From the desk of Ross

Hello All!
This is Ross, Lisa’s husband.
I know Lisa already posted Lindy and Mike’s wedding but she forgot the most important part….THE RECEPTION! I don’t know about you, but this is MY favorite part!
Sooo…this is where I take over.
This was my second wedding that I was able to assist Lisa. I mostly run around grabbing equipment, holding diffusers and flashes but the real fun for me is shooting candid shots at the reception! Especially when it is two very good friends of ours, Lindy and Mike. With the help of Lisa, Eddie Bojorquez and Jen Fuhs we were able to get a lot of fun and amazing pictures at the reception. There were quite a few characters so… look closely at everyones expressions, they’re priceless. Enjoy!!

The reception was in the Anza-Borrego Desert. It’s very important to stay hydrated in the desert!!!

Nooooooooo. This is not a scene from the movie “Breakin’ 2 Electric Boogaloo“. Ha!
I love receptions, along with my two favorite words at these events, OPEN . BAR!

Borrego Springs Resort Wedding ~ Lindy and Mike

This was a very very special wedding for me!!!
It was the wedding of my dear friends Lindy and Mike. I have been looking forward to this wedding for a very long time. These two are incredibly special people. I met Lindy about 6 years ago while working at SeaWorld. Lindy is a killer whale trainer!!! This girl has talent just ooozing out of every pore of her body. Not only is she an excellent swimmer but a gymnast, dancer, singer, and a pilot. Yes, this girl can fly planes too! She is beautiful inside and out.
She met Mike while working at SeaWorld. Guess what? He’s a pilot too! So is her Dad and her brother…. noticing a theme here?
Enter the wedding of the century…………
The gorgeous ceremony took place at the Borrego Springs Resort. What a stunning backdrop. The skies were clear, we were surrounded by palm trees and you could see the majestic mountains in the distance.

Then it was off to the reception. The reception took place at the Fordem family home in Borrego Springs. Lindy’s parents happen to own a plane and have an airplane hanger attached to their home!!!
The grand entrance was none other than in a plane.
YES they arrived by plane!!!!!!!!! How cool is that????
…I told you it was the wedding of the century:)

After they arrived, they had a stunt pilot show off a few maneuvers. The crowd was in awe…..and so was I !!!!

The dancing and partying went well into the evening! Such a tight nit group of people. Its rare when you find so many wonderful people under one roof.
Lindy and Mike… it was an honor to be there. Thank you for trusting me with your life’s most precious memories….love you both!

O.K.A.Y. I’m back!!!
It’s been a while…. DID YOU MISS ME??????? I was sick there for a little while and didn’t have the extra uuumpft that I needed. I’m all better now….thanks for asking..you’re sweet:)

Last weekend was a crazy one for me. I had two weddings, an engagement session and THEN a portrait session on Monday!!! WHEW I’m exhausted. It may not seem like a lot but all of the images that I took, now have to be edited.

…enter husband:)

Ross has been so wonderful by helping me out with the back end of the business! I am teaching him photography too and its so much fun spending time discovering it together. Have I mentioned I LOVE my job???Last Fridays wedding is just one of the many reasons why.

I had the good fortune of meeting the wonderful bride ‘Maggie’ while working at Sea World a few years back. She and I would chat about photography. Maggie is interested in forensic photography so of course we had a lot to talk about:)

I thought it was so sweet when she decided to hire me for her wedding…so cool because I knew she would be into the photography side of the day!!! But Nick…. Nick, on the other hand, h.a.t.e.s to have his picture taken. Did I say hates? I meant HA. a. a. a. a. A.T.E.S!!
Thats okay with me! I look at it as a challenge and he definitely came around by the end
….or at least tolerated me:)

Anyway, the wedding took place at Pala Mesa Resort and was coordinated by Kevin Covey. I have to say…it was breathtaking!!! What a beautiful venue. Maggie had touches purples and silver everywhere. The floral centerpieces by Haydees Flowers were my favorite!

Maggie…I hope you absolutely love them…..
