Meet Chanel & Justin! I met Chanel way back in college when we attended the same church. She just recently finished 6 years in the Air Force- congrats, Chanel and thanks for your service! Her hubby-to-be Justin is currently serving our country in the Air Force as well. For their engagement session, we drove out to the place where Chanel grew up- her family’s ranch in Potrero. I love that we were able to shoot at a location that means a lot to her and holds a lot of childhood memories! Chanel and Justin- I’m looking forward to photographing your wedding in May! :)

Meet Lucia and Landon! I met these lovebirds when they drove out from Palm Desert for their engagement session a week and a half ago. We had only been on one Skype date, and they decided to book me as their wedding photographer! :) I am so honored. Lucia and Landon were brave (and athletic) enough to make the 1-mile hike out to the Daley Ranch in Escondido- trust me, when you’re carrying three outfit changes it’s a lot of work! Hehe :) I loved getting to know a little bit more about their lives and their relationship during our session, and can’t wait for their ranch wedding next September! Congrats, L & L. :)

Meet Jacque & Garrett! I photographed their engagement session in the freeeeezing cold a few weeks ago up in our local mountains. Okay, it may have only been like 50 degrees, but it might as well have been arctic for this San Diego girl. :) These two toughed it out with smiles on their faces, though! I’ve known Jacque for a few years now- she is quite the artist and graphic designer. I trust her backyard wedding will be brimming with creativity. :) Congrats, Jacque & Garrett! I’m looking forward to photographing your big day!

Oh, and on a technical note? Yesterday and today’s blog posts are the first posts I’ve ever (successfully) scheduled to publish in advance! Hehe… I’m a nerd. :) Meanwhile… I’m over at the Pictage PartnerCon 2011. Go check it out. :)

Meet Jeanette and Eric! I photographed their engagement session up in the local mountains last week… it was a beautiful, warm fall day! The trees are just starting to turn colors… I love this time of year! Jeanette and Eric were such a pleasure to photograph- they are adventurous and love to camp so they were up for hiking across fields and streams to get a great picture. :) Jeanette is so creative and crafty… I can’t wait to see what she creates for their backyard wedding next May!

Meet Analisa & Trent… be prepared- they are oober-adorable! Although, a few of you may have already met Analisa- she has been one of my second-shooters for several years now! I have known Analisa for quite some time… since she was in elementary school I believe. These high school sweethearts just recently celebrated their 6-year anniversary together and will tie the knot next summer! I can’t wait to photograph their wedding… their engagement session was so much fun! We rented a few boats up at Lake Cuyamaca and got some great shots. Analisa and Trent… you guys are so so so cute. I’m so happy to be your photographer! :)
