Hey everyone!

Just wanted to post a few more from the Jasmine and Rich engagement session. They are a super fun couple and they sure do keep each other on their toes.

This was an impromptu session. I went out to Arizona to shoot their wedding and we decided the day before to snap some quick photos. We also took these on Jasmine’s birthday! Happy belated birthday Jasmine!!






Keep an eye out for some of the wedding photos in the days to come!

I just wanted to let all of my loyal readers (Hi Mom and Dad) know that I have a new website and blog design going up over the next few weeks. So any hitches in the site are getting all worked out!

I will be sure to announce when it is all going live as soon as I know!

“Please excuse my mess”

(imagine photo of me with a construction hat here.)

The website is being worked on by wonderful Andrew at http://www.ntbd.net/ . It will be a little easier to navigate and have smoother transitions. I love what I am seeing from him so far and am very excited! As far the blog, I tried out this new design and as much as I generally kind of like it, I don’t think it fits me or my work so much. So amongst all of the other things goin on…I am going to re-design the blog again and hopefully settle on something that can stick around longer :)

Hey everyone!

So sorry it’s been so long since my last post. I will start getting on the ball again, need to get back to writing again.

Anyways, I just wanted to post a quick teaser photo for an engagement/wedding session I just had this past weekend.

I headed out to lovely (read: hot) Arizona for Jasmine and Rich’s wedding and ended up doing a quick engagement session as well! It was a ton of fun…

Here is a taste. I will be posting more from the engagement session and wedding in the next few days.

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping out of the heat!

This weekend I had the joy of photographing a wedding for an absolutely wonderful couple. Beautiful Tivi and Martin, her handsome groom, grew up as next door neighbors in Mexico. Through the years they stayed in touch.

Years later they found themselves in California except Tivi was in the south and Martin in the northern part of the state. Amazingly they maintained their relationship and love grew despite the distance.

What started as childhood friends so long ago in another country became a wedding of joy and delight in Ventura, California. The ceremony ending with a loving kiss on the forehead as they said their “I do’s” … or in Tivi’s case, her “Of course!”.

This wonderful couple was a delight to work with. Tivi has an amazing sense of style and they’re black and white themed wedding turned out perfectly.

I wish them life’s best in their journey together.

Here are just a few of the many shots from the day:
