Katie & Kirk

Katie and Kirk's Wedding was held at The Beach Grill at Padaro Carpentaria, CA. Since the ceremony was only steps away from clear blue sea waves, we headed out to the sand for the formal photos. With great lighting from the sun and beautiful smiles all around, it was easy to lose track of time photographing these newlyweds and their loved ones.

Senior Fashion Portrait

High school senior photos have always seemed a little boring to me and I never really wanted to pursue marketing myself as a senior portrait photographer. However, when Trevor asked if I would be interested in doing a "fashion" type photo shoot for his senior portrait I didn't hesitate to get him in front of the camera. I thought it was a great idea! We had a blast taking his senior fashion photos all around Santa Barbara. Trevor did an amazing job modeling considering it was his first time. His sister Cristina actually modeled for me a while back and I am sure she taught him a few things about modeling, check out her photos HERE.

Flying High Over Cabo San Lucas

Last month I traveled down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to photograph Cara and Colin’s beachside wedding at Dreams Resort & Spa. The day of the wedding was beautiful with cloudless blue skies and pristine white sandy beaches. After the ceremony we danced the night away while drinking fresh Margaritas and Mai Tai’s. I even had some free time to be adventurous and opted to take a power gliding tour of the Baja coastline. It was a beautiful day in paradise!

Kiss Me, Im Irish!

Last month I had the privilege to photograph Jamie and Patrick's wedding in Athlone, Ireland. This was my first visit to Ireland and I must say that all the great things I've heard about this beautiful country is all true. Many of the guests who flew in from other countries, including myself, stayed in a group of 10 small cottages in Patrick's hometown of Glasson 20 minutes from Athlone. I was excited to discover that our cottages were next to the Glasson Country Golf Club so needless to say I played a round before the big day. The ceremony was at an amazing church in the middle of Athlone and the reception was a giant beer drinking party! Everyone was having a blast! The weather ended being beautiful the day of the wedding and everything went as planned. I was super excited to explore Ireland after the wedding. Jamie took us to Patrick's home town and we got to check out an old abandoned church that was right down the street where Patrick grew up. It was a an amazing adventure with an amazing couple!

Jamie an Patrick spent their honey moon touring around the northern coast of Ireland then they flew over to the south of France to spend a few wild nights in Nice and Monaco.
