It is so fun when one of my couples weddings gets chosen for publication. I loved this couple and everything about the wedding. I”m so glad that they were chosen. Congrats Abrahm and Jodi. To see more about their day you can check out their article in Today’s Bride magazine or on aboutweddings.com by
My assistant Jeremy and I had a great time photographing Eoin, Kayleigh, and Liam a couple of weeks ago. This kids are full of energy and I can say we were tired at the end of the day but it was a good time for all. Eoin and Kayleigh are twins and there was little brother Liam who lives up to the title. It was a beautiful summer evening to photograph them. I think for me summer nights were some of my favorite parts of childhood. Check more of their photos below and by clicking here.
Many of you know I’m in charge of a monthly photographer group. Once a year I get the courage up to have them all at my house. It is fun to get outside and to just relax, no real agenda. After seeing the picture you’ll see why I only do it once a year. 
For some reason (I’m claiming insanity) this year my husband and I decided to cook for all of them instead of having it catered. In all honesty it was a pretty good meal. Tri-tip, green bean and penne pasta salad, and a caprese salad. It was a perfect night and the temperature was fantastic. I’m glad it was a non-typical warm evening here in the bay area. Of course I got thrown in the pool, I wouldn’t have expected less from the crowd. They are great bunch of great people. So, the question was how many photographers does it take to short a hot tub? 12 and maybe more but I think it was Tanja’s sommersault in that finally did it!
So I don’t know how Andrew Hsu knew but he guessed right. We went to Vegas. This was a huge a surprise since we had just been there for our anniversary because my husband was attending a conference. He thought I wouldn’t be that excited but it was so much fun. We ended up staying at the Wynn. I don’t know how much you guys remembered how I fell in love with it just visiting last time. This time we stayed there and it was amazing. The main reason we went is that last time we were in Vegas he heard me mention how next time we came I really wanted to go to a Cirque de Soleil. Well he got box tickets to see La Rev and it was fantastic. It was so fun because we had a great view of the show plus we got a little t.v. to watch to see behind the scenes, under the water, and above. It was spectacular. How they physically do some of that stuff is just mind boggling. Here are some shots of the show and the pool. I love how when you walk in the ceiling of the show is covered with this huge parachute. You don’t know it is a big cloth and not the real ceiling until the show begins. Then it gets sucked up in one big sweep. Again no other word to describe it but AMAZING! It was funny because when we were checking in this elderly lady was giving me the low down on the Wynn and what shows we should see. What cracked me up was she said she hated Circque de Soliel. That she could watch the Olympics and see all the same stuff. I’m sorry but there was some things in strength control that just blew my mind. The other thing she told me to do was to make sure I didn’t turn down the nighttime turn down. Cracked me up! The pool area was beautiful and relaxing. You could eat by the pool and gamble if you wanted. Since we were there for a couple of days we just relaxed. In fact, I think it was so hot we never left the hotel grounds. We explored alot of the restaurants.Club house grill is our new favorite restaurant. The food here is exceptional and worth every penny. Barlotta was good but I think it was overpriced for what you got. But if you ever have the chance go to Club house grill at the Wynn.
This is all very exciting. I”m heading on a three day mystery trip early tomorrow morning. Eric has planned everything and I have no idea what we are doing. He said it isn’t huge but it is still fun not knowing. Girls I hope that after being married 13 years your husbands still do things like this for you. I can’t wait to tell you where we went. The only clue was that I had mentioned it was something or somewhere I wanted to go. I want to do all kinds of things so it wasn’t much of a help. It will be a fun way to wrap up summer. The kids start school in a week and live goes back to full throttle. Stay tuned and I can tell you where I went. I did just find out we have to fly there. Where could we be going?
