Film Friday! It's back!!

Hi All!

Film Friday took a little vacation..he he ..but It's back!

I've mentioned a gazillion times and I'm sure I will mention a gazillion more I LOVE Polaroids!
I'm very sad though...my stock has depleted tremendously. And with this whole thing of it's almost extinct I will be shooting less and less Polaroids. So each Polaroid I shoot is like Gold to me.

If you've booked me and you specifically want a Polaroid taken please be sure to mention it a few weeks before, so I can work hard to find more from the few people left who are reselling. IF you have some you are selling PLEASE let me know!


Today I leave you with a couple images I took at Doug & Grace's wedding.








See you next Friday for more Film Friday!

Than & KimDung + Elopement to San Francisco = LOVE!

Hi everyone!

Warning!!!! there are a Gazillion pictures...

I started to tell you a little about this couple way back when. I know you have all been hanging in suspense so here is the full story.



These two are so ridiculously in Love it's hard to hide it. Each time they look at each other both of their faces light up.



Kim had contacted me via email to tell me they would be driving up from Santa Barbara to elope to San Francisco, so most of our meetings were done via modern day technology of something called : the phone & email. he he.. On their drive to SF they stopped in to meet with me to finalize a few details. During our meeting they both mentioned how shy they were in public...






HOWEVER the next day... they had completely transformed into an outgoing up for anything couple & I LOVED IT!!

Their ceremony was short & sweet.




After we hung out and took complete advantage of the gorgeous San Francisco City hall and the wonderful light the day gave us.








Then we headed out to the beach





We not only had fun frolicking in the water...







they turned up the HEAT, even though it was very cold.





They totally ROCKED it!!! and seriously They gave any of America's top models a total run for their money. They were so on it during the beach session I thought I was working with a couple from Ford modeling agency - even though Than & Kim said they are not professional models. Hmmm What do you guys think??


They turned heads too!!



Than & Kim I wish you 100 + years of happiness!!



and can't wait to see you soon.... ;-)



If you are family & friends to this couple I would love to hear your reaction when you found out they had gotten married!!! leave me a comment!! and wishes for the couple!

Vidal & Debi + Sneak Peak = Teaser!

If this isn't what you call sneak peek! Then really I don't now what is. The first image almost borders on a "Peeking Tom". HA!



Vidal & Debi are awesome! They had the most intimate wedding with only two loved ones to
witness . & me!!! Seriously!! I Love my job!! I get "invited" to the most amazing venues.

Without looking at the tags can you guess where this was??




more to come ......... stay tuned!!

What is your First... from your wedding day?

I am curious. When you think back to your wedding day. What is the first memory/image that pops into your mind?

Is it the moment you saw your future to be walking down the aisle or standing at the alter? Is it your first kiss as husband & wife? Is it the cake cutting? Or is it how drunky-monkey your grandma/grandpa got?

Or do you think back on your wedding day and instantly think of that one picture ..your favorite picture. IF so Post your picture I want to see. You can post a link to your picture in the comment area.

As an incentive for you to leave a comment, I will be giving away a $20 giftcard to Starbucks to one random commenter. Don't forget to leave yur name and email address so I can get hold of you if you win!

Emilio & Nanette: the Wedding {Second installement in the Trilogy}

hi Everyone!!
I am heading out of town in a few hours and still have yet to pack. Therefore this post will be kept short and sweet. Unlike a certain groom's speech, no names mentioned. ;-) But seriously his speech was beautiful and heartfelt!!
So without my usual ramblings.. Below are 3 slideshows. Enjoy!!

The Anticipation.

The Ceremony.

The Party!

Before I present you with the slideshow.

I just want to say EVERYONE sure knew how to party from Old to young!!

Myrna & Juan Carlos

Myrna & Juan Carlos: THANK YOU For allowing me to be part of this very special day!!! 

I couldn't have been blessed with a  more laid back fun awesome couple if I had advertised for one. These two ROCKED!!!! Not only are they super in LOVE but they also gave me complete creative freedom. They were down for everything-- even standing on rocks for pictures. Sorry Myrna - I hope your feet survived!!  

Juan Carlos was soooooo excited he was jumping and clicking his heels!! No joke! He did it on his own.  I was Fortunate to capture the moment. During the Groom and Groomsmen pictures I was inspired by Reservoir Dogs, but the guys were more inspired by The Godfather. 

I could talk forever about this awesome couple but instead I will let you see for yourself. There are soo many awesome pictures - I can't even decide on a favorite ONE.  

I will be posting more .. stay tuned. 

Presenting Mr. & Mrs. Aguilar!

February 8th was a great day. The sun was out, it wasn't cold the sky was gorgeous. It was as if mother nature showed her approval by presenting them with the perfect day.

The only regret I have is the day went by way too fast. I've waited a few days to post this, barely containing myself. I believe the newly weds are due to return from their honeymoon any moment now and wanted them to get a chance to see this before everyone else gets wind the promised slide show is up. ;-)
