Well, it's my first post of the year. YAY!
I've wanted to photograph a client on Olvera Street ever since I visited for the first time. I believe that was back in 2008. So...it's been a while. Today's clients were awesome. Why don't I just show you.
After holding Krystal, Dre and Kalen hostage for about 2 hours I decided to let them go. Thanks for letting me click the shutter as often as I liked you guys!

I love wedding gowns.

I met someone with a very interesting name today. I reached out my hand and introduced myself and he did the same. Of course I'd met Ms. Cheree previously. I wasn't sure what he said. Did he say what I think he said? He couldn't have. Clearly I just misunderstood. So, the time comes to start directing him and I prefer to call people by name when it's not a large group. So I ask, "What's your name again?" His response, "Sir." Yep. That's what the man said. LOL! Sir and Cheree were funny. They laughed often during the session, something that I love to see couples do. And he acted in no way like his name was Sir.
Again, they made it easy for me. Thanks you guys!

Yesterday I got to snap a few pictures of my brother Q and his wife-to-be, Rashanna. Brought together by bowling. He told me he saw her and thought she was pretty. I'm sure she was checking him out too because my brother is quite handsome. The fact that she bowls was icing on the cake for him. LOL! Bowling. Who knew?
She brought heels. I invisioned this next shot and hoped I could pull it off.
Funny thing is, every time I ask a couple to come in close and look at each other, I get this reaction. LOL!
Now THIS shot deserves a wall all it's own!
Her eyes.
I'm glad it's come to this step. Her boys love him and to him, they're HIS boys. I love them all. Let me end this post because I'm starting to feel a bit emotional. LOL!

I'm so glad! Pictures to come.
And guess what? I designed my first wedding invitation and response card. YAY!
Congratulations you two!

These days the scenery just keeps getting better. The Ayers hotel happens to be another gorgeous place! That was the location of yesterday's wedding. In addition to locations, I continue to have clients that make me feel like I'm amonstly family and friends. Here are a few highlights.
And of course I had to get one of these shots. I love 'em!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is none like my Heavenly Father. He loves me and continues to fill me so that I'm able to create moments like these.
Travone and Shannon, it was a blessing to be able to share your day with you. Thank you. I pray that it was only the beginning of a lifetime of moments that give you butterflies. And may the way you feel about one another ONLY get better.

For their 50th anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Mosby renewed their vows. Awesome!
It's a beautiful thing to see. In this day and age people marry and divorce like they get new cars. Marriage just isn't viewed the way it used to be by most. Something cherished. Meaningful. And meant 'til death do you part. I'm encouraged.

Would you believe that it'll be a year next week? It seems like it was only a FEW months ago that I photographed the Farthings' wedding.
Now here they are almost a year later. Enjoying married life in their home.
It was a great day T & R!

Kevin and Jamila came as a referral through the Farthing wedding from June 2008. Both weddings were held at the same location. Both couples were equally pleasant. And both grooms clicked with my son (the brides too, but he especially liked the male bonding). When I told him that I had a wedding, he asked, "Who's getting married?" I said, "Remember Kevin and Jamila? From The Getty?" He said, "If I wouls have known they were getting married I would have told them congratulations. Would you tell them for me?" :D Certainly!
That reflection shot is one that I've wanted to get since meeting Jerry Ghionis in a seminar back in 2008 (I think).
Here is my favorite of the bride.
But below is my favorite image of the day.
Congratulations Kevin and Jamila!

There are times when I LOVE to hear those words. I've heard a few clients say that and It's always be far from true. Today was no exception. Meet Shannon and Travone. Engaged to be married on August 15, 2009. Maybe 10 shots into the e-session, Mr. Travone informed me that he's not photogenic. HA! A little while later Ms. Shannon said the same of herself. And I say to you both, "that lie is so not true". Don't believe me? See for yourself.
Now, who's not photogenic?? I just love to prove this belief wrong. I pray that you enjoy the shots as much as I do.
