David & Charmin’s Fabulous Fall Wedding | La Mirada | Monterey

October 31, 2013

When Charmin explained her venue and even when we checked out pictures online, I  never could’ve imagined that it would be as fabulous as it was and such a perfect fit for these two.  Although it’s clear from the all the love and joy that surrounded their fabulous wedding day that they could’ve gotten married in a parking lot and it still would’ve have been perfect because for Charmin and David the love they have for each other is what’s important. Not only that, but they have so much family and so many amazing friends who love them that their day never felt stressful once…just happy excitement

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!

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!
