Mike & Mollie//Ahwahnee Hotel//Yosemite Wedding Photographer
yosemite-wedding-elopement-photographer-24.jpg

It was my first trip to Yosemite, and aside from the fun car sickness I discovered I had, it was a fun little getaway. I assisted Deb for a wedding at the Ahwahnee hotel. Check out her blog post here over on Fun and Funky Wedding Things blog. It had a handmade Chuppah (Jewish tradition, symbolizes the home the couple will build together), and even an Aunt hand stitched her shawl before the wedding. The most memorable part for me was each guest held the rings and said a blessing out loud for Mike & Mollie. One woman said to make sure you stay best friends, because it helps when times are good & when times are bad. I cried (which I cry behind my camera at every wedding, I'm such a sap). Congratulations Mike & Mollie, and thank you Deb Huber for having me come out!

They wanted to be at Mike's wedding and dance. This was their way of honoring them.

Lilly in the Desert//Lake Las Vegas Family Photographer

Lilly and Xeniah have been buddies since they were born. Both princesses in their own world, obsessed with Disney and "graceful" dancers. We headed out to Ravella at Lake Las Vegas and found all the quiet corners around The Village to photograph Lilly. She's quite the character and not shy at all. She loved to strike her classic Diva pose, but my favorite moments were when she just giggled and giggled every time we said the word, "fart".

We finished off the shoot letting her be Lilly in the Desert, dancing away to Swan Lake.

I love you Lilly! xoxo

 She was peeking into the flowers looking for Tinkerbell.

Gigi & Shawn//Mira Vista Country Club//East Bay Area Wedding Photographer

You might recognize these two from their beautiful engagement session we did in downtown San Francisco (you can peek at it here) The day finally arrived for Gigi & Shawn's country club wedding. It is filled with blue & silver and tied in with touches of Chinese decor to honor Gigi's family. The proud groom did most of the decorations with lots of love, sweat and tears (maybe just on the inside). They had a traditional roasted pig, which was so delicious that a random German Shepard came in to try to sneak a bite! (Thankfully my assistant for the day, Marcie also doubles as a dog wrangler. Who knew?)

Congratulations Gigi & Shawn!!!

Jessica K//Rockin' Romance Photography/Pinup Inspired Boudoir

I have been DYING to share these! I first met Jessica back in December when she came out to support the grand opening of STUDIO SIX A. I instantly fell in love with her eyeliner and sense of humor (and random texts of made up hip hop lyrics-true story.) With the help of the AMAZING Halle over at Ritzy Dame in Martinez, Jessica's hair was ROCKIN'!

I know it's not my usually light and airy style, but someone with a huge personality deserved the drama (hence, the fog machine and studio lights.)

Enjoy!
