Disneyland Engagement Photography - { Krystal & Anthony : Engaged! }

So I have known Krystal and Anthony for quite a while now. We all used to go to the same church back in high school, and Krystal and I had a few classes together. But I would say we really became good friends while I was planning my own wedding. She was so supportive and was always there to listen to all my crazy plans. When it came down to my big day, she was 100% there to help along with my bridesmaids – no questions asked! :) ……she was even there for my one “moment” of the whole day that I almost lost it (just for a second) when I realized that my flowers (that I was so sooo excited about) – did not turn out at all how I ordered them – and guess who made the phone call before I could mess up my fresh make up? Yup, Krystal! Let me tell you, Good friends are there to call florists and tell them how it is. Needless to say – Krystal took care of business and mostly every thing was fixed. You may be wondering what the point of this story is….. Well basically, that Krystal is an amazing girl who is there when you need a friend (not only just to take care of the flowers either), and I could not be any happier for her and Anthony. Krystal and I were talking about me shooting her wedding next September and I was really excited after hearing about all the beautiful details. Then…. I was asked to be a bridesmaid!! How cool is that? So the first people we both thought of after that was Matt and Molly of Mathieu Photography (who did an amazing job shooting my wedding). So I am really excited that they will be shooting Krystal and Anthony’s wedding!

Krystal and Anthony wanted to take their engagement pictures at the ridiculously fun California Adventure…… as you can see below…..we had a blast.

As you would expect, we had an awesome time!

P.s. I know my posts are way long.....I cant help it though. I dont know how you photographers are able to narrow them down. I will have to work on it ;)

The OC Fair

Okay so I know I am really late on this post - but I did go to the fair this year, and here is some proof.

Lovin the colors!

(Dani, don't kill me for posting this one...... its just so fun)

The fair = delish BBQ and Australian potatoes!

Annnnndddd of course a couple of the hubby and I .........


One more photo booth strip to add to the collection!

Oh how I would LOVE to shoot an engagement session at the fair one of these days.

Pimp my Ride

Sooooo maybe I did not get to go on Pimp my Ride and meet Xzibit.....but my ride did get a bit of a make over. Its pretty hot.

Who would have thought that finding the most gigantic Hello Kitty sticker with bling to match would be that hard to find. Well, I ended up having to have it custom made, and Melanie over at the fab Etsy store If Walls Could Talk did an amazing job creating exactly what I wanted.I highly suggest sending her a message if there is any thing you want custom made.

(sorry for the bad camera phone picture)

You are going to have to see it in person though becasue the bling is not limited to the back window. Its all very exciting.

So this should hold me over in the fun depatment untill I am able to buy myself a nice new car ;)

Oh man....my husband is really looking forward to driving this little thing around town now! ;)

San Diego Wedding Photography - { Heather & Willy : Married! }

Heather is my gorgeous cousin! Shes actually my husbands cousin , but we have known each other for almost 8 years and is as close to family as I have ever had. I love her with all my heart and could not be any happier for her and Willy . They make the most perfect couple - constantly showing what true love really is. I cannot wait to see all the perfect things that the future has in store for them. I did not shoot her wedding, but did snap a few while enjoying her amazing wedding (while staying out of her photographers way!) ;) .

The ceremony & Reception was held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina.
This was the view from our hotel room at the hotel they got married at.
They had pretty much the same view at the ceremony and reception....amazing!

Saying that Heather and Willy are Chargers fans would be a bit of a understatement ;)
This was the perfect choice.

And one of my husband and I with the beautiful bride....I have no idea where willy was...

Funny story about Heather and Willy, and Sean and I…… 8 years ago I went to Heathers parents house for Christmas, this was the first time I had met most of Sean’s big fun family. That day was when most of Sean’s family met Willy too – since both the relationships were pretty new. The October 06’ Sean proposed to me, and a few months later…..Willy proposed to Heather (in Cancun!!). Now this summer, Sean and I got married in June (Heather was actually one of my beautiful bridesmaids!) and they just got married in August. Is that not very cool? I think it is! :)

Just to end things off, I feel blessed to have been married into such an amazing and fun family. Since the moment I walked into Heathers parents house that Christmas 8 years ago, I have felt a sense of warmth and love that I had never experienced before- the feeling of true family. Willy has been part of the family just as long as I have (long before the weddings) and I’m so glad that it’s all finally official! :) . Congratulations Heather and Willy, I know that you’re life is going to be full of love, fun trips, great memories, and your own little beautiful family – and I am so glad that I get to be part of it.

Oh!!! And Heather…I can’t wait to have babies together!!! (Inside joke ;) )
