wildflowers | san diego photographer

so i love driving up the coast every week because i get a chance to gaze at the wildflowers, or what james lovingly calls the weeds. i forced him to stop last week so we could get some pictures of one of the best wildflower seasons we have had (thanks to all the rain). here are a few pics, happy week!!

tiffany and jason +1 | san diego maternity photographer

sometime last year we got an e-mail from one of our first wedding clients telling us about the grand opening of barry's bootcamp in hillcrest. as you remember, james and i were furiously prepping for our wedding with our trainer, but we figured we would check this new place out. we of course loved it and signed up and started seeing tiffany pretty regularly. so we were THRILLED when she told us she and jason were pregnant, and they wanted to do some maternity photos. tiffany wanted something dramatic and elegant, similar to the brooke burke maternity photos, so we set up a huge backdrop in their living room and went to work. here are some of our favorites...






the dogs wanted to play too...


congratulations tiffany and jason, we can't wait to meet baby brekken!!!

wedding: shelby and mike part 3 | temecula wedding photographer

after the ceremony we spent a few minutes with shelby and mike before the reception...


shelby and mike got the party started early, with a stellar entrance...

the decor at ponte was right up my alley--pink, brown and beautiful flowers...


the dances were sweet and fun...



and the toasts were funny and touching...



mike's parents gave the bride and groom a little gift...



the cake cutting was pretty clean and the dancing was a blast to watch...


shelby and mike, we are so happy we could be part of your wedding day and we wish you tons of happiness as husband and wife!
