Ashley & Tony 2009-06-09

Ashley was a bridesmaid in Julie & Nick’s wedding a few years ago, and I was thrilled when she called me to tell me she was engaged. I photographed Ashley and her fiance, Tony, in Fort Worth. It was about 100 degrees that day and we went to multiple locations during the shoot and felt even hotter. I am surprised that neither of them melted. I suppose it didn’t hurt that one of the locations was one of our favorite Mexican food restaurants in Fort Worth’s Stockyards district–so the margaritas helped cool things down a bit.

Anne & Doug 2009-06-04

I photographed Anne and Doug on my last trip to Fort Worth. We started the session on the big front porch of Doug’s house and even got their dog in a few of the pictures. The light was really beautiful that afternoon and it made me miss summer evenings in Texas and porch swings a little. I am looking forward to photographing their wedding later this summer.

Red Nose Day! 2009-03-13

Today is Red Nose Day!  Red Nose Day is a British comic relief fund to help raise money for African aid.  Visit www.rednoseday.com to find out more, or if you are a facebook user you can join the group and download the silly nose for your avatar.  I realized what a huge nose I have while pinning this digital guy on mine!  I picked the goofy one with the glasses…but there are a lot on the Media Center of the Red Nose Day website!

We got the cover! 2009-04-28

Last summer Haley and I did a fun shoot with San Diego Style Weddings at The Fenton Ranch.   We were excited to hear that one of our images made the April/May cover of the magazine–and our images are all through the magazine.   Kyle Karges with San Diego High Definition Weddings shot this fun behind-the-scenes video of the shoot.   It was really HOT that day and I was about 6 months pregnant–so kindly excuse my shorts and t-shirt look!  I don’t show up like that to weddings!  And a big thank you to our models who braved the heat that day in huge dresses and balanced on tricky rope swings for us!   

San Diego Style weddings is on newsstands now and is a fabulous resource for planning a wedding here in town.   We love the Who’s Who Bio section and the venue guide!
