Vicky & Jason ~ Palm Event Center | Livermore, California

Vicky & Jason's wedding was great! They were both really photogenic and the Palm Event Center was a great place to hold the reception, 10+.







The beautiful bride getting ready...







I love shooting indoors so the rain wasn't really a bad thing, but a good reason to shoot some incredible pics inside!





We took the guys out for a quick set outside between the waves of rain. I was glad we got to go outside at least a little bit!

The Drake Hotel

One of my favorite blogs Style Me Pretty, had a post on this hotel. I about died when i saw the home page of The Drake. I officially have a goal of loosing 50 pounds and having my husband take me to The Drake for a weekend getaway. Take a look around the website, all the rooms are stunning, what better place to spend your first night as husband and wife.

BTW if you are already married, I think this might be the place to recapture some romance in your marriage and mabey even shop a little bit on the side :)

Master Printers

When I went to Cal Poly, we had a master printer come and show us his beautiful work. He did nothing but make prints in the darkroom - dodging and burning, pushing and pulling the image until it reached it’s perfection. Having seen the work he did, I was truly humbled. I admire those who are the best what they do whether it be shooting, processing or printing the final photographic prints. It's all art to me.

Photographic art is so subjective to everyone, whether you’re a purist who tries to make the photo perfect in the camera or whether you believe that the role of the master printer is still alive today, just in the forms of layers in Photoshop and not in the dark room.

Either way, the pictures you get from your wedding day can only be made once and should reflect the beauty and memories you built that day.

In case you are wondering, the master printer we use is local, Digital Precision Imaging. They make our work look stunning and we highly recommend them. We especially love the wood float mount images they produce.

Brittany & Nick | Hotel Andalucia Santa Barbara

Brittany is so sweet, it actaully was a real bummer that her and Nick had to Move to Seatle where I am sure she is the belle of the town, they were an endearing couple that I will trully miss, or better yet we need to shoot a wedding in Seattle!

Stephen & Kerrie

Kerrie is one gorgeous women, and yet be a successful business owner also! I just love the pictures of her and Stephen, course how could you not with a face like hers!

From "I will" to "I do" | Anne Chertoff

whooo we just got a blog about us, well kinda....hehe it was a photo we took at the Hotel Andalucia in Santa Barbara. Anne is def one of the top people in the industry has amazing stuff all the time on her blog, and it made my day! I am so happy I just love her site!!! Everyone must book mark From "I will" to "I do!"

Digital Precision Imaging

You must use this lab, they rock! If you ever get a wood float mount picture, which I suggest every bride do, you will be addicted to their fine Fuji printing. I know Fuji lasts longer than Kodak printing, so if your wedding photos are special to you get them printed here!

This is my honest review of this company:

1. customer service 10
2. Wood Float mounts 10
3. Color/ bw printing 10
4. prices 10
5. executive Drop Shipping 10
6. Logo 10

Air One

This sunday, I went to the sunrise service at the Rock, every Easter I go, it's just really important to me, and I have gone since I have been saved. I had to hold back tears so I didnt look like the looney bin, half slept crazy women that I am. I only slept like three hours that night, ( baby again) and it just seems so emotional to me, why am I saved and others not? I have a hard time till I realize its not up to me, its up to the Trinity! So once again, lets all put our faith in the Lord and sign up for the daily verse from Air One, Love it tons- sign up today! And pray for those you love and show love to all.

Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Album | Jennifer & Nick

Jennifer & Nick were a sweet couple we photographed on the cliffs above Pismo Beach. We met jennifer and her mom at The Inn in Morro Bay, and we were super stoked to get their wedding, I actaully didn't meet Nick till the wedding rehearsal, but he was a charmer and I def want a copy of this flush mount album from Graphis Studio. Both Nick and Jennifer are the kind of people that are real and treat people with respect and love! what a couple and the mom was hot too! On the day of the wedding it all was just magic and we were very blessed to shoot this wedding and be apart of their big day! Now as the album has come together and what can I say but wow!
