Katie + Larry {Avila Beach Wedding Photographer}

As a wedding photographer, I get to meet a lot of people. I get to see the most intimate moments of the most intimate day of their lives. I still find myself in awe of the fact that someone chose me to document their Wedding day, because after the filet mignon has been eaten, the flowers wilted, and the decorations put away, what will be left are the photographs I take. So in addition to the details and the events taking place, I do my best to capture a key element of the day: The emotion. And with Katie and Larry's wedding day I definitely felt a lot of it. You'd think that after doing so many weddings I'd almost be immune to the cake being cut and the first kiss after the I do's, but during this beautiful beach front wedding I still found myself choking back tears as I saw two wonderful people committing themselves to one another. It was so beautiful and something I will never forget, and I am still in awe that they allowed me to share it with them.

Congratulations Katie and Larry, I'm so thrilled that you two are so happy and in love and I got to witness that.

{Lindsay} Central Coast Portrait Photographer

This is Lindsay. We've been best friends since we were just little girls in love with Joaquin Phoenix and Phantom of the Opera. We'd been planning a shoot for forever but what with me working and running a business and her rocking it as a hair stylist we just hadn't gotten around to doing it. Sunday night the photography affair happened and lets just say it was magic. I think this is the start of a flourishing modeling career for this little lady, don't you think?

Dylan + Stef {Engaged}: Central Coast Wedding Photographer

Meet Dylan and Stef. My first ever engagement shoot for a married couple.

On 11-11-11 this cute couple got so swept up in their love that they went and got married spur of the moment! Now they are planning another ceremony where they can share their love with family and friends. Hence, an engagement shoot for a married couple!

We had SO much fun, we climbed trees, we almost got stuck in the mud in the mustard fields, and we even got some fantastic photos of them jumping off a dock into the ocean! And if you're wondering whats with the pears, we had themes for each scene that we set up! I won't ruin the surprise though, you'll have to see the cute announcements that we'll be working on to find the themes ;) And the Harley? They are basically living my husband's dream of each owning their own Harley. Yeah, they're pretty awesome.

Thanks Stef and Dylan for the fun shoot, the yummy Sylvester's burgers, and for being so photogenic!
