Turner Family's Christmas Party - Beverly Hills CA

The Turner's have great parties... it's true. From masquerade parties to candlelit Christmas parties, there's one thing that's for sure, everyone is having a jolly good time! The wee little Turner twins had grown so much since the last time I stuck a camera in front of their faces. They were faster, harder to catch and more entertaining than ever! They just couldn't get enough of the sparkling tree lights and shiny bulbs all dressed up in their lil' Christmas outfits.
This is just a quick glimpse of the night. Great Party!

Happy New Year... 2011! It's gonna be a good one- I can feel it.

Jonny & Valerie's Wedding :: Castoro Cellars, Templeton, CA

This adorable pair met while living in the dorms at San Diego State. Their picture perfect wedding day took place deep in the vineyards of the Castoro Cellars winery in Paso Robles. The day had a very casual, rustic, outdoorsy feel complete with wildflowers and mason jars. The bride's dress had the sweetest cameo detail in the front and her shoes... equally stylish. A few other details I hadn't seen before were a signable surfboard that doubled as a guestbook and a guitar pick shaped groomscake! A big thanks to Soupy B. for second shooting with me today!

Congrats again to Valerie & Jonny and best of luck on the journey ahead!

Brent and Lori's Wedding - Bali Hai, San Diego CA

The south pacific style Bali Hai Restaurant on Shelter Island sits right on the water with unbelievable views of the San Diego Bay and the city skyline.

It was the first time I had met Lori and was struck by how charming and sweet she was. She sparkled, smiled and oozed calm on what would've normally been an anxious day... She even did each of the bridesmaid's makeup! Just as amazing were the colors and the flowers... purples and burgandies that were complimented by the bridesmaid's simple white tulip bouquets. Beautiful! Adding to the day was the most animated, curly-haired flower girl who kept me laughing with her hilarious facial expressions and the fact that she kept attacking the equally adorable ring-bearer with unexpected kisses. Super cute...

New hubbie Brent is in the military and was getting ready to deploy which made this day even more special... They walked on the dock, kissed and danced with the bay spreading out in front of them. Such a great day.

Congrats again to Lori and Brent. So glad I could be part of your big day!
