Earlier this month I had a blast being a part of Dina and Chris’ fabulous wedding at the Edwards Mansion in Redlands.  From their fun engagement session – I just knew they were going to absolutely Rock it out on their weddng day – and boy did they ever bring it on! lol!  They had so much fun!  Not only were they totally fierce (serioulsy.  Dina – you are so fierce! LOL!) – their bridal party were also just as fabulous!  LOVE IT!!!   They also had an absolutely fun reception (you gotta check out how animated their friends were on the dance floor!) – I love weddings were everyone is just enjoying themselves … made me wanna get down and get my own groove on! haha!

For this fab event I had my very good friend Nikki as my 2nd shooter – thank you Nikki – you did a fab job!!!!

The wedding season is in full swing now… can you tell?!  I haven’t even had a chance to keep up with my posts (yeah…. I will shamelessly use the wedding season as my excuse for my lagging behind on my blog! LOL!). 

So without further delay…. I had a faboulous time with Lisa and Joshua last Friday.  We went to Kimberly Crest in Redlands… and spent some time exploring the front part of the beautiful mansion’s gardens!  I LOVE this place. so gorgeous. no joke! 

I met Lisa and Joshua last year, when we had our first consultation I knew Lisa and Joshua were in love with each other, and with their kids (absolutely beautiful family… let me tell you!!).  I truly love engagement sessions … they really let us get to know each other sooooo much! I know now that Joshua loves being silly and making Lisa laugh!!! LOVE Lisa’s smile!!!

You guys truly rocked it!!!! I can’t wait to capture the magic on your wedding day!!!

I had been looking forward to last weekend’s engagement session with a slight bit of anxiety and quite a lot of excitement for quite some time.  From the moment Amanda contacted me to be her wedding photographer I knew she was one of the warmest and sweetest people in the UNIVERSE.  Seriously. Becaue I personally know everyone in the world! LOL!   Amanda was excited about her wedding, about her love for Jake, and about my photography – how awesome is she?!?!  So why was I a little nervous?…  I had never met her in person before!  … As it turned out, I had nothing to worry about – Amanda and Jake are the type of  people that just make you feel welcome… I am sooo honored to be a part of their lives!!!!

There are a few things that anyone can tell you when you see them together – they’re happy, they’re fun, they’re totally and completely in LOVE, and yes… Jake is just a tad taller than Amanda :-) .  They are so incredibly cute together!

We shared this time together walking around the beautiful grounds of the Hartley’s Botanica in Somis then we took a short little drive to where their actual wedding will be in July.
