The wedding was complete with everything you could imagine! Ashley & David nailed their first dance together, their was a GREAT karaoke serenade to "Friends in Low Places" by the David and his friends and to top it off the brides mother and aunts had a dance routine to "Dancing Queen!"

Kimberly & Vic: Engagement Session in Coronado!

Surprisingly, this was our first time shooting an engagement session in Coronado! What a great place for a shoot! The beach was practically empty and plenty of places for some great shots. Kimberly & Vic were game for every idea we threw out there at them which always makes it so much easier!!!

We can't wait for the wedding in May guys!!! We know it's going to be amazing!!!

Amanda & Samuel: Engagment Session

Amanda & Samuel met us near the Midway for their engagement shoot. It was a COLD and windy Sunday!!! We had a blast with these two!!! We are so glad that they were able to withstand the weather (yes, we Southern Cali folk are wimps) and have some fun with us!

Karla & Jack: The Wedding

Karla & Jack were married earlier this month at Vista Optimist Club in Vista. What a hidden gem! This place was great! They have a great outdoor patio area for guests to enjoy! Karla & Jack decided that they wanted to see each other before the ceremony which gave us plenty of time to head over to South Ponto Beach for some pictures. What a perfect day!!!!!!

They have a great wedding with an even better reception to follow! There was a guest that did the entire dance routine to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" song PERFECTLY and the highlight of the night for me was the dance-off amongst three of the male guests!

Karla & Jack: You guys are awesome! We had such a great time at your wedding and your family and friends are AMAZING!!!! We hope nothing but the best for the two of you!!!

Chelsie & Shiloh: The Wedding

Earlier this month we had the honor of being a part of Chelsie & Shiloh's wedding. You may remember the engagement shoot we did with them a few months ago. They were married at the Barona Chapel with the reception at Grace Community Church in Ramona.

Chelsie & Shiloh: We had a great time getting to know the two of you! We wish nothing but the best!!!!

Super Fun Family Session at La Jolla!!!

A few weekends ago we had the privilege of shooting a fun filled family session! I swear they were models because they were ready to go as soon as we got there! The entire family are extremely photogenic and it shows in all the pictures. I swear there wasn't one bad one!!!

It was the perfect La Jolla afternoon for this shoot. The lovely Leslie from the 30th anniversary party we did back in November set us up with this shoot! Leslie let me know that the family has no family portraits of them! Now we have TONS for them!!!

We LOVE, LOVE shooting family/child sessions!!! It gives us the chance to capture some amazing family memories!!!!

Rozalyn & Michael: Balboa Park Engagement Session

Rozalyn & Michael came all the way from the East Coast for their engagement session...they had planned a vacation here to San Diego (where Michael is from) and Rozalyn surprised him with an engagement session!!! The expression on his face when he saw us with our cameras was priceless!

Rozalyn & Michael: We are so glad you found us! You two are great!! We hope that wedding planning goes smoothly!!!! And maybe one day you'll end back up in San Diego!!! (hint, hint!!) he he!

Angela & Elliott: The Wedding

Angela & Elliott were married at Rose Creek Cottage with the reception at Marina Village. This couple is just amazing!!! They have two gorgeous kids!!!!! They are the most laid back and fun loving couple! You can tell that their friends and families love them to death!

They walked down the aisle to Trav and I's first dance song and then danced to one of my favorite Jack Johnson songs! They had one of the best centerpieces I have seen!!! Each table had a different board game as their centerpiece. This was really cute but also kept the guests of all ages entertained throughout!

Angela & Elliott: We are so happy that we met you two!! We wish you both nothing but the best!!!

One Year Anniversary in Hawaii!!!!

We recently celebrated our one year wedding anniversary in Hawaii. As some of you may recall, I (Ann) am originally from Hawaii (born and raised) and moved to San Diego about 12 years ago. We visit Hawaii often so figured "Why not?!" I still have tons of family and friends in Hawaii so it was perfect!! We packed our things and brought one of our closest friends (and best man) along with us!!

We had our must-do list ready to go:
Matsumoto's Shave Ice: Check
Beach: Check
LOTS of local food: Check

Below are some pictures from our amazing vacation.
*The first picture is of a Hawaiian Sea Turtle that was sunning itself on the beach. One of the most awesome (and biggest) things I had seen.
*The second shot is of the Arizona Memorial. What an amazing piece of history...while taking it all in we couldn't believe that there was still oil from the ship in the water.
*The third shot is from this Buddhist temple that we visited. They had the biggest Koi pond we have ever seen. We were able to feed the fish and it was a feeding frenzy!!!
*The next shot is of random sea shells and sand on the North Shore of the island. It's amazing how the water/sand can change from beach to beach.
*The last two shots are of Trav and I. Well, the first one is of us! The last one is our initials T & A (Yes, I know, I know....T& A tee hee) T & A was a HUGE joke at our wedding so thought..why not leave our mark in Hawaii on our one year anniversary!!! (If you don't get it...email me)

Although vacation was wonderful, it's great to be back!!!!!!

Katy & William: The Wedding

Katy & William were married in early February at First Lutheran Church in Vista followed by a reception at the Carlsbad Windmill.

The forecast called for rain and boy did we get it!!!! BUT, as soon as it was time for the ceremony to start the rain stopped and out came the sun!!!

Katy & William: We wish you two nothing but the best and hope that you had a wonderful time on your cruise!!!!!
