Its going to be a great one and will give you a little sneak peak once we get out there!!

Jared and Katelyn {Engaged}

Last week I had the opportunity to shoot one of the most ridiculously cutest couples EVER! Meet Jared and Katelyn.. These two are high school sweethearts and have been dating since they were 16.. You have to hand it to them! the steadfastness, the commitment, the love that has endured countless trials and obstacles. A love that has endured a period of time full of growth and self discovery.. I love Love Story’s like this.. it shows true dedication and perseverance. One of my favorite parts about this shoot was seeing the two of them interact with each other. Witnessing the love and joy exploding out of both of them was moving.. So pure and so real. It was such a blessing to be able to document and capture just a small portion of their love. Katelyn and Jared are way into country, the music, the boots, the vibe, so I found the perfect back drop for their engagement photos..

Also just a little blog love.. Featured on the stellar Grey Likes Weddings blog today.. Thanks Summer for the feature your the best!! Enjoy the photos.

I love the light from the day..

this is my fav shot all day..

St. Lucia {Unforgettable Honemoons}

This post is just a special thank you to our wonderful travel agent Renee Meyer from Unforgettable Honeymoons and for all those people who inquired about our honeymoon asking where we went and wanting to see the pictures. We seriously had the best honeymoon ever! We headed to the tropical Caribbean island of St. Lucia. The place we stayed at had one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen in my entire life.. and it was right from our open aired suite.. The view below was our spectacular view every single day and we never even had to leave the room!!  Talk about secluded this place was incredible.. In fact I think that we only left our room to get food.. and even then they brought it to us.. We were super lazy after all the craziness from the big day we just wanted to relax and unwind..  I couldn’t have even dreamed of a better place to do this at!! I dont know what was the coolest part.. the view.. the room.. the privacy, your own plunge pool.. we seriously had no reason to leave. It was exactly what we were looking for. Here are just a few pics of the resort we stayed at.. If you have any questions you can contact Renee as she would be more than happy to give you all the little details of this place :)

a little breakfast sitting area

fresh tea and coffee served whenever we wanted plus all kinds of fun activities at our disposal..

What was really awesome about this place was that there were these hand carved sculptures and wood workings all over the place as well as filled up our entire room. Every room has its own personality and individual carvings.

a place just to hang out and enjoy the view of the pitons..

Here is the restaurant when we decided to not eat in our room.. honestly I think we only saw 4 different couples total the WHOLE time we were there..

here’s the view while eating..

If you didnt want to stay in your room then you could enjoy this patio next to the restaurant for some local tunes and the infiniti pool.

Here are pictures of the rooms.. each room is like your very own tree house and extend out into the tree canopy..

The inside..

our own pool and lounge chairs with the amazing view as well.

Another little sitting area to watch the sunset and the moonrise :) You can see though that the whole suite is totally open to the suroundings..

Honestly I would go back there in a heartbeat.. I cant wait actually we both miss it so much! Beautiful weather all day and all night AND we didnt even see, let alone feel, a single bug the whole time.. to sum it all up in one word… Perfection!

San Louis Obispo Wedding – Dan and Michelle

Finally.. Our first wedding up in SLO ever.. We were so excited to shoot these two.. Once Michelle started describing her wedding I knew it was going to be A M A Z I N G !! Her family actually owns a ranch and was going to be grounds for one epic wedding. So many little details.. so much beauty all in one place.. honestly some of the most beautiful country side I have ever seen. Stunning beach panoramas mixed with beautiful lush mountain ranges.. such diversity can only be found in the beautiful sunny state of California!! I cant wait to go back already! Check out some of the shots from the day!

We got so many compliments on how super fun the booth was and even more how creative all the different ideas Tony and Jillian came up with! Take a look at some of the Zany-ness!! Also Tony and Jill were super duper sweet and a joy to work with.. They totally blessed our day by having them there to document such a fun part of our day! Thanks guys so much!! Also for staying all the way until the very end just to document our grand exit.. That was just way above and beyond what we expected and are forever grateful! Seriously.. totally blew us away!!
