Engagement 08.01.2011 JUSTIN teale

Yooooo, Monday friends! How are we all doing today? I’m doing quite well, thanks for asking. I had a delicious rice milk latte from Rebecca’s this morning so I started the morning off on the right foot, AND I’m prepping for a few days in Palm Springs with my sister and fam so DOUBLE right foot (yes, it’s possible).  Rico and I had a pretty chill weekend with a relaxing wedding at Bali Hai on Saturday and a fun e-sesh in mission bay last night. I was even able to attend a baby shower of a friend yesterday (you wedding photogs know how rare it is to attend weekend events). So here I am, good mood. BOOM.

Teale and Justin also put me in a good mood…that’s why I’m sharing their engagement session with you today, good moods all around my friends! We met up with them in Ramona for some epic e-sesh action and it didn’t disappoint. We met them for the first time that day and they were just as I had imagined them, easy going, fun, AND ridiculously good looking (I know, I always say it but we do have such hot clients!). Teale is a wedding photographer herself, which always makes me a bit nervous (and flattered they chose us to shoot their wedding…thanks Teale!!), but as soon as I met her I was like, yes, perfect fit. Seriously you two, we adore you both. We love that you have brought us along as part of your story and we can’t WAIT for your wedding..a few more months! xoxo



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…..
