It’s rare for me to have as little interaction with a couple before the wedding as I had with Lauren & Brad.  They live in Chicago, so I didn’t have a chance to really get to know them before I arrived on the wedding day.  Typically, this makes me nervous.  I like to know [...]

  Hunter & Mark wanted a simple wedding.  A gathering of their closest family members at an amazing house.  An intimate and meaningful ceremony on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  And an amazing meal under the stars.  And they got exactly what they wanted.  There were just a handful of family members, their nearest [...]

  I’m pretty sure these two people are currently changing the world. Not only with their amazing attitudes, sparkling smiles and absolutely genuine personalities.  But with their actions.  Chris met Jillian last year while he was filming a documentary at an elementary school in Watts.  She was one of those teachers that he would come [...]

Rebecca was quite possibly the most excited bride I’ve ever met.  She literally grinned from ear to ear all night and the smile never left her face.  Rebecca & Eric were so happy.  They were so happy to be getting married.  So excited to spend their lives together.  So happy to be together.  This is [...]

  I have an incredible respect for Candice & Jared. They’ve been together for many many years, but wanted to wait until the timing was absolutely right in their careers before getting married. So wise for such young people!  Watching them finally tie the knot was so amazing.  To know how far they’ve grown together… [...]

  Photobooths are my favorite.  It really creates an opportunity for nearly all of your geusts to be photographed.  It allows groups to have their photographs taken together.  And it brings out the silly.  And the wild and the crazy. Geraldine & Dannys guests had the silly and the wild and the crazy.  Enjoy!

  I was brimming with excitement for this wedding.  Overflowing.  I’m always excited for weddings, but this one was super special to me.  See, I never really get to be involved in the planning process.  Typically I arrive at the venue and have no idea what to expect.  But this wedding was different.  See, the [...]

    When they dance together, it seems that the world is completely at peace.  Everything is quiet.  Calm.  From the sidelines, you can hear the faint of sound of humming.  Their eyes are closed and you can see just the hint of a smile on their lips.  I could literally watch the two of [...]

  They have they kind of house that I’d like to have one day.  Tons of people coming & going.  Extremely organized chaos full of love & laughter.   And I get the feeling that it’s like this all the time.  Friends & family all hanging out and enjoying each others’ company.  But on Breanne’s wedding [...]

  When you meet her, you want to be her friend.  There’s something in Hilarys’ smile that makes her an instant friend.  Perhaps it’s her kind eyes.  Or her warm hugs.  She takes care of you, and Brian takes care of her.  He’s a planner.  A caretaker.  He reminds me so much of the guys [...]
