Admiral Baker Wedding :: Elizabeth + Jose

When Elizabeth and her daughter Sarah first came to meet with me, I knew pretty quickly that I was going to be in for a treat with this family. Elizabeth + Jose were not only going to be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary (what a milestone!), but they would also be renewing their vows at a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony (Admiral Baker Clubhouse) — and doing it all in the company of their closest family and friends. They also made sure to let me know that they wanted some non-traditional, non-boring family portraits (their words, not mine) done before the ceremony. Needless to say, I was looking forward to shooting this event for months leading up to it!

Thank you Soriano family for being a great bunch and letting me be part of your kickass celebration!

Here are some of the images we made (don’t forget to check out the slideshow at the end):

Escondido Wedding :: Tatiana + Aaron

Without further ado, Tatiana+Aaron’s whirlwind (in a good way) of a wedding day, in blog form! Starting early at Escondido United Reformed Church and continuing on at Felicita Park, it was clear all day long that Tatiana+Aaron had put a lot of effort into making sure their guests would have a good, relaxed time. Thankfully they also had tons of help from their closest friends and family members who helped them pull off all the details without a hitch.

I was so glad to have my good friend Jena Olson of Vantage Photography come along as my second photographer. Here are some of our favorite images…
