I had the pleasure of spending the day with Sarah, Brook, their wonderful family, and several close friends to celebrate their wedding at the gorgeous Mission Inn in Riverside. I had only been to the Mission Inn once before although never had the chance to have an amazing couple to photograph within its beautiful architecture. Here is a sneak preview of some of my favorites.

Vanessa Stump came out to help and took this handsome portrait of Brook.

I love this one of Sarah dancing with her father.

On March 29, 2008, Monica & Skip were married in the gorgeous Casino Ballroom on Catalina Island. Velvet Graves from Create A Scene arranged the most amazing flowers. RoliDes Lighting created the mood, Betty Kennedy’s team did hair and make-up, and Erica O’brien made the cake. The elegant affair went off without a hitch due to the seamless coordinating of Cathy Machado at An Event to Be.

Jillian and Paul were married in the courtyard of the Los Angeles River Center. Jillian’s Aunt who is a Buddhist Nun officiated the very special ceremony.  It was an honor to be a part of their day.

Lauren & Aric planned a wonderful vacation in Avalon last week. Unbeknownst to family and friends they secretly planned to elope. It was a very cold and windy day which made for lots of goosebumps and amazing clean colors. Anni Marshall from Weddings by the Sea officiated the ceremony.

Congratulations to Matt & Jen who were married at the Catalina Island Country Club. Enjoy their slide show from the link below.

Today I purchased some new slideshow software that makes life a breeze. ‘Show it web‘ is an easy to use program that will allow me to share each wedding.  Lori and David who were married in June are my first sample….check it out!

Ok…. here it goes.  I am finally entering the blog world.   I do solemnly promise to show new work each week and share myself with the world.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with the Mello Family down in Laguna Beach. I photographed Olivia & Danny’s wedding in 2004 and this was my first chance to get my camera on Emily.
