Gloria & Adam's Vineyard Celebration

Gloria and Adam's wedding was one of the most fun events I have covered. Her friends in the choir sang the most heavenly songs during the ceremony, she loved going crazy in front of the camera, there were games during the reception and I heard some of the best speeches I could imagine. Congratulations Gloria and Adam!
Gloria and her classic beauty...lovely!!

Gloria and her mom waiting to see if her dad will come through with a huge grin for the camera. Almost! Later that night while he was dancing, there were plenty captured. Yeah! Mission accomplished!

"The pictures are beautiful and we had a great time looking through them! I couldn't stop smiling as I clicked on each picture. I honestly had no idea my dad teared up as much during the ceremony, though Adam knew his mom would. You did such a wonderful job of capturing so many wonderful emotions and memories on film, I felt like I was reliving the wedding again."
"...additionally we wanted to say that we were very impressed with you and your assistant the day of the wedding! We loved how friendly, patient, and professional you both were, and how easily you were able to work with people of varying personalities and comfort in front of the camera." Gloria -Aug 26, 2010

Liz & Stephen- A Pasedena Wedding Paradise

I have worked with Liz many times over the past 5 years- before she had even met her fiance, Stephan. We have had such a wonderful working relationship so when she asked me to photograph her big day, I was over-joyed! Congratulations to a lovely and truly loving couple.

"Can you believe it? I am GETTING MARRIED!!"

"I had always envisioned getting ready in my parent's bedroom. It's just perfect."
Time to hit the aisle!

Yes Stephen, you really do resemble James Bond!!



Stephan never failed to let loose in front of the camera. We had a blast.
Too cute!
Guests enjoyed views to that lit up the night... Stephan's mom taken over by her emotions during the Mother/Son dance

"Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for working with us and capturing our day. I had a dream of working with you a long time ago and my wish came true! I am the most lucky girl and hope that you will continue to capture my family's most momentous and special occasions in the future. My parents absolutely adored you and your work brought thears to their eyes! Thank you so very much for your talent, your spirit and kind heart." Liz- July 28, 2010
