Eric + Nikki are Engaged!

Buckle your seatbelts, this is going to be a long ride!

Nikki found me through Myspace last year and from the first time meeting the both of them, I knew these were people I could get along with! Not only do we share the same taste in movies and music, we also have an Evan Rachel Wood fascination. Ok mine is a fascination. But we both saw a movie of hers on our first movie dates with our fiances!

Eric and Nikki live up in LA and are getting married October 4th at Forest Lawn. Tim and I really looking forward to spending another day with them this Fall, we had a fun time exploring Balboa Park!

Nikki was hoping for some leftover Fall colors. There weren't any, but I think this comes close!
These next two photos were taken by my gracious assistant (and future life partner) Tim. I love this one, so candid!Great smiles!!
Gotta love the shoes!

Thanks for the fun time, see you in the Fall!

XOXO,

Mary Kay and Jim are married!

I had the pleasure of assisting the talented Deidre Davidson on 1-1-08!

Mary Kay and Jim were married at the Immaculata on the USD campus. This was my first wedding at this chapel and it was stunning!

The getting ready and the Reception were both at the Hotel Del Coronado. San Diegans know Hotel Del, but in case you aren't familiar it is one of the most fantastic places to have a wedding in the area!

Some getting ready details:

There were 1 million little girls in this wedding party. Okay that is an exaggeration, but at times it felt like a million!

Love this shot of the matron of honor, Mary Kay's sister...

The stunning MK:

See...a million!

The handsome Jim:
Two more flower girls that missed the earlier photo!
The breathtaking Immaculata!
Gotta love Catholic Ceremonies :)
Just after the ceremony:
Too cute!
Details, Details, Details!
The happy couple:

Reception Details!
The Sunset was beyond belief:

Party time!
The fabulous Wayne Foster entertainment group was there!
The bride and groom taking a break!

Whew! Long day, but I got a fabulous Filet Mignon out of it! (My fav!)

Thanks Deidre, it was great to meet you!

XOXO,

Laura + Brian are married!

My last wedding of the year! And it did not disappoint! Brian, Laura and their closest family and friends all travelled to San Diego for this beautiful wedding. Laura and Brian came from Texas.


I got the pleasure of meeting these two on one of their trips west, but I had a great time getting to know them better the day of! They are so perfect for each other, always making each other laugh. You can't help but smile when you notice how the look at each other!


Ceremony and Reception was held at the Sheraton on Harbor Island.

Answering Brian's phone call...good timing Brian!
If you need an awesome updo, call Freddie at Golden Touch Salon!
Flowers by Melissa Barrad:
I love this shot :)
The happy couple chose to see each other before the wedding. (Highly recommended for Winter weddings when the days are shorter!)

The bridal (plus me and Jen) party took a limo to Balboa Park
The supporting cast:

I saw this image in my head, just before we loaded back in the limo:

Just before the ceremony, Melissa Barrad, wedding planner extraordinaire and amazing florist on the left!
The greatest desert! So yummy! Ice cream filled chocolate with raspberry sauce and drizzled white chocolate.
The rings! They are placed on the favor, a Christmas ornament:
I love this shot, probably my favorite of the night!
Don't forget to check out the slideshow!



XOXO,
