Wedding 07.25.2011 JUST a few

GUESS WHAT? Rico and I survived the weekend! YES! A double header weekend in opposite ends of the state, with very LITTLE sleep (and some painful feet!) could not have been accomplished if it wasn’t for the rad peeps we got to shoot. Haley, Brody, Jarvis, and Lydia thanks for being the best EVER and for making a job that could be very challenging feel like a piece of cake. Rico and I are in some need of some down time and some sleep catch up so this will have to be short, but I wanted to share with you a few pics from this weekend just so you can at least have a taste of the epic-ness that went down. You’ll be seeing these couples in more detail in the future, but in the meantime here are just a few…enjoy!



Engagement 07.18.2011 ZACH chelsea
It’s Monday and let me just tell you from the get go that I’ve been up since 5am (an hour that normally does not exist in my reality). Sooooooooo, I’m sitting here on like cup number 5 of coffee and thinking about our whirlwind weekend full of two engagement shoots, three client consults, and one wedding attended as guests (yes, I’m sore from dancing). So between the consults and the shoots we got to spend time with 10 of our AMAZING 2012 clients…and you know what? I adore all 10 of them, which leaves me feeling incredibly lucky. Just the push I need to address my out of control inbox…yes, it’s a problem.  Thank goodness for coffee and Adele!
Speaking of 2012 couples I adore! Chelsea and Zach! Seriously. Again, how lucky are we? Just take a look at the images below and you’ll see just what I’m talking about. We spent some time with these two up in Encinitas a while ago and I fell in love with them. Chelsea, Zach, thank you for making our job not a job at all, but good times AND for being so patient with my pesky crutches, which are gone now and I’m ready to get down at you 2012 wedding! Day counting begins…..


Engagement 07.11.2011 STEVEN ann

Hey there all you lovelies….how is your day treating you? Better now that it’s blog post time? Indeed. I honestly don’t REALLY have that much to report on the Rico/Rachel front, except we shot yet another rad wedding yesterday in Santa Barbara and are about ready to do a little stay-cation action in Carlsbad this week. MUCH needed for sure. Don’t worry though, I’ll still be answering emails and calls, biz as usual next to the pool. Bliss. Speaking of emails, a little something to attend to. I’m STILL having issues with my email so if you emailed me and haven’t heard back from me it’s probably because my email has decided to launch a revolt against me (it’s had enough of my workaholism…hmmmmm), and I am NOT ignoring you. So either email me again or give me a ring and we’ll get it sorted. Thanks my dears! And with that on to the pics!

Today we’re going to share the engagement session of Ann and Steven to share with you. We met up with these two on a rainy day in Golden Gate Park and together we wandered around in the rain, made them kiss a lot, and ate pie. It was exactly what we all needed on a rainy day if you ask me. Below is what came out of our little day in the park and I must say I’m quite pleased, as I’m sure you will be too. Ann and Steven we cannot wait for your EPIC San Fran wedding in the fall….counting the days my friends, counting the days. Until then, enjoy some esesh glory! muah!
