My career…..Oh how I LOVE thee!!!!!!!!!

Jacqie and Dan are two of the reasons why. I felt like I have so much in common with them and we just clicked. Jacqie and I have been in communication since she booked me…and I just love that… and hope it continues. Its so much fun when the brides become friends of mine!

Jacqie, all I can say is WHOLYPHOTOGENIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geeez girl…you are stunning!

These two got married at the Contemporary Museum of Art in La Jolla. It is such a GREAT location because you are right near the ocean and there are a million places to take pictures!!!! and its a stones throw from where I got married.

The scenery doesn’t get much better:)

Oceanside beach wedding

Okay here is where I usually start talking about the venue or the coordinator or something. This time I want to start talking about the couple….because they couldn’t have been more fantastic!!!
Tannette and Tyler hired me to photograph their wedding. They were already technically married so no engagement session was needed. Usually, I will meet up with the couple ahead of time for a session to get them comfortable with the camera and with me.
Tannette and Tyler didn’t need that “get comfortable” session because they were absolute naturals in front of the camera!!!!
These two decided to get married on the beach in Oceanside California and have their reception on a nearby condo rooftop.
This is one of my favorite weddings to date! I am actually in the process of making a sample album out of these images because I love them so much. I hope you do as well. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Not only are Tannette and Tyler wonderfully sweet, they are gorgeous to boot!

They’re finally here….OUR WEDDING photos!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes…..you heard that right, after MUCH anticipation…my wedding pictures are in my hands!
I thought I would share with all of you since some of you have checked in periodically to bust my chops (just kidding!!!). I’ve been very excited to see them as well!! Thanks for all of the support (janey especially)

I want to start off with my new family. I just ADORE Darnell and Jim (my mother and father-in-law on the righthand side of the picture).
They are everything you could hope for and MORE when marrying into a family.

Now I’d like to fill you in on a little history…the number 26 has always been a very special number for me. My address growing up was 26….I moved to San Diego (my favorite place on earth) when I was 26….26 has always popped up ( in a good way!) in some way or another. Well, it turns out, the beach house where we had our wedding reception was none other than……..

Nathan Petty and Nic Dragomire were our photographers…check out what they came up with. The ceremony was at Cuvier Park in La Jolla and the reception took place in Mission Beach. Nathan, our main photographer, EVEN did a trash the dress session with us at the end so be sure to check out all 26! images!!!!!!!

My parents are divorced and have been since I was 5. So…I decided to have them BOTH walk me down the isle….I am so glad I did. It is the only time I have had a picture of my parents together.

Orfilia Vineyards….a beautiful winery wedding

There is SO much to discover here in San Diego county. Everytime I photograph a San Diego wedding, it seems I’m discovering this place for the first time. I just love that every wedding is completely different from one another. Each bride has their own story to tell.

Orfilia Vineyards is located in Escondido and I must say, the setting for Daniel and Molly’s wedding was beautiful!!! Julie from The Best Wedding for You was coordinating the thing, so you know it went off without a hitch!

Lets start off with a punch! Molly was one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen….
as her mom says “beautiful both inside and out”.

Molly went with a very traditional approach and kept her veil over her face until the first kiss. I really liked it a lot:)

Molly wore cowboy boots and Daniel had the cowboy hat. I love how it adds so much personality to the look.

Jewish wedding at the Four Points Sheraton

Lynn Dao invited me along to photograph Dmitriy and Diana’s wedding. It took place at the Four Points Sheraton here in San Diego. There was so much culture to this wedding! Most of the time they were speaking Russian and I didn’t understand a word they were saying. You would think with my Polish background I would have picked up a thing or two…but I don’t know a lick of Polish either!

Here is the dashing bride Diana….she looked like she could be royalty

Wedding at Immaculata and Rancho Valencia

Heather of Vallentyne Photography invited me along to photograph the wedding of Vince and Jillian. These two got married at Immaculata at USD and had their reception at the beautiful Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa.
Every where you turned at Rancho Valencia there was a new and amazing place to take pictures. I just loved the way they landscaped and decorated the place…… (unfortunately you won’t get to see that because I LOVE to shoot close-ups)

Here is the bride, Jillian, getting a glimpse of herself for the first time all dressed up
