Matt & Tamyra’s Gorgeous Outdoor Wedding | Radonich Ranch

July 4, 2013

Tamyra found me through a Living Social deal I ran for family portraits last Spring and after a few chats on phone they had chosen me to capture what I knew would be beautiful wedding but it wasn’t until T and I became friends that I began to understand just how  gorgeous, romantic, and emotional their day would be.  I was in awe of the details, colors and overall look and feel of their day,  from the antique suitcases, to the doilies and wedding dress made by her mom, to all the fabulous DIY decor …it was stunning.

These two gorgeous and fit love birds met at the gym they both used to work at (did I mention how fit they are?  Tamyra was actually my personal trainer for awhile and she did a fabulous job of kicking my butt!)  They began their relationship in secret as co-workers, but their undercover love was forced to the surface with amazing news that they were having a baby.  First came Olivia who is 4 now,then two years later little Casey and when Matt made his loving fatherly vows to his two beautiful daughters during the ceremony there wasn’t a dry eye in the house…ours included!

I’m so happy for you guys and ALL the love you have!

Don & Yesenia | Intimate Coral Wedding | Cigar Bar

June 28, 2013

On a fabulously gorgeous day in May,  Don & Yesi gathered their family and their closest  to celebrate the promise they would make to each other and to their baby on the way that will soon make their family 3.5 (if you include the furry 4-legged baby they already have).  Yesi made a stunning, glowing bride surrounded by her gorgeous ladies in their vibrant coral dresses, while Don was a handsome and proud groom with his dapper boys by his side.

Everything about this day made you feel love, it was over flowing like the fountain in the center of the bar.  Sometimes you meet people and you just know…you know that the love between them is real and genuine and lasting…when you see them and the way they look at each other and hear the intensity and truth behind their words and you watch the emotion bubble over…you just know.  Thank you for sharing your intimate day with us. I’m so very happy for you both and I can’t wait to see your family grow.  Congratulations!!!
