Fina & Andi....

As our last wedding of the year came to a close, we felt so lucky to end with Andi and Fina! They are two of the most down to earth people we have ever met and we enjoyed every moment of their day. Thank you Andi and Fina for the opportunity!

We are done with weddings for a few months and will be attempting to re-charge our creative batteries, find new inspiration, and think about love.

Nicole & Phil....

Fires, closed highways, and high winds could not stop Nicole and Phil's wedding! Marlene and I traveled to Simi Valley a few weeks back to document their special day. While there were some scary moments thanks to the fires, their day was fantastic.

I also had to deal with the time change, which messes with my natural light setup. I had to break out my flashes and pocket wizards to battle the darkeness. Yes friends, I do know how to use flash, just don't like to sometimes! I have to admit though, off camera flash does get a bit addicting!

Congratulations Nichole and Phil! You both are awesome people and we are fortunate to have been part of your day!

Michelle & Shawn...the wedding.....

It's funny how things work out. When I first met Michelle and Shawn, a Vegas wedding was not even part of the mix! A few months later Michelle called and asked if we would be interested in going to Vegas to shoot their wedding! Come on Michelle, Marlin and Marlene are ALWAYS ready to go to Las Vegas!! So last month we found ourselves in the always fun Las Vegas with the awesome Michelle and Shawn!

From their wedding at The Little Church of the West, (where Marlene and I had to "pretend" to be guests!) to the reception at Canalleto in the Venetian, it was one incredibly fun day! Thank you Michelle and Shawn for everything! We truly had a wonderful time and are blessed to have become friends with you both!

Enjoy!
