I LOVE Stern Grove and am always thrilled to have the opportunity to shoot there and when you combine that with Dia De Los Muertos themed wedding, I’m in Heaven.  Andrea’s Grandmother passed away on  November 2nd a few years ago and so this wedding was a beautiful way to celebrate their new love and the lives of the people no longer with them.

Stephen and Andrea did a fabulous job with all their DIY favors and decorations, this wedding was a true group effort and it went off without a hitch.  From the decorated wine glasses the doubled as favors to the decorated salt for the tequila shots, to the adorable themed  match boxes to the flowers that Andrea did with her friend and planner everything had their personal touch.

I recently asked Andrea how married life was treating her and she responded: “Oh it’s great! Much like the living together life with pretty rings. :)”  That put a huge smile on my face, what a perfect  description.  Congratulations you two!

A Huge thank you to Matthew Gillooley for being a fantastic second shooter!

The visual experience that Matt and I had wondering through the museum was only exceeded when Mel took us upstairs  to the “old house” which has been preserved for years and only open to us and the couple for our very own private shoot…see the first image below…WOW!

I am so happy for these two live music loving, swing dancing, madly in love newly weds and can’t wait to hear about all the adventures they are to embark on together on this crazy journey we call life.

Congratulations!!!

A huge thank you to Matt Gillooey for taking amazing photos with me!

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!
