Ben & Dawn Engaged!

Last week Aaron and I got to photograph his 'best friend' from work and his darling fiance! We had soooo much fun! In fact, we started shooting around 5:30ish...and didn't part until midnight!
Ben is definitely one of the funniest guys I've ever met. I think we laughed almost EVERY second of that night!
Here are just a few from our shoot...I have loads of editing still to do!


See? He couldn't stop laughing! =)


This was SO cool! Climbing the Wall O'Bubbles.
Dawn actually suggested it....in heels!!!
She's my hero.



I loved this...we were snooping around and saw this really REALLY cool entry way of a condo complex. So, we called one of the owners from the call box to see if he could beep us in...but he said 'No'! Can you believe it? We even told him it was for engagement photos!
...where's the love?

Well, we eventually made it in...had to wait for awhile...

But it was TOTALLY worth it!



More to come...

Have I mentioned...

that I LOVE Seniors??

Despite the fact that they are TOTAL procrastinators... ha ha! ...they are fun and up for anything!

Meet Jose.
Graduating Class 2008.
Aspiring Musician...


...and a total NUT!
Love him!

Danny & Allison...married!

This past Saturday Aaron and I attended (and documented) the marriage of Danny and Allison Myers. The parents of the groom, Nancy and Dave, are closest to my parents...but mean just as much to Aaron and I! They are the most wonderful of the caring type. They are just so loving...we are just so thankful to know them! =)

Anyhow, Aaron was the official videographer....while I was asked to snag a few shots along the side of Mr. Chad Nelson (who was a wonderful photographer...and fun to shoot with!)

So, I am trying to figure out how to post their slideshow....but, until then...here are a few (or more...) of my favorite shots from the day!

Mr. Danny Myers...waiting for his bride. =)

Allison just beamed!


Here are Nancy and Dave...





This next photo is one of my favorites!
After the kiss, they both sported beautifully, the "Now What?!?!" Look... =)




Some of my favorite shots of the two of them...


This is the whole gang...
Get this, Danny actually married his best friend's wife's sister. Isn't that cool?!!?
Now his BEST FRIEND is his Brother-in-Law. =)
So, technically speaking...everyone in the wedding party is now family. Such an awesome deal!

Her flowers came out perfect! So beautiful and bright...



What photographer doesn't LOVE brick!?!?!




Some details...


In this next one...I was playing around with not being in focus. What do you think? I kinda like it. =)




These guys were having so much fun...
I believe the word 'surreal' came out of Allison's mouth when she made her way to our table. =)
That's what makes a good wedding...feeling like you are the princess in a fairy tale.



Congratulations you two! I hope you are having a wonderful time in Hawaii!

I've been Published! ;)

So, if you've received your Professional Photographer Magazine this month...

And just happened to take a glance at the back cover...

...you might notice that you recognize the two babes featured in the Profoto Ad! =)


Ha ha!
Thanks to the Most AMAZING, and incredibly talented Tony Corbell....Abbey and I are famous!

We are willing to autograph....

...and stand in line.

Grace San Diego

That's my church.
And....it's AWESOME!

When Jon, our Creative Arts Pastor and worship leader, asked if I could take a few snapshots of our band for the website...I jumped on it!
First off, I love fooling around with crazy lighting...secondly, I was really excited to use my nifty star filter...thirdly, I was REALLY stoked about jamming to some RAD music!

FYI: Our worship team ROCKS!

Here are some of the images I snagged that night...

The instruments...


This is Jon rocking out...


So, they put me on this motorized go-cart/ladder thingy to take these shots.
The height and angle were so awesome! (Wish I could drive one around at a wedding! Ha ha!)
But it was seriously scary.


So, that's it for now.
I know I've been MIA lately...however, I've actually been shooting more this month than I have for awhile! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up here soon...
