lauren + saif (part two)

lauren + saif = married! (part one)

seriously one of the most gorgeous couples i have ever met! and such a beautimous wedding!!! i was so excited when lauren and saif booked me, these two have got style and i knew there wedding was going to be one i didn't want to miss! (it also didn't hurt to know that they were going to have the cup cake bar, amy's ice cream, and the band sauce was going to be rocking the house)! tanya from clink events brought this great party together and her team did a wonderful job making sure everything ran seamlessly. amy with merveille did the floral arrangements (some of the favorite ones i've ever seen)! everything took place at laguna gloria and vintage rides provided the sweet getaway car. it was a perfect day! thank you so much for having me be a part of it!!

(love LOVE these shoes!)

marili + craig = engaged!

i met marili and craig thru a friend of mine (gina at clink events) and i am so glad that i did!!! not only are they one of the cutest sweetest couples ever, they also have the most adorable pug named otis. in addition to being a charmer, otis is quite the beer enthusiast! he really just couldn't get enough of the stuff! it was one of the funniest things i've seen in a while and i'm pretty sure he drank at least half of craig's beer. i had so much fun hanging out with the three of them i hardly wanted to go home! i can't wait for the wedding!!! see you guys soon!






just check out the intensity in otis' eyes...














seriously!? could this be a cuter family!!??







after we finished the session i sat down with them to have a drink... i just couldn't resist posting this one! i love you otis!!

beth + rusty = married

so this is my little cousin beth!!!! this is just the first part to a much longer post! it's 3.00am and we are flying out for a wedding in california in about, oh... 4hrs so i'm off to get a few hrs of much needed rest. i promise the rest will be up just as soon as we get back... and i'm sure i'm going to have plenty more to say! good nite for now.

yvonne + brion = engaged

these guys are too cute! i had so much fun getting to hang out with them. it was a hot hot summer day but somehow they managed to stay looking good. here are just a few of my favorites from the session...

jud + ali = married!

i was so happy to be a part of this wedding! jud is a friend of mine who moved back to his home town in the valley several months ago. not only was this the first time in months i got to see him and ali (and nala his australian shepherd!) but it was also my first trip to the valley. i didn't realize what a city girl i am... i'd never seen so many crop fields in my life! i always love meeting my friend's families and this was no exception. everyone was so welcoming and sweet, i really had a great time. thank you so much for your hospitality and for including me in your day guys! i wish you all the best!!!

this is the view next to ali's house







her two sweet boys gave her away



























little did they know what was going on out front...












...and then they opened the car door...





they used something like 60 rolls to fill up the car and gooped vasaline under all the handles! i had never seen such a job done on a get away car!!! i love you guys!

kate + evan = married

kelly + seth = married

i love seth's first reaction to seeing kelly

kelly and seth's rehearsal dinner

i had the pleasure of photographing kelly and seth's rehearsal dinner at threadgill's! it was an intimate gathering of friends and family. everyone showed up in their cowboy boots for some southern comfort food and texas beer. i especially loved kelly's bride to be boots! everyone had a great time and it was so fun to get see them again the next night for the wedding!
