Greg & Jen - Engaged! | San Diego Wedding Photographer

You know how the story goes...Friends, of a friend, of a husband's friend, etc...came to meet with me...and their names were Greg and Jen.

They were fantastic! They are super fun and easy going, so you can imagine my excitement when they decided to have me photograph their wedding! I couldn't wait to get my camera on them because I just KNEW their personalities were going to be so fun to capture. Well, lots of time has passed since then...we had a slight difficult time finding a moment to photograph their engagement images.

So, I'm sooooo excited to say that we FINALLY were able to make it happen!

And of course, God had a plan all along. You see, their friend was able to 'experiment' on them, as she is interested in photography. So it totally got them relaxed in front of the camera! They came to me and were ready to go! I loved it. We dove right in, had tons of fun, and captured so many awesome images!

Greg and Jen, you have waited long and patiently for these images...I hope you love them!


See what I mean about them being comfy?? This is one of the first images I captured! :) So fun!







I had a ridiculously fun time with color during their session...







Holy moly hotness! I love this next shot of Jen.



They laughed so much...I love that. It means their having fun! :) That's my goal!







Greg and Jen, I'm so excited to photograph your wedding next month! Hooray! You two are awesome!

Kelly & Cameron Married!

First of all, I want to thank everyone for commenting my blog! Holy cow...I mean, really. People call it 'blog love', but really! You really do feel loved when someone leaves a comment! ha ha! Well, you'd be happy to know that your comments have encouraged me to blog again...and have convinced me that I really need to get caught up!
I've been shooting sooo much lately, and have so many shoots over the last year that never got posted...so forgive me for holding out on you...but have no fear...I am determined to catch up! :)

I know I told you I have some awesome New Jersey stuff to show you...and I do! But, I want to start out with Kelly and Cameron!

These guys are the best! They got married at the El Cortez...which was an amazing location! It was sort of dreary outside that day...we even got a few sprinkles...but I think we got some awesome shots. Check 'em out!

This was their view out the hotel room...beautiful!


Cameron all ready!




We had a lot of fun with the boys...








Isn't Kelly's dress amazing? So, I've known Kelly since Grad School, and I remember 'drawing' our wedding dresses on our notes during class...let me tell you...this dress was NOTHING like those drawings! ha ha! It was soooo much more beautiful then I think either of us could have imagined back then. ;)

No attack meant on your awesome drawing skillz, Kel!

















The AMAZING Don Room...








AND, they rented the San Diego Trolley!
Seriously, could they be more fun!?!?
We had lots of fun taking pictures with this amazing transportation vehicle. :) It also was extremely efficient in carting all of us over to the Marston House to take photos in between the ceremony and the reception. Plus, the driver was hilarious! He was non-stop jokes all the way there...and all the way back. :) Gotta love the comedy...








They were having so much fun the entire time! I love this picture of them just playing together...







One of my favorites from the day...





Another FAVORITE! I have this puppy as a 28x24 Canvas in my new studio...Oooooh...did I say NEW STUDIO!?!? (That'll have to be another post! SO MANY exciting things happening at Amber Dawn Photography these days...)







There were so many more awesome photos taken that day...so, check out their slideshow!



Thanks again for the 'blog love' everyone! It was very encouraging to hear from you all! :)

Kelly and Cameron...you guys ROCK!! I'm so happy for you! Love to you both!

Ryan & Meredith Engaged!

Well, I'm a little behind in my posting, but I really wanted to share some images from Meredith and Ryan's E-session before Christmas!

These guys are amazing. They have maintained their sweet relationship across States! Meredith was in Florida and Ryan was in D.C....and they are planning their wedding in San Diego! Is that crazy? (Luckily Ryan's mom lives here and has been an awesome help.)

It was so awesome to finally meet the two of them and to get to know them a little bit while hanging out shooting. :) They were so awesome! Up for anything, and have really fun personalities. I'm so excited to shoot their wedding this fall! I had to soak as much of them up as I could because I won't see them again until the wedding in August!

Recoginize this window? I love this building!!! One of my favs now...


But this time we went inside! And then I fell in love again...




Another AMAZINGLY FUN shot! Are they HOT or what?!?!?
Like I said...up for anything! ;)


This is hilarious! We were walking down the street and I saw some cool doors on the firestation so I had them run up to pose next to them. Just then the doors opened scaring us all! A firetruck was coming down the street. Anyway, we asked to take a few with the truck, and then Meredith asked to borrow one of the firefighter's helmets...it was AWESOME!

I wish we had more time to play, but the firefighters were, like working or something... ;)
YAY for San Diego Firefighters!!!

























I had such an awesome time with you guys! I'm so excited to shoot your wedding! :)
