Ever since Justin and I shot this AMAZING wedding in Palm Springs a few weeks ago at the Viceroy Hotel, I've been itching to show it off! Sarah + Gabe are rockstars! Every detail of their wedding was gorgeously planned. I especially took a liking to their color scheme of pale pink, hot pink, yellow, dark grey, and black! LOVED IT!

Next up on our Best Of 2010 series....all of our favorite ring shots from last year! We like to mix things up a bit with the wedding rings, none of this fluffy stuff with wedding rings on rose petals...we like to make them look interesting and showcase the "bling-factor" as each ring deserves it!

ahhh! this is my favorite thing about your work. I love love love and just get so inspired by your ring shots! Do you mind sharing how you shoot the rings when you drop them? Do you use a macro or what lens do you use. I tried replicating it and the rings would come up blurry and i just gave up. Hahaha!
Thank you amelia! Great work!

I want to cry looking at these photos! You have captured the dress so very very beautifully.... not to mention the bride and groom. But from the dressmakers perspective, you nailed it. Dang, I wish I could express my gratitude. Oh well. I think I could ramble all night and it wouldn't come close. Love the out of focus one of Heidi. Breathtaking! They are just such a great couple.

I've checked in on this blog for several years now and time and time again I am stunned by your images. I still remember the first time I randomly stumbled upon your site while fiddling around on the Internet at work passing the time, I must have been on here for hours that first few days lol. I'm always so impressed at the moments you capture and hope someday when the occasion arises for me to hire a photographer that I can find someone half so talented as you near Missouri to capture my moments.
P.S. This wedding and it's photos are my all time favorite from any site I've seen. Thank you for sharing your talents.

Sharon + Daniel's wedding is the second of the last three weddings of 2010! I absolutely loved their prep location and their reception venue as well! We started the day off at the JW Marriot in Los Angeles. This hotel is super rad, so much to work with, and it made my job really easy!
Here's Sharon + Daniel's online slideshow! Just one more wedding to post from 2010 and then it's on to my top favorites from the entire year!
