Wendy + Sunup were married on October 3rd. While Justin was unavailable that day, I brought out the lovely and very talented Denise Bovee to second shoot with me. Wendy + Sunup, or should I say "Wenup" (what is this? scroll down and you'll see) were super sweet and beyond happy on this big day. You can see their happiness is very obvious and very apparent in their images!
Her dress. His shoes.
Her dress. His shoes.Huge high fives to Wendy + Sunup on their marriage, so glad we could be there to catch the day as it came! And of course, what would a wedding post be with out an online slideshow?! Click here!

The last wedding we posted I had to shoot without Justin, now here's one that Justin had to shoot without me. This is a VERY rare occasion, as we try our best to be available together because that is how we like it best, but given the unusual circumstances, Justin did an amazing job and he had Jason Roger as a sidekick to help him out.
My second favorite shot of the day! The forever talented Nicole DeAnne rocked Patty's hair and make-up!
My favorite item of the day, Patricia's veil. I'm not usually a big fan of veils, but I really thought this one fit Patricia's look.

Patricia + Art were married on October 3rd. When editing this set of images I really fell in love with the old fashioned spanish theme. From Patricia's veil to the mariachi hat place cards, there was definitely a classic spanish feel to the entire day.
"bride to be"...

oh my gosh, can i just say that i LOVE that pic of the bride with a beer on the floor with her dress pooled around her?! so funny and cute. it seems like brides always try to look so perfect on their wedding day, even though it's SO stressful and makes you want to drink (whether you do drink or not...). ha!

Once again, I heart LOVE shooting family weddings! I also heart LOVE visiting and shooting Idaho in September! When you put family, weddings, and Idaho in September all together it equals a very happy and content Amelia!
The reception was adorned with decor and flowers by Laura of The Lemon Drop in Idaho Falls, she totally rocked it! Especially with such simple colors, very elegant!
This shot of Justin's grandparents with Ashley makes me happy!
Justin's sweet cousin Ashley contacted us a few months ago to attend and shoot her wedding. We anxiously accepted because 1. we love Ashley and 2. we really needed a good excuse to visit family in Idaho! I ended up having to go alone because Justin needed to be on set at Yo Gabba Gabba!, but I lucked out with great help with some of Justin's other cousins Jeramy and his sweet wife Shelley (you may recall these two from their wedding we shot last September, also in Idaho).
Congrats to Ashley and her new man Jarom!

Superb. Your favourite shot of the day is also very very nice.
Was that a speedlight? or do you bring more power to weddings?

Now that you've seen their engagement session we are ready to unveil the wedding of Claudine + David! They were married on September 19th at the Sacred Heart Chapel on the campus of LMU with a sweet reception that followed with their closest friends and family.
Claudine + David were great in front of our cameras, although they did admit that it felt super weird for them and sort backwards. Both Claudine and David are talent producers by day and are usually working behind the scenes with photographers and stylists for their clients. I thought it was great that they finally got to be the ones in the lime-light on their wedding day!
My favorite item of the day, Claudine's shoes!

Dear Claudine,
Congratulations. We wish you both a happy marriage with love, but the most of all respect to each other until the eternity. I look forward to know David. Please remember that you have an uncle and a home in Turkey. We would love to welcome you both here in Istanbul.
Love from all of us at ISIN's family (Tugce, Filiz and Orkun)

2009 has been our year for shooting weddings in Northern California, from San Francisco to Napa Valley, its been fun mixing it up and in the midst of it all Justin and I have enjoyed traveling.
Stephanie + Sam were married on September 4th in San Francisco. They held their wedding ceremony at the Merchants Exchange Building and then held a beautiful reception in the Julia Morgan Ballroom inside of that same building. The first time we actually met Stephanie + Sam was the day before their wedding when we toured their amazing venue together to get a feel for what the next day would be like. We were super excited after getting acquainted with Stephanie + Sam and could not wait for their wedding day to unfold!
No joke, Julia Morgan was an amazing designer and architect! Justin and I have been fans of her work ever since we visited Hearst Castle a few years back. She was a very talented woman. Now onto the rest of the details:
Congratulations to Stephanie + Sam, what a sweet day, thank you for having us along for the ride!
