Jenna & Russell: Temecula Wedding!

One thing I love about one client referring me to another is then seeing my past brides at the next wedding! It is so great to see how far your photography can travel when people talk! Thank you two rockstars, hope to see you again soon! ;) xoxo

Kristy & Chris' Destination Wedding in St. Lucia!

These two photos were taken the day before while on the catamaran ride & while we were snorkling (see more in the slideshow) with Kristy & Chris and their families. We were so welcomed the whole trip and totally felt as if we were part of the two families, love that feelin'!

Getting ready on the big day...

This beach was perfect for their ceremony, check out the view!

Mama...

There were beautiful ruins close to the ceremony site on Pigeon Island, it was perfect for the romantic shots!

The reception was held at Jacques waterfront dining...

Then we all headed back to the villa for cake & dancing!

Instead of a guestbook, Kristy had all the guests write a few "words of wisdom" for the newlyweds & take a picture with their advice, I loved this one! "No matter how long you're married, never stop going on dates!"

Watch for the Trash the Dress session posted soon!

My brother's wedding! :)

Paul and I have traveled a lot more than expected the last few months for destination weddings, but this one is one that I've been looking forward to for quite a while and I have good reason, it's my brother's wedding!!! Though it was one of my biggest challenges, it was well worth it. A few days before the wedding, I got together with Jen & Cory to do a quick engagement session for the "practice run" for the big day. It was so great getting to know Jen, his wifey-to-be!







I got home from the shoot and many of the images brought tears to my eyes, I haven't seen my brother this happy in such a long time. I feel honored to have captured this part of his life and the beginning of a great journey forward. He has been through more challenges than some have experienced in a lifetime, but as my previous blog post says, "everything happens for a reason", and even though it's taken him 34 years to find the love of his life, I think he & Jen can agree that it was worth the wait!





It was so wonderful to spend the past two weeks with family in Michigan & helping prepare for the big day. My sister, her hubby and their newborn (6 weeks), & 3 year old traveled all the way from Melbourne, Australia to join the fun...here's Ethan and me, the proud Auntie "T"!



...family came down from up north and we had such a beautiful day out at the lake for their wedding. Here is one of my favorite moments which reveals just how much Cory adores Jen...



My good friend Janelle just started photography and brought her brand new Nikon D90 to show off - she took some awesome shots, here's just one of my favs of the two in a junkyard. Gotta love it! Thanks Janelle!!! :)
