Ever since I first met Sarah + Eric I had been looking forward to photographing their wedding day! Their story is truly unique and beautiful, I was touched so many times throughout their wedding day emotionally. What an amazing day it was for both of them and one they had been waiting patiently for. Congratulations to Sarah + Eric!!!

This was such a fun wedding to be a part of! Eric is truly one of the nicest guys anybody could ever meet, and his friends were awesome! Although there was a ton of emotion at the ceremony, the wedding was really upbeat and positive. The guests partyed like rock stars, and the band tore it up. Great night! --Ryan

Meet my beautiful cousin Heather and her new handsome husband James! Heather + James have known each other ever since they were little tykes! A few years after high school they fell in love, James left to serve a two year church mission in Chile Santiago, Heather waited for him, James came home, proposed, now they get to be married!:) I love their story...it's definitely one of patience and endurance, and displays genuine passion.

Heather + James were married at the LDS Temple in Santa Monica, the details of their day were nothing short of amazing..seriously! I'm going to take a moment (ahem...clear my throat) to brag about my family and how well they can pull together to put on a amazing wedding. Many may already know that I basically grew up in the wedding industry with my grandparents who started a catering company and opened up a gown shop in the 1950's. Now, fifty plus years later, I have uncles and cousins that cater, cousins that are amazing florists, make-up artists, dj's, bakers, photographers, ALL family! You name it, we got it and we do it for the wedding industry!! Anyway, Heather + James' wedding really showed the beauty of family pulling together to make their day a dream come true (plus, James' dad and grandpa can make some killer meatballs)!

Jeramy + Shelley were completely fabulous to work with, I think we had an extra rad time since Jeramy is family (well, now Shelley is too!). Anyway, Jeramy is Justin's first cousin and he and his lovely fiancee emailed us right after they got engaged. We were ecstatic that they chose us to photograph their wedding because for one, we've been wanting to have an excuse to visit Justin's family in Idaho, and for two, the idea of shooting in Idaho sounded amazing with all of the farmlands mixed with urban brick buildings! We could hardly wait! As we got to know Shelley, via our emails, we fell in love with her personality and were more than happy that she was joining our family!

Jeramy + Shelly scoped out a few locations for us before we arrived and the first location was absolute genius!

Two major pluses to this marriage are Shelley's two adorable daughters!!! Jeramy is a lucky guy!

Hey Nicole, Thanks for the comment. Just wanted to say, that I did indeed know how RAD Idaho can be, cause that's where I'm from. I know, who knew that someone like me could be from there??? But, there you have it! Idaho's got some radness that it's hiding.

YOU GUYS ARE SILLY. JUSTIN WAS WEARING AMELIA'S HAIR RIBBON AROUND HIS NECK. NO WAY! Seriously though...the ring shot was righteous, or perfect. Today is choose your own adjetive day, lucky for you. Actually, lucky for all of us. So let us go forward choosing our own adjetives from now on...today.

I've been admiring your work since you won Wedding photographer of the year by BLU. I like your fun editing style a lot, and have subscribed to your blog. On a personal note, I've noticed you do a lot of LDS Weddings and was just wondering if you are also LDS. Just curious. I have two boys about your boy's ages as well, so I'm thinking we have a lot in common!!!! So, just wanted to send a little love from a fellow photographer, mother, and sista' :) Mel

I'm from the Salem, Oregon area, my Sister and I started our business 3 years ago! Starting out, it was just a fun way for she and I to hang out, and then we got ourselves more and more educated shooting, talking, following blogs and such. It must be fun to share this with your hubby!!! Mamouth Men is hilarious by the way (just watched that video.) I was wondering what that was all about after seeing some pics on Fred Egan's blog. Super fun. Mel

August 8th of 2008 was an awesome day for us. We were fortunate enough to be booked by Erin and Jeremiah, who had contacted us just weeks before this wonderful day. I knew there was a good reason why we hadn't already booked that day yet and then these two wonderful people came along! 8.8.08 was unlike any other wedding, maybe because it wasn't actually a wedding, Erin and Jeremiah decided to go the untraditional way and exchange vows. They wanted 8.8.08 to remain special to them as it was the day that they committed and celebrated their love together with all of their closest family and friends.

Erin had three dresses for the entire evening, so fun!

My lovely and talented sister Nicole DeAnnewas the hair & make-up artist for Erin, of course I had to grab a quick shot of us before she finished up!

I thought Erin looked stunning and Jeremiah was nothing short of handsome!

Since the event was a party, Erin let her boys plan part of the night just for the other kid-friends. The details included character drawings, air brush body art, blow-up balloons, and a photo booth! I loved that this party was kid friendly!

With the help of Lisa Kennedy from Landmark Events,the decor, day, and details were uber fabulous! P.S. Erin put together all of the table-top arrangements herself, I thought it was one of the best displays I had ever seen!

As their guests dined, Erin, Jeremiah, and the two boys escaped down to the beach to exchange a few words about family and commitment.

Just after exchanging their vows:

After vows and rings were exchanged the guests were invited to join E & J on the beach for a toast.

At the end of the toast the guests were then invited to grab a handful of rose petals and throw  them into the ocean as they made a wishful hope for the future.

First comment. Woo Hoo. I LOVE this wedding, if I had it to do over again that is so how I would do it. On the beach, just me and my hubby, guests afterwards. So nice. Love the details and the pics of the kids throwing flowers into the water.

Hi guys! I'm a children photographer from Brazil! Just found out your work and I LOVE it! Love the yellowish vintage look you have on your images. any tips or actions you use? I notice it's the same look the the guys from the image is found get. Love it too! is that the red leaf actions? anyway, I'm sure you won't tell us what you do but it doesn't hurt to ask right? ;-)

Hi, this is probably a long shot but I am getting married in August so I’ve obviously been planning quite a bit lately looking online for ideas for my wedding... we are young, in love, and doing our wedding on our own. while looking I came across this beautiful wedding and fell in love with the dress that she wore that has the sequins at the top and the bottom. I have tried searching EVERYWHERE I could think of and have came up empty handed. Do you know of anyway that I could contact the bride and maybe find out where she got it even though it seems that she is so awesome that she got it custom made or spent mega dollars on it : ) thanks… keeping fingers crossed
