VALLENTYNE WEDDINGS

I just LOVE this magazine, and I’m so excited that one of my weddings is being feaured in the new Winter 08 issue. Congratulations to Stephanie & Kevin who’s wedding is featured!

venue: The Lodge at Torrey Pines

coordination: Kiley Walker Events

It was also such a nice surprise that in the same issue, they featured 6 full pages of my bouquet photos! My background in commercial and editorial photography means I love shooting still life and all the details that go into making a wedding unique. It is awesome to see that published here!

I knew Amie and Sean were going to have a fun wedding as soon as they booked me and my prediction was right! With a big bridal party that loves a good party you can’t go wrong! And even more surprising (or maybe not!) was that most of this crowd were lawyers! The happy couple got married at The Prado in Balboa Park, which I have to say has some of the best dinner options I have ever tried. Everything was so beautiful thanks to Diane Kern who is a fabulous coordinator and always a pleasure to work with:) Here are a few pics of the day!

October is such a beautiful month in California! The weather is crystal clear, sunny, and the light is so vibrant. All of my October brides and grooms got incredibly lucky with the weather on their big day. I have had some really amazing weddings this month and can’t wait to share them on the blog. They are coming soon… stay tuned!

Today is another year…. 1 year away from a milestone birthday… amazing how time flies! I will be out of the office for the afternoon and evening celebrating my birthday with my husband, dogs, and family:)

On August 31st 2008 I photographed the wedding of Laurie and Justin, whose under-water ocean engagement was just a few months ago! The wedding was at Morgan Run Golf Course in Rancho Santa Fe and we had a great time driving around in the golf cart and shooting after the ceremony! It was such a nice day out and the wedding was so much fun, Laurie and Justin are awesome for each other and you can really see it in these pictures:)
