Jenell & Clayton
April 25, 2008

I love Jenell & Clayton. We had so much fun leading up to their wedding that I just knew the day of would be a blast. During their engagement session, I was laughing so hard the entire time, I could barely hold the camera still :) They were married yesterday at the beautiful Clos La Chance Winery in San Martin. Here are a few of my fav shots from their wedding …

Broke Down Bride

April 25, 2008

I have been DYING to blog about this for over a week now!! About a week and a half ago, the fabulous Armando of Get Your Do Up & I teamed up to bring to life a concept we had dreamed up several months back. OK, time to back up a bit. A few months ago at the Wildflower Linens premier, I met Armando. We hit it off immediately, and as we gazed at the brightly colored linens decorating their showroom, inspiration struck. And a concept was born. A concept which finally became a reality a week ago.

Remember Sandra? Sandra & Julio were married last September at Guglielmo winery. We had such a blast shooting her portraits on her wedding day. What I loved about Sandra was her willingness to do anything I asked her to in her wedding gown. Nothing was too crazy! So when it came time to find a bride willing to not only climb back in her dress, but get down & dirty, Sandra happily volunteered.

The concept: Take a real bride, and deck her out gyDOu style. And to all you brides out there: even if you get a flat on the way to your wedding, Armando will make sure you look fabulous.

Special thank you to Karen of Grandiflora who provided the beautiful bouquets for the shoot.

This is part one of a two part post. Saturday I was out photographing Gaby & Mike at Cañada College. Gaby & Mike actually met at Cañada. So it was only natural they’d want their engagement photos taken there.

When Mike said he’d jump up on the horse sculpture, I didn’t actually think he’d climb on the horse!! What fun :) I have a feeling we’re going to have a blast on their wedding day.

They brought along their backpacks to recreate their school experience. I love this shot of them “playing hooky” from class ;)

They have the cutest four month old pug puppy!!

Isn’t he adorable???

Ella Jean

I spent Monday morning with Ella, a beautiful 4 month old baby girl. We had so much fun playing among the pretty flowers at Gamble Gardens. She was such a great model!

What better way to spend a Saturday evening than shooting an engagement session with my awesome clients, Ananda & Sean and their son Tyas. We started at the Palace of Fine Arts, then raced to Baker Beach just in time for the sunset. The timing worked out great. As we arrived, the crowds were leaving, and we were able to get some great beach shots.

Ananda & Sean are getting married in Tahoe this July, Trinidad style. Can’t wait! It’s going to be a blast :)

I love this shot of Tyas. He was a great assistant :)
