Newport LDS Temple wedding photography - Newport Beach, CA

Brian and I did a wedding at the Newport Beach LDS Temple this summer. We went over to a park after walking around the temple. Short coverage - but sweet couple. :)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
As I am listening to my kids screaming in the background, trying to share with all their little cousins, it's ironic that I am so grateful for them. :) My family is the biggest thing in my life - and the thing I am most grateful for. My husband is my best friend and my boys are healthy and (for the most part) sweet. I am so thankful that I am able to be a mom and have a job that I really do love (and that - so far - I have had a healthy pregnancy). I am thankful for my parents who would do anything for me (and my siblings). My siblings are another thing I am so fortunate to have. Not too many people have 6 siblings to lean on when things are hard, or to help celebrate when things are at their best. I am thankful for my friends - you know who you are. :) There are so many other things I am thankful for - but I should get back to the festivities. I am especially grateful for my faith and the sacrifice that has been made for me. I hope you all had a great Turkey Day and had some time to reflect on the things YOU are grateful for!

My friend had a baby girl so her sister, myself and a few other people threw a shower for her. Again- these are so old - but I figured I would post them.













All the sisters, her daughter and mom




M.E. (the sister who planned the event) and I have been friends since elementary school!

Hotel Casa Del Camino (reception @ K'ya restaurant) wedding photography - Laguna Beach, CA

I AM HORRIBLE!!! What more can I say? A combo of morning sickness that seems to NEVER end (even at 5 months prego), busy season, deb ball this weekend, trying to get everyone in for their Christmas photos, etc - anyway...I am FINALLY blogging again. I have about 30+ things to blog - so I am going to start way back from August - and just go one by one. So - you might see Halloween shots during December, big deal? :) Thanks for being so patient!

This couple was AWESOME! They do not live in Southern CA, but their families do - so I only got to meet them a couple times before the big day. Such a sweet couple, guests, bridal party, you name it!













Love this one!

Santa Ana Country Club wedding photography - Santa Ana, CA

The best is when a bride is a past bridesmaid. In this case - the bride had gone to B & G's wedding - recommended us to her friends A & C (she was in their wedding) - and now it's finally her turn! It was a beautiful wedding at the Santa Ana Country Club. All the guests were so nice, they had a great band, fun dancing - just a really good day all together.

The happy couple


B&G who's wedding we did a few years ago


A & C - we also did their wedding a few years ago


Stunning Bride




















A&C did this at their wedding to the current bride (who was her maid of honor). When cutting the cake - instead of feeding it to each other - they smashed it in their best man/maid of honor's faces.




One of the funniest "party" shots ever! :)
