Ashley & Ron ... Palm Springs Wedding!

2009-10-21T21:51:17Z

Grab a chair and a cold one; we have got a lot of photos to share people! Ashley and Ron were married this past weekend at the Greg Norman course at PGA West in La Quinta, California -- which by all accounts is Palm Springs? I think ... anyway, hope you enjoy the images -- I know I had a blast capturing them!

Ashley had lots of help getting ready ...

We shot a few images prior to the ceremony ... this is in the lobby at the La Quinta Resort ...

Ashley & Ron decided to see each other before the ceremony for a special moment or two ... this is the first time Ron saw Ashley in her dress!

I think he liked it!

Isn't Ashley stunning!

I think Ron's holding his own here ....

The ladies!

The gents!

Ceremony time ...

Here we go ...

The kids got about this far and Dad (in the white shirt) had to get them the rest of the way ...

Everyone was breathless at this point!

Stunning ... very stunning ... here she comes!

Ron couldn't take his eyes away from Ashley!

And vice versa ...

Married ...

The first dance ...

The speeches were very heartfelt and Ashley's sister had a hard time keeping it together ... but she did and not a dry eye in the house!

The dancing was pretty hot!

Ashley & Ron ... Table Rock ... E-Session

2009-08-27T20:07:20Z

So ... hmmm ... where to begin ... oh well out with it ... for the first time in history during an e-session, or for that matter first time during any session I GOT SOAKED from a huge wave crashing over the rocks ... I'm glad poseidon decided to spare me because one false move and I was swimming!

FYI People ... I kept shooting away and got some great images of these two love birds ... have a look!

As you can see the waves were coming in pretty good ...

Just after this image is when the infamous wave struck! Thanks for getting my back Ashley & Ron ... lol!

Cynthia & James ... The Lab ... E-Shoot ...

The Lab has some of the coolest backgrounds ... these barrels had some great features including water flowing out of them ...

Moving Day ... Who Knew ... lol!

Nancy + Miguel ... Married!

2009-08-10T18:40:50Z

Saturday August 1, 2009 was the big day for these two childhood sweethearts ... the ceremony was held at St. Joseph Church in Santa Ana ... then the bride and groom (and I) headed over to the Hyatt Huntington Beach for some fun and to capture some images too! Following all that we went to our final destination The Westminster Rose Center where Terry Sweeney had the place looking absolutely gorgeous to cap off a great day ...

Normally there is some lag time between the engagement photos and the wedding images ... let's just say Nancy and Miguel had a lot to do to get ready for the wedding and leave it at that ... here are a few of my favorites ...

Special Delivery!

Busy getting ready ...

Here comes the bride!

I love the lasso ...

Miguel ...

Nancy ...

Nancy AND Miguel ...

We had fun capturing this image ... the toning is mine ...

The first dance ...

Miguel's son Isaiah, plays a huge part in their lives ... it was a touching moment when he came out to the dancefloor during the first dance for a few moments ....

Nancy + Miguel ... engaged!

When Nancy first contacted me about her wedding and told me she was getting married at the Westminster Rose Center I really wanted her to choose me to capture the day for her as I've been wanting to shoot the venue for some time now.

Luckily she did choose me (thanks Nancy)! Now her wedding day is fast approaching and just last week we spent some time together with her man Miguel at Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. It was a perfect location (Nancy picked it out, of course) to shoot these two high school sweethearts. Check out some of my favorites:

Nancy and Miguel were good sports to crawl around on the ground for me ... we made some great images too.

I will see you guys in two weeks for the wedding!

Sarah & Michael ... sneak peek!

2009-05-21T19:08:57Z

Yesterday Sarah, Michael and I spent almost two hours together shooting at the Mission ... I love the variety the Mission provides for a complete session and the many different looks we can achieve. Tomorrow I leave for a two week vacation with a wedding in the middle ... lots of flying ... which I'm really not fond of -- I wanted to leave a couple of shots behind until I get back when I can post some more ...

Sarah ...

Michael

We had a great time!
