I’ve been dying to blog about Melissa & Larry’s engagement session ever since I shot it several weeks ago.  As usual, here I am, playing catch up with the blog posts.  Here are just a few of my favorites from their session!

Bella + David: married!

August 11, 2009

August 5, 2009

Ceremony & Reception: Villa Viscaya
Hair & Makeup: Sherrie Long Makeup
Event design & coordination: Nicole Lisanne Weddings and Events by Design
Floral Design: Simply Blooms
Caterer: La Bocca Fina

Bella & David’s beautiful wedding took place at the gorgeous Villa Viscaya … this amazing private estate on the coast, just south of Capitola.   I just love intimate weddings!  And theirs was just perfect, surrounded by their closest family and friends.   Luckily, we had just enough time to wander the estate to create some great portraits,  then hit the beach for a more casual look.  Nicole Lisanne & Matika from Simply Blooms did an incredible job with the decor.  It was way too hard narrowing it down for this blog post!

Ami + Jarred: engaged!

August 7, 2009

A couple of weeks ago, Ami, Jarred, and I went down to Monterey for their engagement session.  We lucked out with gorgeous blue skies around downtown Monterey and started out with some fun shots with their dog, Quinn, who, of course, thought she was the center of attention!   Later on, we headed down to Carmel for some sunset beach shots.   But by the time we hit the beach, it was so foggy!   But I think the fog looked really romantic and dreamy.
