New Blog on the Way!

Its been so long since I have blogged you might have thought I up and left the galaxy! I'm still here!!!

I have been working on a new blog for sometime - actually for a long time. I recently found a solution to the last stumbling block, but have been so busy shooting and editing (and in India) that the blog has been sadly neglected.

Just thought I would drop a line to let you know that after I finish editing the wedding images that are in progress I will be releasing the new blog. The goal is next week! There will be multiply enries with tons of my latests work. The images will be bigger. Well you will just have to wait and see!

Until next week...

Wedding at The Mountain Winery in Saratoga

Kai and Sara were married in April at The Mountain Winery located in Saratoga, CA. What a spectacular venue! The panoramic views from the top of the mountain are awesome!

The Wild Geranium did a wonderful job on all the floral arrangements.

The girls were a bit chilly as the wind picked up toward the evening. However, there was one very savvy bridesmaid who wore tights under her dress to chase away the chill!

The little flower girls were all so cute and a bit shy. So I had fun trying to draw them out for pictures!

I love this old building!!

A sneak peek at the reception room before the guests arrive.

Kai and Sara had their own beer brewed and labeled just for the wedding!

Ceremony on the deck.

We had the winery van drive us around to a few different locations for some fun pictures!


The cake made by Margeret's French Bakery was super fresh and moist!


Two very sleepy flower girls!

Congrats Kai and Sara!

Wedding at Dolce Salon in Peoria, AZ

James and Jill were the winners of my Love Story Contest. I photographed their wedding in February at Dolce Salon and Spa in Peoria. Not only did I get to photograph a totally cute couple but at a really neat location!

Dolce is a small venue that is located above their salon. They have the funnest wallpapers in the bridal room! They also have fabulous chandeliers sprinkled through out the venue.

James and Jill kept their wedding very simple but yet elegant. They concentrated on a relaxed evening of celebration with friends and family.

Who doesn't like hot fudge! What a great favor idea!


First Glance moments are so much fun to watch.

The wall paper in the "getting ready room" is just super fun! The side terrace also made for a romantic little spot for some great image opportunities!

Jill and her makeup artist friend Krysten lighten the mood just before the ceremony and my favorite ring shot.

Ceremony Time!

I love the fun little chandeliers! The relaxed mood of the evening always makes for some great images.
