Engagement,e.MOTION 03.29.2010 PETE irene

Happy happy Monday to you all! I am going to be such a blog post writing slacker today and make this short. The reason being that I’m up to my neck in emails, some seriously hanging out in swamped land, and don’t want to keep my peeps waiting too long! I’m sure you understand…I will make it up to you with posting something pretty fabulous. I have Irene and Pete’s engagement session to share with you today! I seriously kind of have a crush on this couple, they are that ADORABLE. They drove down from LA for their engagement session a few weeks ago and spent a few hours running around San Diego with us. They have so much fun together and really enjoy each other’s presence (Marios Bros medley, nuf said). As we were wrapping up the shoot, Irene busted out her SWEET mint green dress for the final e-sesh outfit. I was in love, it’s true. All that tulle! Trust me, you’ll be in love too. Don’t believe me? Just see below. Irene and Pete, we adore you and can’t wait for your LA wedding in June! MUAH!

 

OOOOOH, and also. I can’t forget some of the best news. We did an e.MOTION video with this couple as well! So to view the video just scroll down and it’s at the end of the post. Remember to push play and then pause and let it load for optimal viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Engagement,Studio news 03.26.2010 SMOG SHOPPE marvimon

WHOA, what is going on??? Three posts in a week! I know, I’m on fire! Well, this is just a quick one so maybe I should say 2.5 posts this week. I just wanted to make a quick announcement about a discount we are offering. Those of you who follow us on twitter or facebook already know this, but I wanted to post it on the blog to make it “official”, if you will. SO, here it is, and it’s a good one. If you are getting married at the Marvimon or the Smog Shoppe we will give you $500 off of your total wedding package…yep, you read that right $500! We don’t normally do discounts so if you don’t have a venue yet and are looking around in Southern Cali you should totally check out those two venues. THEY. ARE. SWEET. That’s why we’re offering the discount, because we REALLY want to shoot there. Ok, so, if you know what’s good for you book them and book us, and we’ll all be happy about discounted pricing together…perhaps I’ll even take you out for a margarita or a milkshake if you don’t roll like that (wow, did I really just say that? must be Friday). SOOOO, with that I’ll leave you to the rest of your Friday and a few pictures from the engagement session we shot on Wednesday, Kolby and Chad KILLED us (only in the most positive sense of course) with their awesome style and good taste in locations (The Daily Double in Encinitas). Happy weekending my friends! MUAH!

 


yum yum yum…I could eat her shoes. (and yes, she did sit on the floor, in a dress, at a bar. GO Kolby!)



Personal,Studio news,Travel 03.25.2010 LAKE tahoe

“in december drinking horchata…..” OK, make that in March drinking margaritas BUT I’m listening to that song right now and it totally made me feel like posting today. Thank you Vampire Weekend! ANYWAY, yes, a Thursday post was in order this week since I know you’re all DYING to see pictures of our trip to Tahoe where we shot the wedding of Candice & Darren (see the post directly below this one).  The wedding was on Saturday so we decided to go up a little early to have some time to hang out in Tahoe since I’d never been there before. It was BEAUTIFUL up there, which was good because I definitely didn’t pack for really cold weather (it’s the San Diegan in me). While we were there we walked around Tahoe City, took some pictures at the lake, stared at people (I have a problem), AND found a top notch Mexican place with some of the best margaritas I’ve had in a long time and those of you who know me know how picky I am when it comes to my margaritas. Thank you Blue Agave for making our trip just a little more pleasant and for investing in the Vita-mix blender because that seriously makes a world of difference. Oh vita-mix, sigh. SOOOO, it was such a blessing to spend some time with my dear friend Carleigh who drove from San Fran and met us in Tahoe (thanks for letting us stay in  your cabin oxoxoxo). I wish we lived closer!!! Alright, so with that I leave you with some pictures of our trip, FYI no fancy dresses, or pro hair and makeup here, so enjoy my wind blown not enough sleep look…keeping it real right??? MUAH!

 

And a little bit of news to keep you all in the know. As I announced a while ago, our 2010 dates were full for wedding bookings, but we have decided to open up to doing one or two more (we love weddings, what can I say?). SOOOO, if you know anyone getting married this year still needing a photog, we have limited availability BUT send them our way anyway. We have many spots open for 2011 as well and July is filling up fast so get on that advance planning head start….never hurts to book early while we’re still offering our 2010 rates as well (wink wink). Ok ok, NOW for the pictures.

 

 

Oh Rico, you’re soooooo tall! (ok, or the snow was really deep…ssshhhhh)

 

 

 

As you know, when it comes to margs we don’t mess around.
