I don’t work at Castle Green in Pasadena very often, but when I do, I get excited!! It is such a pretty place inside and out!!


My favorite!! Isn’t she beautiful!?







David cracking up with his guys…









Tiffany is half Jewish, so they got to do the Horrah!! Looks scary!!

They also had the Lion dancers!! I love when couples have that!!




What a lot going on at this wedding!! Never a dull moment!!

Yaaaa!! It’s finally happened. Tiana & Marc hired me for their wedding, and Tiana ended up working for our studio just after her engagement session. I have to admit, I have been pretty excited to do this wedding after getting to know them so well. Tiana even went to Vegas with us to shoot my wedding dresses at the Neon Sign Museum, so I knew she was going to be a fabulous bride to shoot!! She didn’t let me down!!
Their wedding was at Hotel Laguna, and we had amazing weather!!
Here she is with all her hot friends!!






Now can see why she’s always smiling!? Check out the guy she’s about to marry!!


His friends aren’t to shabby either!!

Here she comes down the aisle!! Check out his reaction…Love it!!

Can you blame him? Check this girl out!!

We really lucked out on the weather…there was a 70% chance of rain!!


She seems pretty happy!! I guess he said “I do.”

I think she’s keeping him!!

We hit the streets to shoot in downtown Laguna. She got a lot of honks and shouts!!












After going downtown, we hit the beach!!






….And they will live happily ever after!!!

Yvonne & tim are getting married at the Long Beach Museum of Art this year. They chose to do their engagement session at the Balboa Fun Zone. These two are so much fun!! We all cracked up the whole time, even though it was pretty cold and windy!!
Tim is acting like he can hardly hold Yvonne up!! Stinker!!

This will probably be Mom’s favorite!!



What do you think he’s saying to her? Hmmmmm…



We had a minute to shoot some of Yvonne while Tim ran to the car.

I think this si my favorite!!





Oh, maybe this is my favorite….I can never decide!!




Thanks guys!! That was so much fun!! I can’t wait for your wedding!!

Yaaaa!! Jim booked a wedding on Maui, and it happened to be the week between Mother’s Day and Matt’s 11th birthday, so that was all the excuse we needed to take a family trip!!






Our guidebook told us about a little shack out in the middle of nowhere, where they make the world’s greatest banana bread….they were right; it was the best we’d ever had!! It was totally worth the windy, one lane drive!!

We went for a hike to a lava pool on the ocean that we read about in our book….


It was like a secret wonderland…









Lava…

Matt takes a break to stack some rocks….he was feeling very Zen….


We got certified at the hotel pool and went on 2 dives in the ocean!! It was so perfect….nobody could argue down there!!

Check out this crazy starfish….





Could this be our new Christmas card???


Urchin….

Our hotel…

See? Vacations bring families together….



This guy lived at our hotel…

You gotta go to Bubba Gump’s while you’re out here….


Another great trip comes to a close….Happy birthday Matt!!
