More to share…SOON!

Todd and Ashlie have been dating since high school….they have been waiting for this day for a very long time.  Actually, we all have.  Todd is my nephew and Ashlie has been a part of our family forever.  They are currently living in France while Todd fulfills his lifelong dream of playing professional basketball.  Ashlie has always gracefully stood by Todd’s side with her beautiful smile on her face, and I think our family has always loved that about Ashlie.  She truly loves Todd…and Todd truly loves Ashlie.

How much more romantic can that be???!!!!

Last weekend at our “Get Tha Funk Out” retreat we were fortunate enough to be filmed by Christopher Lee of Onward Films who is a brilliant artist and videographer!  He did a fabulous job with our video and I wanted to post it up.  We had so much fun filming this, and I can’t wait to show you more of the images that we have…..STAY TUNED!!!!

This past holiday weekend, I had the pleasure of shooting Andrew and Gila’s wedding at the beautiful Laguna Cliffs Marriot in Dana Point, CA.

It was so much fun shooting Jimmy and Kim’s wedding at Pala Mesa Country Club in Fallbrook.  It is such a beautiful venue and the weather was perfect.  This day couldn’t have been more perfect for the two of them…everything was absolutely beautiful, including the two of them!

Here are some of my favorites:

Things really DO happen for a reason, and I believe there is a master plan in place for us all….

I was reminded of this when Ryan and Shamai told me about their destiny and undeniable love that they found within each other.

Ryan was heading back to the Army and while he was in line at the airport, he noticed a beautiful blonde in front of him, and knew at that moment that he had to meet her…except he couldn’t even open his mouth to talk to her because he was too nervous!….what he didn’t know at the time is that this beautiful blonde would become his wife 6 months later.

He also didn’t know that she was boarding the same plane and was heading to the same exact location he was heading to: back to their Army base in Tennessee.

There is no longer a need for words. The images speak so loudly yet in such a calming and safe way…
