Sneak Peek! Emilio & Nanette: the Wedding {Second Installement in the Trilogy}

CONGRATULATIONS MR & MRS LOPEZ!!!!!!!!!!!

(and the crowd goes wild)



I have to start by saying this was a SUPER fun wedding and HUGE. The church was packed. When I ran up to the balcony to take pictures I almost didn't fit!!

I did a sneak peek at the reception, so the following sneak peek is a few different images. I don't want to bore you ;-)

I have so much to say, Not as much as Emilio, the groom, but yes alot. So I think I will save it for the next posting.

For now I will leave you with this really LONG teaser.



Emilio wanted to start his new life right:
Clean shaven, good thing the Barber knew what she was doing- that blade sure was sharp.



My favorite brides are the ones who LOVE their shoes!! Hello, My name is Mariana and I am a shoe addict. I had seen these shoes way before the wedding date and I was looking forward to the wedding day to shoot them!! Here you can see that even the heavens were loving them!!



The dress was just as Heavenly!!



Nanette didn't need as much work as Emilio - she's beautiful, and has a smile to light up a whole city!!



Here comes the bride....Well sorta



Hanging out, guys have it so easy Shave, Shower and ... Wait around:
;-P

they sure did tear up the dance floor Right form the first dance:


and the apples don't fall too far from the tree:
the two boys are the cutest ring bearers ever... What is the age for "So you think you can dance?" because these two could definitely take FIRST PLACE



slowing it down:



No Mexican wedding is complete without the mariachis. And I do LOOOOOOVE Mariachis!!!

I leave you with 2 more...





Oh and yes there were more people than just the bride and groom.. the family is pretty big stay tuned for images of them.

Introducing K. Hobbes

I met Yan at my old day job in High tech. He had the (mis) fortune to be assigned a desk within a 6 desk radius of mine. Typically it's far enough to not hear the person sitting that "far away", however not with me- my voice carries. We quickly became friends and he was part of our morning mash up of random current event chats.
A year or so later he tells us his wife and him will be having a baby. My reaction was : "You're going to be a dad? That baby is in trouble??" Now I said this with all the love in the world - remember I mentioned he's a software engineer- they tend to get so focused they forget about the world around them.
I got an instant message from him late one night asking if I would do some newborn portraits. I was sooo excited, also it would be my first time meeting this little guy in person.

K. Hobbes is just a few weeks old. It was so great he still has baby fuzz on his long tiny body!



K.Hobbes is already King of the house!


















I saw Yan change his tiny little diaper and it was soo amazing. He didn't even make a face at the nasty poo. SO I take it all back. He is such a GREAT dad!





And Yuhi is just as awesome of a mom!!



This little one is lucky! He has been given great parents.



Thanks Yan & Yurhi for trusting me with your precious little one.

Jose + Veronica = Baby Love

Meet the mommy:



Meet the daddy:



And the baby.... Oh he's coming soon.



This couple was so nice. They were very shy and very quiet. Which scared me a little, but not because of them. I am sooo outgoing and kinda loud I didn't want to scare THEM! I think I didn't- I hope. ;-)

There are soo many images. I am the luckiest photographer ever!!! I always get the cutest couples so picking 2 or 3 favorites is IMPOSSIBLE!! See for yourselves!







I have a few loves in life. They are all photo related too! My first is B&W images, and my second is Polaroids!!





a little B&W love:


and the main attraction:



I can't wait to meet this little Angel!!

Coming Soon..

No pun intended. The full blog will be up shortly. Hopefully before the baby is born. The due date is any day now.

So it will be a mad rush to see "who" gets here first. The full blog or the baby. ;-)
