I love engagement sessions and getting to know the couple. It is always so much fun and I always learn so much about them. The boardwalk is where Kelly and Manny had their first date and i he proposed to her close by. They were such troopers braving the water and quite a risk taker with a white dress. I’m glad we brought towels and a change of clothes. I love some of the stuff we got from their session. You can see more of their session by clicking here.
Taralynn and Kevan had a beautiful day to exchange their vows at the Santa Clara Mission. This wedding was just classic but full of fun and surprises. How gorgeous does Taralynn look? She’s stepped out of a classic 1940′s movie, very glamorous. They arrived at Kohl’s Mansion in a horse and carriage and that was only one of the many attractions at the wedding. Besides just beautiful flowers and lighting to create a fantastic atmosphere they had an ice luge where the drinks poured through the ice. They also had dragon dancers and one of the most entertaining and original dj’s I’ve ever seen. One of my favorite photos from their wedding is of the first dance. It looks like they just stepped out of a Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers’ film. All of this wouldn’t of run so smoothly without the great coordinating of Kristina Taheri. She was awesome to work with.

Here’s a list of some of her great vendors:
Last night we had our monthly PUG (photographers) group at fellow photographer Chyna Darner’s house. We had a great time and we were able to visit with David Luebke of Couture Books. This is a great new album line that is out and that we will be carrying at the gallery. We were so excited to see all the new designs, swatches, and sizes. I can’t wait to get going on my samples to show you all. As soon as I get the picture of Dave and I I’ll get it posted. I’ve known Dave for years. He use to be my rep at pictage. It was great having him up here to hang out.
Ok so here he is in Michigan. He kept wanting me to take pictures of him everywhere we went. I had to remind him I was on vacation. I really had to draw the line when we finished the sunflower photo. After that picture I had to go to emergency care and get a tetnus shot. A rusty barb wire fence attached me. I wasn’t very happy. But one positive thing out of this is that Flamingo really enjoyed kayaking and it gave me some peace and quiet while we were on the beach. The shocker was he took some time off from the ladies.
In keeping with the update from Michigan here is a little 5 minute mini shoot I did of my best friend’s daughter. I just love her polka dot dress and her sassy posing. She was a ham. Go Darielle Go!
