Tony & Korrin. Engaged.

 

Happy New Year everyone!  I know it has been a long time since we have blogged, so we thought what would be a better way to start the new year than to get back on the blog wagon?!  We had an incredibly busy December where we we slept in our own beds very few nights and thoroughly enjoyed our travels to Redding, Lake Tahoe, Palm Springs, and Christmas with Brett’s family in Canada. We played in the snow, ate lots of yummy food, I practiced my crocheting (a new hobby I picked up during the holidays) and enjoyed watching North open his presents and play with his uncles. We were definitely ready to come home when it was time and get back to somewhat of a normal routine. And here we are. We have a special treat for you to start of the New Year – Tony and Korrin.

Korrin and Tony live in Las Vegas, but are getting married in San Diego and wanted the classic look of Korrin’s home town. We could not be more excited to capture this wedding as these two are absolutely a blast to hang out with. Talk about a sense of humor! Not to mention they are a very sweet and beautiful couple. Win, win!

Happy New Year everybody! Enjoy the journey!

Ernesto & Christen: A Junipero Serra Museum Wedding.

Happy post-Thanksgiving Monday everyone! We hope you had a great time celebrating with friends and family as we did. Like countless others, we braved the traffic to be with Emily’s family in Fresno, then continued on to our old stomping grounds in Redding, CA. We love coming back up here filling our time visiting with old friends and squeezing in a ton of photo shoots for some great family’s. At the end of the week we’ll continue on to Lake Tahoe to celebrate and capture Greg and Maegen’s wedding – it’s gonna be rad!  But today we want to share the awesome wedding of Ernesto and Christen at the Junipero Serra Museum. From the small ceremony to the reception at Solarie restaurant, we loved the intimate feeling of their wedding. Christen did a fabulous job creating such a natural feel, from the flowers to the different styles and colors of dresses for her bridesmaids. Christen and Ernesto chose to do a ‘First Look” which gave us tons of fabulous photo time at USD. We had so much fun exploring the campus with them!

Ernesto and Christen, thank you so much for inviting us along on your special day and for welcoming us warmly into your family and friends for dinner.  We had so much fun with the both of you and we wish you an amazing marriage and life together! Enjoy!

Dev & Aiko. Married at La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art


We hope you enjoyed a little break from weddings the past couple of weeks – especially with the adorable photos of North we posted on Monday! As for us, we are looking forward to a little break ourselves. We hit the end of our marathon of weddings that have kept us busy capturing so many amazing couples every weekend since June. As a reward for having made it through this whirlwind of a season Brett will be helping a friend shoot a wedding on Saturday (apparently in the rain) and Emily will be running a half marathon on Sunday. Ahhh, there’s nothing quite like a weekend off!

A couple weeks ago we had the pleasure of photographing Dev and Aiko’s wedding.  Not only did we love this wedding because these two top the charts as two of the sweetest people we know, but we also LOVED their taste for modern and funky architecture!  You might remember their engagement shoot at the retro concrete space station otherwise known as the UCSD library – if not, you’ll want to check it out here. This theme of cool architecture was carried into their wedding at the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary art. If you are local, you might recognize it by a myriad of canoes suspended in the sky!  Dev and Aiko, thank you for inviting us to capture your special day. Enjoy!

Cutest Kid on the Planet Award…

And the award goes to. . . North!!!  Ok, we might have just a LITTLE bit of a bias and we’re sure that all you other parents are uber cute kids too (and have an equal bias towards your kids). We just had to share these cute images of North that Emily took at the park last week!  As you’ll see he’s the happiest when he has as many trains or cars as he can hold and takes them everywhere! We just love this little guy so freaking much! Enjoy!

December 28, 2011 - 9:48 pm

Erin - CUTE. excited to see that little guy (and you guys) in a few weeks!!!

November 8, 2011 - 5:57 pm

Denise Faulknor - I have to agree that North deserves the cutest Kid on the planet Award. I love being your Grammy North and can’t wait to see you in person. And yes Lucinda we are totally blessed to have such an amazing little man in our life.

November 8, 2011 - 8:49 am

Josh - He looks like a child model. He is cool looking.

November 7, 2011 - 7:34 pm

Lucinda McKnight - Oh my goodness… I LOVED these images of the “cutest kid on the planet”!!! I think I would have to say he is the absolutely the cutest Grandson on the planet too!!! I am sure Denise Faulknor agrees!!! :) I love you so much North and it is such a blessing to be your Grandma and watch you grow up into such precious boy! XOXO

November 7, 2011 - 5:15 pm

Kaarin - So happy to see this little guy! He *is* so grown up and doing what little boys love most — getting their hands dirty! :o ) Cutie, indeed!!

November 7, 2011 - 4:37 pm

Bethany - Yes he is adorable! Love those eyes of his. The one in the middle that shows off his eyes is my fav! So glad you did a post on him! :)

November 7, 2011 - 1:07 pm

Elissa - Aww! So fun to see how he’s grown! Do you guys have theories about who he looks most like? I feel like I can see resemblances to Jessica and Wesley, but maybe that’s just cause I don’t know Brett well enough to recognize the similarity… Either way, he is stinking cute!

November 7, 2011 - 12:39 pm

Candace Pecaut - Cutie Patootie! You guys made a sweet one!!

November 7, 2011 - 12:32 pm
