Bernard and Jeanette- Hemet Wedding Photographer

Here's a sneak peek at Bernard and Jeanette's beautiful wedding yesterday. They are truly an amazing couple- both just incredibly good people. I am so happy for them and feel so, so privileged that they let me be there with them.

Seriously! I know it sounds cheesy. But being joint at the hip with a couple on their wedding day, you get to see how they work together- how they mesh.

These guys have it good.

They are light-hearted. And FUN.

And to me that's what every marriage needs. Laughter and playfull-ness. Again, kinda corny, but like marrying your best friend. (aaaawwwwww.....)

On to the pictures. Their reception was held at the Hidden Hacienda in Hemet, Ca. I have so many images I can't wait to share. Until the rest are ready, here's a few of my favs to wet your palate :)

La Jolla Cove at Sundown

Being at the beach in Southern California at sundown is amazing. Taking pictures in Southern California at sundown is like pure heaven for me. The lighting is fantastic, the scenery unbeatable. I love it.
This is a family I recently took pictures of at the coast in La Jolla. It couldn't have been lovelier. The kids were all groomed for pictures and were great for picture-taking but man, were they happy to drench themselves as soon as they were released! It was so fun watching them play together out in the water. They are great kids!!
We got lots of great shots but these are my favorite. Not because the focus is spot-on in every single one or because everything about the photo is technically correct, but because they are genuine. Genuine smiles and happiness. This is what I want to capture when taking pictures.
So I have decided that the pictures I love are the ones that will make this blog whether perfect or imperfect. But I love these and hope you will, too.

Brian and Kim {Temecula Engagement Photographer}

I am TOO excited to be working this year with Courtney Allison, of Fairy Tale Creations Photography in Temecula. Courtney has most generously allowed me to second-shoot for her for some weddings coming up this summer- so stay tuned!
Brian and Kim fell into modeling for their engagement pictures super fast. They were naturals! We had a great time and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them and working with Courtney. I LOVE the way their images turned out. The lighting was amazing.
I still have opening for weddings this summer if you are interested. If so, hop on over to my website (link to right), click on contact and shoot me off a message. To see more of Brian and Kim's session, click the link above and check out Courtney's work. She's amazing.

Mariah Senior Pictures-Round 2- Inland Empire Senior Photographer

Just had to post more of my shoot with Mariah.

Mariah Senior Pictures- Inland Empire Senior Photographer

Mariah and I had a blast taking her senior pictures last Thursday. The lady at Savala Ranch was kind enough to let us use their beautiful orchard to start out. Spring is incredible here in Southern California and it's actually green! It was a gorgeous scene taking her pictures as the sun was setting. I love the sun at that time of day- you can't help but feel beautiful just being a part of it.
If you are interested in taking pictures there's still time to schedule with me. For pricing and packages checkout my website (link to right).
