Honeymoon!!

Today we are off to our honeymoon where will be completely isolated and removed from every ounce of society! A much needed thing for us. Sorry clients I promise to get back to work the second we are home but we are going to a place with no internet, no cell service, or even television!! We are talking remote! (pun not intended :) ) Anyways I wanted to take this time to say thank you to Renee over at Unforgettable Honeymoons for taking care of all our travel arrangements and suggesting one of the most beautiful and intimate places on earth! Not to mention handling every last detail every step of the way! If you are interested in booking an awesome honeymoon and not having to worry about a thing and getting a great deal, I highly recommend the team over at Unforgettable Honeymoons!

Check out where we will be staying :) All open aired suites with only 3 walls (Photos taken from their website) I will post mine when I get back!!

See you all when we get back!! Feel free to email so we can respond when we get home :)

Im Getting Married!!

Wow i cant believe its finally here. How many times I have gone to wedding after wedding shooting and documenting one of the most amazing days in other peoples lives and now its finally here for me.. Its kind of surreal. actually is really surreal. In 2 days I am going to marry the girl of my dreams and I couldn’t be happier! The latest weather has thrown quite a monkey wrench in our planning and preparing but God has continually been faithful to provide. Regardless if the sun is going to be there on Saturday we know that the SON will be and we couldn’t be happier. We just finished up our rehearsal dinner tonight and I had to write just a little something about it.

As I was just sitting there in the middle of all the noise and commotion, listening to the sound of laughing and old story telling,  I took a look around the room and couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. Not with stress or anxiety for the wedding day and all the details still left to do. I was overwhelmed by God’s goodness and His ability to enrich and bless our lives,  continually, in fact, throughout our lives. This was so evident sitting at the table surrounded by friends and family members that have all entered into our lives through different times. Different stages when we needed them most. Times when I needed their encouragement, others when I needed their honesty. All in all, they have all played a very unique and important part of helping me get to where I am today. Psalm 37:23 says  “The Lord directs the steps of the godly and delights in every detail of their lives.”  As I took a look around the crowded room, absorbing and taking in all I could, my eyes always seemed to gravitate back to my beauty. my bride to be.  I was just amazed, left in awe. Not just by her outward beauty but how she completely compliments me. Reminded by how blessed I am to have such a wonderful woman to cherish for all the days of my life. And to think that I met her 10 years ago. I had no idea then that later on she would become my wife. I hoped.. but had no idea.. I cant help but think that God was just smiling at me back then when He heard my prayers.. I could just hear Him saying “one day Brandon.. soon enough :) Its so cool to be able to see it all come together.. little by little the glimpses of the big picture He reveals to us.

Now as we make the final preparations and the transition from single life into married life, I am just amazed by all the loves ones God has put into our lives right here and now than will help strengthen, encourage, and help keep us to the path of a successful relationship. I am excited for the journey, for the stories, for the excitement and the adventure. I thank God for the hand picked woman he made for me. I couldn’t think of anyone else I would rather enjoy the ride of life with.  I love you Kris. I cant wait!

John and Karah {Engaged}

Another beautiful day and another amazing couple to work with. John and Karah contacted me to do their engagement shoot here in the beautiful sunny So. California.  I had never met them before, but through various emails I felt like I got to know them little by little.  I was so excited to shoot them. Its always a little uncomfortable, for the couple,  at first shooting something so intamate between two people when you have never met before. However its a task I am alwasy up for.. I think making people feel comfortable so they can be themselves is such a huge part to being a successful wedding photographer. John and Karah’s energy was infectious and made my job incredibly easy that day. Check out all the amazing photos from their shoot..

I love their chemistry.. they are so sweet and genuine with each other..

We had beautiful light the whole day..

Love this shot

snagged the last little bit of fall colors in December.. gotta love orange county..

We had a super great time and got some killer photos. These two are tying the knot down in Mexico later this year and although I will not be their photographer since they hired one down there, I am still happy to document just a small portion of their love in this capacity. Best of luck to you guys with the rest of your wedding plans :)
