Married:: Kailin & Raymond | San Diego LDS Temple

One of the most adorably in-love couples of the summer, Kailin and Raymond, met not too long ago when they were both teaching English in Russia of all places. Pretty great story to tell the grandkids, that's for sure. It seems to me that they have the thing, you know... where two people just seem to fit together. The evidence is below... just look.

Their wedding took place at the ah-inspiring San Diego LDS Temple in La Jolla on a perfectly sunny California day. The reception: a sweet backyard gathering of friends and family.

Congrats again to Mr and Mrs Naseath! Thanks for letting me be a part of your day.

Engaged :: Missy and Matt! Pasadena City Hall, Pasadena CA

Missy and Matt are living in San Francisco, but are originally from Minnesota. They met in med school and are the sweetest, most genuine couple I've had the pleasure of meeting. They were down in southern California making plans for their upcoming wedding day in Santa Barbara, so we met at the Pasadena City Hall to shoot their engagement photos. Really fun day with an amazing couple...

Check back for their wedding day images- coming soon!

O'Bier Family Portrait Session - Balboa Park and Windansea Beach, San Diego CA

A long time ago, back before I was as cool as I am today, I was on my highschool's drill team. That's right, prancing around doing military-like arm movements was an extracurricular activity that I actually volunteered for. It was during that time that I happened to meet one of my best and biggest haired friends, Heather.

Fast forward a few years and a few different hairstyles, and Heather has an amazing husband and some very cute sons. One of those sons really, really loathes having his photo taken. It took a little bit of negotiating, but we finally managed to get a smile out of him. It was a beautiful, sunny San Diego afternoon in Balboa Park and Windansea Beach in La Jolla.
