Congratulations you two!!! Have a great honeymoon!!!

Lisa & Tyler Wedding at the Ayres Hotel

Lisa & Tyler chose this beautiful courtyard at the Ayres Hotel in Costa Mesa to celebrate the most important day of their lives together....and I was honored to be a part of it. The day couldn't have been more perfect. There was a warmth in the air with a cool breeze as she walked down the aisle. Both Tyler and Lisa shared this glow as they saw eachother, it was like they were the only ones there.






I loved the look of this courtyard...it had this nostalgia about it. It was beautiful.









Mr. & Mrs. Quaranta.....CONGRATULATIONS!!! I wish you a truly wonderful life together!

Amy & Derek Barro~Santa Fe Springs Wedding

Marie and I had the pleasure of shooting this fun and gorgeous looking couple  at the Clark Estate in Santa Fe Springs....it was so beautiful there and we were super excited to shoot!! There was no doubt the the pics were gonna be AMAZING! The venue is so beautiful and gives this romantic, nostalgic ambiance.

We began in Amy's room, where she was getting ready, her dress was beautiful!! And all the bridemaids looked incredible....it was definitely gonna be a very nice day.

I just loooved all of the lavender details....even the boutonnieres were lavender!

 
They had worked on their own choreographed number that was awesome!!
 





 
Thank you soo much Mr. & Mrs. Barro for making us part of such a wonderful day! Congratulations!!

I'm melting...

I'm literally melting, I picked my Dylan up from class and I could feel the sweat drops seeping down underneath my sunglasses....I know I probably looked disgusting. Plus I actually tried doing my makeup and hair today considering the last week and a half I've been barely able to force myself to get dressed in "non-pajama" clothes...*enid*.....hahaha...

Then we rushed to get backed to are non-working un-airconditioned car and in the process the sprinklers came on, I just imagined running through them stroller and all!! Just shaking my hair around like a wet dog...hahaha....yea, that didn't happen, I told the boys they could run through....in fact I tried convincing them...they didn't go for it....they're crazy.

We got into our 100 degree car, burnt my hands on the door handles, burnt my hands on the seat belts....hauled a** all the way to Walgreens to get a dogfood and a plug outlet (since the nite before I zapped myself, cause I'm a clutz), and because I dreaded the idea of going back to the car....I started to wander....the kids faces were red, Dallas' was passed out in the basket and we're ALL melting....so I figured that if we walked around long enough that we'd cool down.....riiiiight....lol....that just fills UP the basket.....

I'm a doddler....

Anyways I ended up driving home (after putting most the stuff in the basket back) with icecreams melting in OUR hands!!! It was everywhere!! Plus ALL of the windows were down, so the icecream blew all over us and mine Dallas' hair was covered in icecream....

Ugh....I'm totally melting today...

Vanessa & Greg Gallegos' Wedding at Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa...part 2

So as I've edited up these pictures, I've come to realize that....well....I really like them all! I really had a hard time choosing between my faves....as you'll be able to see. Vanessa had this gorgeous birdcage veil and her eyes were absolutely amazing under it....both her and Greg looked amazing....their wedding party was a blast and both Marie and I had a great time at this wedding...













































Then they danced the night away....



I could keep posting so much more, but if I did that it'd practically be an online album....

Vanessa & Greg, you guys ROCK!! Thanks so much for letting us be part of this amazing day....we wish you all the love in the world....CONGRATULATIONS!!
