wedding: carla and jesse

we were expecting rain on the day of carla and jesse's wedding, but the odds were in our favor as the sun came out and provided a beautiful backdrop for their wedding in mission valley. jesse loves the chargers and even has some charger bolts on his ring!





carla looked absolutely stunning and jesse looked muy guapo!





carla's granddaughter looked precious as one of the flowergirls...





james braved traffic to get some shots of jesse and the guys looking cool, while i kept it safer with the ladies...





the ceremony was filled with emotion and laughter, as jesse broke out a flask and carla gave jesse a chargers ball and chain...









we spent a little time with carla and jesse and the wedding party after the ceremony...









the party got started early, and we had a lot of fun with the bridal party and all the guests...










love the facial expressions here...







with this much excitement over catching the garter and bouquet, we'll for sure have lots of customers...

the clark family

a few months ago we met the clark family, when little landon was just a couple months old. now, at 6 months, he is sitting up, curious, smiling and adorable. his eyes are so wide open, we couldn't stop snapping pics. here are a few of our faves from the shoot...

wedding: traci and chris

we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to shoot a wedding. imagine a private estate, in beautiful palm springs, with a patio overlooking a huge pool, waterfalls in the front, and a backyard large enough for a wedding. rebecca and mia from red letter days provided the absolutely amazing wedding coordination, and made sure everything was perfect.



traci and her girls spent the afternoon upstairs, getting pampered and pretty while chris and the guys hung out with james in the casita. traci picked gorgeous, richly bright colors for her bouquets, and the flowers looked amazing against the dark dresses. traci looked super-glamorous, with her retro-hair and red lips, it was the perfect complement to her elegant and simply beautiful wedding dress.









the guests weathered the scorching hot temps while traci and chris said their vows, which were simple and special...















the bridal party looking fabulous...











we spent a little time with traci and chris after the ceremony, taking advantage of the beautiful grounds of the house...











the reception was perfect, amazing food, the best band we have seen (the martini kings), specialty cocktails and a lot of dancing and fun...























traci and chris left in a bentley, through a stream of sparklers, the perfect end to an amazing wedding! congratulations to both of you, we were honored to be part of your special day...
