We met Melissa and Kevin on one of the coldest and windiest days! These two were troopers (especially Melissa)! We had a great time getting to know them as we walked around Balboa Park and Coronado Landing! We can’t wait for your wedding later this year!
Our baby boy turned one last week! Any parent knows how bittersweet this occasion is. On one hand your baby is one!! You made it through the first year (which has soooo many ups and downs!) You are looking forward to toddler-hood and all that brings but at the same time….your baby is no longer well…a baby!
We went back and forth about throwing him a birthday party…we kept saying that it wasn’t like he was going to remember it but at the same time..why not throw a party!! Who doesn’t love a party! Then the planning began…we picked a pirate party!! Thanks to countless hours searching the internet and of course Etsy all the ideas were in place! With the help of family and friends I got it done!! From the rice crispy treat pirates, pinwheels, pirate rubber ducky’s, mason jars filled with red and black candy and chocolate pirate molds…we had it all!
A huge thanks to on of our best friends Aaron who did all the cooking! We had gumbo, sandwiches, and the huge hit shoyu octopus hotdogs!! Mick with the Elite British DJ for providing the music for the party, Shirley the Cake Lady for Landon’s smash and birthday cake and Andy from Starlight Photobooth for the awesome photobooth!
We headed up to USC a few week’s ago for Mariah & Rene’s engagement session. Neither of us have been to the USC campus even though we have had a few relatives attend college there. What a BEAUTIFUL campus!!!!! From the brick, to the fountains to all the greenery! WOW! Rene and his brothers all went to USC and are huge USC supporters so it was nice to get the history of the campus while we shot their engagement session.
Mariah & Rene: We cannot wait for you wedding later this year! We loved getting to know you guys on the engagement shoot and know the wedding will be a blast.
Christina and Lance were married at Admiral Baker Clubhouse. We have had the chance to shoot here quit a bit and love it not only because it’s 5 minutes from home but because the staff are always on top of it and the golf course always provides a great backdrop! We started the day with the girls at the Town & Country Hotel in Mission Valley’s hotel circle and were able to capture some great pictures around the grounds there. What a CUTE hotel!!!
We were able to work with some great vendors including: Shirley Resnick the Cake Lady and Starlight Photo Booth to name a few. As you can see the guests had a great time!
This blog post is LONG overdue. This couple got married some time ago at St. Therese Church with the reception at the Omni hotel downtown. Although we had to brave the rain that day it was a beautiful day for a wedding! This crowd was here to party and almost every person was dancing throughout the night! The Padres Friar even made an appearance during Happy Hour which each guest just loved!
Teresa & Mike: We wish you two all the best!!
Kara & Adam were married at St. Brigid's Church with the reception at Scripps Aquarium. What a GREAT venue for a reception. Your guests have full access to the aquarium to wander around before and during the night. Kara & Adam were fun right from the start! From her Manolo Blahnik and his Converse shoes, a very cute cupcake “cake” personalized with sea animals and Star Wars & to top off the night a duet of “I got you babe” sung by the two of them! Instead of the typical parent dances the opted for a family dance where all immediate family members got up and danced together. I LOVE that idea and wished we would have done that at our wedding!
We LOVE the Suffridge family!!!! You may recognize this family from Katie and Ryan's wedding we shot back in 2010 at Coronado Community Center. We headed out to La Jolla Cover to shoot their pictures and a perfect day it was! It's always tons of laughs and a great time whenever we see this family!
Michelle & Alex were married last year at the gorgeous Immaculata Church on the USD campus with the reception at the Prado in Balboa Park. It was a great wedding followed by an even better reception!
Michelle & Alex: We wish the two of you all the best! Thanks for including us in your day!
Sorry we have been MIA for a while but I promise we have a good excuse! On February 3rd, 2011 we welcomed our little one into this world! It was a loooonnnnnnggg labor and delivery but I can say a month later it was all worth it! It's amazing to watch him grow!
Here are some pictures of our little guy Landon.
