Ok… I really need to figure out another way to say how sweet the couples that I photograph truly are – but until I figure it out… Malia and Eric are such a sweet couple!  LOL! 

We had a great time walking around the UCR Botanical Gardens in Riverside (if you haven’t noticed yet… I LOVE those gardens! LOL!) – we talked, laughed, and really got to know each other a little more.  I loved spending time with them.   I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in October!!! I know it’s going to be absolutely amazing!!!

I love meeting the most amazing, loving, and fabulous couples … EVER.  What makes them so fabulous?  Well… they love to laugh, they love to have fun, they love AND adore each other, and they truly love their families!  Erica and Kyle are so sweet and so kind (and so in love!)… and they have super cool (and incredibly adorable) baby boy!  Ok… I’m gonna say it – I loved their little guy!!!!! I saw him and just wanted to pick him up and just hug him (forget pictures… right?! LOL!)  He reminds me so much of my little boy.. shy, sweet, and ever so innocent!  I had to physically try my hardest not to take a million pictures of him! haha!

so… besides an adorable little boy… they also have an amazing family and group of friends! Everyone had soooo much fun… the drinks were flowing, the music was pumping, and everyone was just dancing the night away! I love my job!! LOL!!!

They had their oh So Fab Wedding at the Crestmore Manor in Riverside.

Linda and Augie were a super sweet couple from the moment we met… Linda is such a sweet soul… I can’t describe it.  When she talks to you she is just filled with warmth :-) .  I loved shooting their family engagement session at the beach a couple of months ago…

Last month I had such a fun time shooting their gorgeous wedding at The Neighborhood Church in Redondo Beach.  Talk about an absolutely breath-taking wedding venue!!! seriously.  totally gorgeous. period.  And what made it even better? having an amazing and totally in-love bride and groom to photograph!  After their beautiful wedding… everyone rocked it out at Delzanos’ by the Sea for their reception.

Designer Shades….

May 17, 2010

So this past week I was completely swamped and overwhelmed with work (that’s the last time I overbook myself in one month alone! LOL!)… I had a Sassy budoir session, a super cute engagement session, and 2 weddings (yes. two weddings!), and an amazing Alice in wonderland themed photoshoot –  all in a 2-week time period.  I know.  what was I thinking?!?  So needless to say I’ve had a ton of images to process in one week! haha!  So… after a whole week of no sleeping, I finally finished! YAY!!!!!!  let’s all do a happy dance together! 

so in the next few days I’ll be sharing some great images with you… but in the mean time – I have had this song stuck in my head for like 2 weeks straight!  No joke!  I wake up signing it and all day long it plays in my head. now let’s all do a happy dance and sing together!! LOL! 

Mike Posner – Cooler Than Me -

you got designer shades,
just to hide your face and
you wear them around like,
you’re cooler than me.
and you never say hey,
or remember my name.
its probably cuz, you think you’re cooler than me.

And here’s my little guy strutting his stuff beeing ‘cooler than me’ …

A couple of months ago I had a blast during Erika and Rene’s fabulous engagement session… they were fun, giggly, and ultra-fun!  So I KNEW they would have an awesome wedding!  Erika is such a sweet girl… just one of the nicest souls one could ever hope to meet.  Rene is also a nice guy, of course, but he is such a funny man! He loves to laugh and be silly – I think he does it to see Erika’s smile… and boy does she smile bright when he’s silly!!!  Her smile and laugh are filled with love for Rene – and it’s just adorable to see them together. 

Erika and Rene had a very intimate wedding at the Moreno Valley Ranch Community Association – a very cute and intimate club-house style location. 

One of my fav thigs about Erika’s wedding was her gorgeous dress – it was completely custom-designed and made just for her! she looked absolutely gorgeous and she totally knew how to rock it out! 

Rene and Erika – thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a special day in your lives! and thank you for having so much fun, laughing so much, and for just being yourselves! :-)
