Trash the dress…well maybe just a little!!  I was so glad that Matt and Kim where up for doing an after wedding session!!  Without the nerves of the wedding and stress of messing the dress up, they just had fun with it.

Kim and Matt where married last month.  I had the privilege to photograph there journey, from before to after the wedding.  Within the photography journey I have made some great friends.  I had a blast working with them…they were up for just about anything.  Photographing this couple is just plain fun.  They show there love and playful personalities so easily…not much direction has to be given….just let them be real, and there it is!!

When Matt looks at Kim it is like nothing is happening around him….the camera is gone and he is mesmerized by her.  These two have a unique passion for life and each other.  Kim’s giggle is contagious and makes everyone smile around her.  It is no wonder she is in the wedding business.

I love that Matt will direct Kim to pose certain ways, at one point he told her to grab his tie…I laughed as I shot a picture because not often do the guys start directing the shoot.  I love that!!   It is fun to see Matt bring out his Abercrombie looks and for Kim to get a shy expression that lights up the camera.

Thanks to Kim and Matt for allowing me to have a peek at there love and capture it to be remembered forever!

I had the opportunity to be the photographer for a special family in Seattle.  About a year ago the seed was planted to do a trip to Seattle to photograph Kristen and Jonathan…you know me-I love to travel.  Packed all my bags and my cute husband and we were off!

This couple is loved so very much!!  I saw friends and family arrive from so many places around the country!  The joy and excitement was all over the hotel.  So many people working hard to make this the best day ever!!  It was a success…well worth the many wonderful hands.

This was a unique wedding for me… stayed at the same hotel as the wedding party.  I had a birds eye view on all the details that went into the final production.  So fun to be a part of it.  Not gonna brag, but…I even got my hands on one of the bridesmaids to do her hair…yes, I worked and did hair.  Thanks Aubrey for letting me play hair stylist.  If I wasn’t doing this photography thing I may just be styling hair…just ask my daughter who hides when she sees me with a brush!

Anyway, Jonathan and Kristen are exactly why I love this.  We had tons of time to capture some amazing shots in an amazing location.  I could post so many shots but here are just a few 🙂

Had the opportunity to fly to LA a few weeks ago to
photograph a wedding at the Portofino Yacht Club in
Redondo Beach.  I had a blast!  Jordan and Tonia
are no doubt in LOVE!!  They are beautiful people
separately, but somehow the second they are
together they radiate beauty and LOVE even more!
I had so much fun being a part of their day.  The
overcast morning couldn’t have been more perfect
for portraits with the amazing boats serving as the
backdrop.  There were many highlights from our trip
but the best was that my hubby was able to join me
and assist.  He is cheap labor. 🙂  He worked hard
and surprised me with one idea after another.  He
even found an older man who offered to let us use
his amazing boat.  Come to find out after entering
the marina, the man started Body Glove!  WOW!  Old
school — who didn’t have a Body Glove bathing
suite back in the day…or a huge body glove
sticker on there car?  Very sweet man and it was an
amazing gift he gave us to take pictures aboard his
yacht!
