedding

Can I just tell you how much fun this couple is? They are SO FUN! I haven't blogged their engagement shoot yet, but just wait till you see that because we got some hilarious shots in there! I met these two forever ago, and they were actually the first booking of 2007, since they got married on 7.7.07 (can you see how far behind on blogging I am!!!??). They are both physical therapists, and are the nicest people ever, and so caring, and just plain fun to be around.

Dustin loves Danielle, like a lot. Him and I have talked on multiple occasions on how we definitely landed ladies that are way out of our league! Anyways, some favorites from the wedding:

Danielle looked amazing! Gorgeous eyes, huh?

Dustin had some awesome groomsmen that helped him be all stylin'. I can't tell you how excited this guy was to see his beautiful bride...

I LOVE this shot that Erin grabbed moments before the ceremony. It says so much, don't you think?

How CLASSIC is Dustin's face? He's so pumped! Danielle was a princess, through and through.

My wife takes sweet photos:

Typical Dustin, hamming it up in front of everybody, trying to get a reaction of if the cake should go in the face or not. Hilarious!

DJ Pat made the party rockin' with some awesome tunes and killer lights. If you ever need a DJ, he's a great one to work with - definitely made it a party!

Alesha & Lane: Wedding

Alesha and Lane have got to be one of the most genuine couples I've ever met. They are seriously so kind and wonderful, they are like a dream to work with! Erin and I were so blessed to get to hang out with them at their wedding, I have the best clients ever! The ceremony was at the Marina Village right on Mission Bay (gorgeous) and the reception was in one of the ballrooms there at Marina Village. There were so many favorites from the day, here's a few favorites, though:

I loved this, every time I look at this image it just cracks me up!

The guys, looking good.

Such a sweet cake!

My Wife!

Cool announcement- my wife, Erin has begun shooting with me! She's always tried to come to all the weddings with me to just help me out as an assistant, and a few months back she actually started to pick up the camera and has been shooting along side me for a while now.

I can't believe how fast she is picking this stuff up, she's like, really good! Below is a picture of her just chillin' at a recent e-session we did. Isn't she beautiful? There's nothing hotter than my wife when she's shooting. I think we can all agree that Erin is way out of my league. :) We're having so much fun shooting all the time together, I seriously am so blessed to have such an amazing best friend.

So, look for her to begin posting stuff on the blog from time to time!

Rena & Jesse: Day After

Ok, so I'm going through and I think I'm going to just catch up on random stuff, in kind of a random order. I promised my friend Stacy Cross that I'd give her a shout out when I started posting again, so I thought it was only appropriate that I do so in one of my first posts back. Rena and Jesse were so much fun! I've known Rena for a while, and when she asked me to be her wedding photographer I was so amped! But it ended up that I had another wedding booked that day, with an equally rockin' couple, so I couldn't do their wedding.

So we did the next best thing, a post-wedding shoot! Rena found a sweet open field in Escondido, Ca and we went nuts for a few hours. They are so cute!

One of the shots I did with them was one that I saw on Stacy's blog a long time ago (Stacy, help me out with the link) and I tried my best to do a shot with the same kind of feel to it. Here's that shot, followed by a few of my favorites. If you know Rena & Jesse, hit them up for the link to see the rest of the pics!

New Blog! Well, Kinda :)

I'm so excited because I finally get to begin using my new blog, which has been in the works for quite some time! What you see here isn't the finished product, but it's way different than the old blog. I've been in a blog-limbo for the past few weeks where I didn't want to post because I didn't know how everything would transfer.

Anyways, enough of the technical mumbo-jumbo, this thing is sweet. What you'll start seeing now is super big images (sweet) along with a ton of cool little interface goodies which will make cruising the blog so much easier. One of my favorite new features is the comments. Go find a post with comments, and click on the comments link and see what happens. Sweet!

Speaking of comments, all you blog stalkers need to show some blog-love! I see the analytics, and I know how many of you are out there!!! Even if you think my pictures suck, at least tell me I have a good personality, or something :) j/k

Ok, for the first image ever on the new blog, I thought I'd put up a sweet image from a recent wedding. This is a really cool shot from Ashlee & Ryan's wedding, where Ashlee was getting ready, and I snagged this one with my new 50mm f/1.4. More to come! Erin is calling me for dinner (yes it's late, but that's how we roll.)
