Veronica & Dave!

Veronica & Dave got hitched March 15th 2009 and I know Veronica is crazy to see these! She even walked in the ocean in her wedding dress! She was serious about getting some cool stuff and we did. People at the reception couldn’t believe she went in the ocean in her dress!... Joking, it was a different day. :)

slideshow!

I made a slideshow “yay” of Veronica’s wedding and trash the dress shoot. I used 45 of my favorite shots...slideshow! Oh, I think every one of their friends had a camera too- see the pic below...

Danielle & Cory at the Beach!

I asked Danielle & Cory to come out to the beach for some experimental stuff but the water was too cold for my original ideas, but thanks to their help I know just what I need next time. Our shoot ended up being classic poses with a fantastic background! I don't think they are as tradition as I shot them here and this was a special shoot not an engagement shoot. We will see how they really are at their wedding this spring…

The first pic is my favorite! That is cool stuff... These guys are like statues they could stand still so long!
The water effect is real, it is a wave moving by as they remain still.
Effects- changed the colors from blue to daylight-the original version is below too, added Sallee Mood texture "orange" and other little effects.

Courtney is what... Married!!

Something is going on in Costa Mesa. Courtney is my second bride (from the same high school) living just a few blocks from a past bride who invited everyone over for an engagement dinner and got married on them!

The first group shot (edited in vintage colors) are their friend’s reaction to seeing Courtney walk out in her wedding dress. They were the wedding party and they didn’t know anything about it.

My favorites are the two ceremony pics where the girls are yelling and clapping and everyone is dressed normally but Courtney has a wedding dress on!

Courtney and Brandon’s pics were all shot about 3 hours before the event on Balboa Island.

Beach & Bamboo!

Sarah & Chak drove down to meet me here in this secret location - haha...
They look great and are getting married next month.

Stefaine's Yellow Flower Shoot!

Yes that’s their doggie, Porsha, a beagle. Porsha loved being held when it was her turn for pics. She melted under their attention, it was so cute! I said Porsha kinda looks like a penguin and made them laugh (kuz I’m funny like that) and took more pics.

So this was my first time at the yellow flowers and bamboo forest locations. Love them, thanks Kristi & Paul for showing me how to get there.
