Last weekend I spent with Michael and Marlene, photographing their wedding in Altadena, CA. The love and friendship between these two was so touching to see …. and the support of their families truly warmed my heart! Plus 80s music, a local celebrity, tears, laughter and a whole lot of dancing! Here is just a [...]

Have you ever been to a wedding at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills? Was it as gorgeous as I’m picturing? A week or so, Angela wanted to visit Greystone Mansion (she’s helping a friend plan her wedding) and I tagged along. And I’m so so glad I did. Also : glad we got there right [...]

Hurrah! Chris and Nichole got married a week ago – last Friday at Q’emiln Park in Post Falls, Idaho. It was just gorgeous … between all the lovely details, the gorgeous locale and the good-looking bride and groom …. how could these images be anything but lovely?

Amazing wedding last Sunday in Las Vegas … … stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!
