San Diego Wedding Photography ~USD Founders Chapel and El Cortez Reception~Jeff and Shay

June 24, 2010

I absolutely loved shooting this wedding besides the fact that Jeff and Shay are two dear friends of mine, it was such a beautiful wedding full of warmth and love and so much fun!

Shay and the girls got ready at the Se Hotel in Downtown San Diego which is one of the most picturesque hotels to photograph in. It is super contemporary with a great interior design that is dark and warm and loungy.

They had their ceremony at The Founders Chapel on USD’s beautiful campus. There were so many great places to photograph it was almost overwhelming.

Then we made it over to El Cortez which is one of my favorite locations for a reception, it is unlike any other venue with its round room and gothic design.

Lindsay Longacre of LVL Events was Jeff and Shay’s wedding planner, she did an amazing job and is really one of my favorite new wedding planners to work with. Her demeanor is calming and she is extremely detail oriented and has a wonderful vision for design.

I loved the idea of shooting these glamorous shoes in a nature like setting. So much yummy texture!

Congratulations Jeff and Shay! Thank you for having me as your photographer!

Million Dollar Tan Photo Shoot

June 10, 2010

I love breaking out of my norm and doing some fashion work especially when i am working with professional models.

These days we want to do anything to prevent wrinkles and premature aging of the skin yet we want to be tan and beautiful so there really is only one answer Spray Tanning.

If you get spray tanned chances are it’s a Million Dollar Tan and Founder Lindsay Alderson is constantly thinking of new products to extend and beautify her solution.

For this shoot we are working on Million Dollar Tans new catalog and web presence.

We had 4 gorgeous models, lots of fun props and plenty of beautiful natural and artificial light. We had an overcast day but we brought the light to the beach to make it look like a sun shiny day.

Father’s Day Portraits~ Kim+Dave=Ella~ Newport Beach Family Portraits

June 4, 2010

I photographed Kim and Dave’s Wedding a couple of years ago and since then they made a new addition to their family, Baby Ella.

With Father’s day around the corner they thought it would be a perfect time to do a family portrait, not to mention Ella is already 16 months. She was the cutest thing to photograph, her laugh and smile can brighten up any day. Thankfully our day was full of sun and smiles.

Here is one of my favorite pictures of Kim and Dave on their Wedding day.

I love this one of the 3 of them. At least Ella was paying attention to me!

Daddy’s Little Girl!

Sooooo Cute!

I saw this jacket in the back of their car and immediately knew it would be a great pop of color, look at that smile!

Thanks Kim and Dave and Baby Ella, i hope you love your pictures!
