Sanja & Charlie - 6.13.08

Dad sees his daughter for the first time.

Wow…what a night! As the bride’s father told me…”there’s a whole lotta love in this place tonight”. I couldn’t have said it better Evo. I hope my images tell the story. Enjoy.

Ernst & Dawn - 6.20.08

Sorry for the delay in posts…whew, it has been a busy week. Three beautiful weddings and I’m eager to share them all with you. Meanwhile, here’s the last of them. I quickly got them finished because Ernst & Dawn will be traveling to visit his mother and show her some wedding photos. Tamber Bey was a beautiful location for the couple and their intimate ceremony. Enjoy!

California is on it…and it’s about time!

Thank you California for taking the bold yet timely step to allow same sex marriages. READ MORE  It is about time! I look forward to shooting my first later this summer. When we were first planning, it was being called a “commitment ceremony” and I am thrilled for my wonderful couple that it is now getting the legitimacy that it deserves. They are planning a relaxed, beautiful ceremony and reception at a private estate in Sonoma. I’ll be eager to share with photos.

Slippy-Slides…Confession #2

Ok…I think I chicken’d out on confession #1…we’ll have to come back to that one. Meanwhile, here’s confession #2. I’m house sitting / plant waterig for a good friend while they are away this week. My boys played in the yard while I soaked up the warm sun and let the cool water splash on my bare feet. And then I saw it…a colorful plastic pile… I couldn’t help myself. It was just asking to be blown up, spread out and doused with that cool water. Needless to say, it didn’t take too much convincing my boys to join me. Within minutes we all were slip-sliding along.  I loved the college guys expression as he drove by looking at me sliding through the water, squeling like my 2 year old. Life is too short. Gotta take those moments when they arise.

Confession #2… I always loved slippy slides. Sorry Wendy…hope you don’t mind….your plants got watered as well.

Here are the boys before we hit the water.
