this week...

[my favorite ring shots from jalene + lincoln's wedding]

i'm going to be an editing machine!! i just got home from san diego where i shot my last wedding and a bridal session before the little lady is scheduled to show up. and it's a good thing- i'm HUUUGE! you should have seen me running around the wedding on saturday, i must have been quite the sight. and for the record, i wore crocs to the wedding. you heard me, crocs. my feet are that chubbo. haha! so anyway, now i get to stay home and focus on editing all these weddings (my to do list right now is not a pretty sight). and who knows, maybe i will even do some blogging?! now wouldn't that be a miracle. stay tuned!

melissa + michael. engaged.

this has to be one of my favorite engagment sessions this year- melissa and michael were so much fun and had tons of great ideas. not to mention killer style- don't you think? sadly i won't be shooting their wedding because it's in august right when the baby is due (thank heavens that heather will be covering it!), but i can't wait to shoot their bridals in san diego this weekend!

First day of my Life by Bright Eyes is michael and melissa's song, so they wanted to recreate a scene from the music video, i think it turned out pretty close!

don't you just want to steal melissa's outfit? i NEED those shoes. =)

i was soooooo thrilled with this light- isn't it gorgeous!?

they also really wanted to do something with rain boots and puddles-

the salt flats were perfect!

"mistakes"

i love that art can surprise us, coming from the the things that aren't planned, or even the things we try to avoid. here's to many more lovely mistakes, in life and in art. =)

megan + morgan bridals

oh i LOVED this session! one, because i got to photograph my dear friend megan, who i grew up with since 5th grade, two, because i got to meet her husband morgan [who seriously is just perfect for her- i just ADORE HIM!], and three, are they not just drop dead GORGEOUS and sooo stylish? i can't tell you what a good time we had. don't ask me why i'm sharing their bridals first, but i guess i'm really not posting anything in order these days. =) enjoy!!

abby + tanner

i had so much fun getting to know abby and tanner and hanging out with them for the afternoon! they are so much fun and just laughed the whole time. which i LOVE! i also couldn't be more excited to shoot their nautical themed wedding in san diego this month, AND to work with their fabulous wedding planner heather from AMOROLOGY! their work is absolutely incredible, in fact, i have been dyyyying to shoot one of their weddings for like two years. the plans sound amazing and i can't wait to capture every little detail!
