Garcia Wedding favorites and slideshow

Happy new year everyone! I am very excited for 2008 to start off. I actually worked my very last wedding of 2007 and very 1st of 2008 all in the same night as a second shooter for the fabulous Will Parris of Parris studios. More on that later. I was very caught up in processing and print orders for the past few weeks and here are my favorites from Samantha and Roberts wedding along with their slideshow link. I can't wait to share all the wonderful things coming this year.
Samantha and Robert were married at the oh so dreamy Guasti Villa in Ontario CA. As mentioned before, I brought along the artistic photog, Lisa Fitts. We had a wonderul time shooting together and I could not have pulled this one off alone. We shot everything without any sunlight. Thankfully the ceremony was beautifully lit and super romantic. Here is a moment she caught during their first dance as Husband & Wife. I love it!

Thanks so much Lisa! Heres us at the close of the night!

Here is a cute little moment with Sam and her sister as they were headed back to the counter after a make-up check!

Samantha had such an amazing dress. I was blown away with all the breath-taking wedding fashions from '07, so much fun and one of the moments I look forward to photographing so very much!

Since their wedding was at a vineyard, I had some fun with grapes. Here is the sandra salisbury ring shot of the night.

Worlds most adorable flower girl, not at all afraid of the camera! Just hanging out before the ceremony.

And this is my favorite shot of the day. I love the lighting and the moon up there in the heavens. I also love the giant night sky that hangs overhead.

and some spin for fun

a few night portraits. I get all in gear for allowing light to fall where ever posible, It's fun and challenging and really moody! Love it....

and a goodnight kiss!

Here is the link to the slideshow Thanks to Sam and Robert for having Lisa and me along for your enchanting day. I really had a great time photographing your day.

Sunday Sunday

I love my Sundays with my family. I try not to work, and instead do as is intended on this day and rest. I was taken hostage by a migraine headache yesterday and it completely ruined my weekend plans. So now all my items on the get stuff done list have been pushed to this week. So to relax myself and prepare for the craziness that is my life and love, here is a pretty little picture I took this summer during my fabulous family Oregon vacation.

Ryan & Jessica LDS in Redlands CA

I was so Jazzed to shoot this wedding with Drewb on Novmber 10th. I had never shot at the Redlands LDS temple, I have to tell you it is just as beautiful as the rest! Drew was so sweet and brought me an early b-day gift. I think she really appriciated that I was working with her on the day before I became old, but working with Drew is more of a privilage than a job! So thanks, Drew, again for the gift.. you know I needed it.. and for letting me work with you all year! I really enjoyed watching you and shooting so many awesome weddings along side you!. You really know how to work a wedding party!

Jessica and Ryan planned a beautiful day with lots of picture time. They are both very cute and super sweet. It was great shooting their pictures all day! Here are some hot shots from the day:

And my favorite shot of the day:

Nicole and Mike and my friend DrewB

One of my last weddings with Drew this year was of course an awesome one! We had HOURS to shoot the weddng party and B+G at the historic and beautiful San Juan Capistrano Mission. And then the wedding at the El Adobe right down the street. This was a fun day for m becaus I happen to be a member of the Fiesta Association for the city. She brought along Jen to assist, who is also a fab photog. Here are some cool pics from their wedding day.

Andrew and Elizabeth photographer picks

I have been a busy busy bee working on getting these pictures to Andrew and Elizabeth that I realized just the other day, I never gave their engagement session its proper blog honor! I really enjoyed spending a few hours with them at the happiest place on earth. I wish I could do all my e-sessions their. I am so excited for their wedding in May of 08. Check back for a slideshow soon! Sooting at Disneyland was AMAZING! The magical place was extra special for A+E because he proposed to her here. We couldn't get through the castle that day which is where he popped the big question, but we got as close as we could.

The lighting was so yummy!




Some shutter fun with the crowds.


I really loved this wall, It was a perfect time of day and Andrew and Liz were great subjects. They are so in love, it really is the best job! Taking pictures of people who really fit together and let their love shine through in the images is a blessing!
This is my favorite shot of the day. below
