Melissa & Anthony | Married!

heandshe — Wed, 22 May 2013 20:11:09 +0000

I remember when Melissa called me to talk about their wedding. If you know me, you probably know that I’m a bit socially awkward in general and am particularly bad on the phone, thus making phone calls my arch nemeses. I was surprised almost immediately how easy it was to talk to Melissa and within minutes I was laughing hysterically (which probably added to my normal awkwardness). I couldn’t believe how fun she sounded and was SUPER stoked to finally be shooting a wedding in Big Sur with them :)

Fast forward several months and I finally got to meet Anthony, and I guess he was alright too… But seriously, it was such a fun day with awesome people. Thank you two for coming out to Cali and letting me join in on the camping/beaching/partying festivities :)

Jerry & Sue | Married

Jerry & Sue’s wedding was awesome. They were super fun and the wedding took place at a sweet little club in downtown San Diego. Usually when we’re in a big city, we like to walk the streets and find awesome urban settings for portraits. But, Erin and I were both intrigued by the idea of only shooting inside this one room for the entire day. So we did it! I think it turned out pretty awesome, but I’ll let you be the judge of that :)

Thank you guys for letting us be a part of your adventure :)

Remember that time we went to Scottsdale Arizona for a three day wedding extravaganza? Yeah, that was pretty crazy. These folks know how to party :)

Shooting Keith & Debra’s engagement session at their house was perfect, because it was so them. Exactly them. Their house is AWESOME, and we got to have a little adventure on the roof too….

Thank you Keith & Debra for letting me hang out with you two :)

When I met Evan & Leslie in downtown San Luis Obispo for their engagement session, I had no idea I was going to have so much fun. From the moment they said hello, I was almost in tears from laughing so much. These two are winners for sure!

phil & yee-shing | engaged!

We’d been hoping to meet up with Phil and Yee-Shing for a long while. So, the last time we were in San Francisco for a little wedding goodness, we decided to make it a weekend adventure and spend some fun in the sun with these two awesome peeps. And yes, it was sunny the entire weekend!

Thank you Phil and Yeesh for letting us document your love and we’re so bummed we wont be there to party with you on your big day. We’ll be there in spirit though – in a totally creeper status way :)

justin & annie | married!

Often times, when you think of a city hall wedding, you’ll think “mini wedding.” Well Justin and Annie’s San Francisco city hall wedding was definitely not a mini wedding in all of the best ways! We started the day at their home, and then ventured into the city for the ceremony and the rest of the days festivities.

Follow along with me as I follow them around for a sunny winter San Francisco day :)

road trip | oregon bound

We recently went on an adventure of the most EPIC sorts with our good pals Gary and Courtney. <— Make sure to check out their pictures of our #gnarhipsterventure here!

Here’s how it all went down: Gary was turning 30 (sorry to call you out like that, Dude, but it’s true, and you did) and Courtney thought, “Ah-ha! I’ll take Gary and our beloved offspring on a road trip back to the land of his kin, Oregon.” (And you can quote me on that quote.) So on their drive up from San Diego, we told our dear friends, “You take us, or we will not like you quite as much.” To that threatening remark, they shrugged and we were on our way.

I would sit here and list out the places we stopped, slept, cried, ate and hiked, but to be honest, it is all one giant blur! I feel so privileged to have taken such a beautiful trip and to have shared it with equally beautiful people. And can I just say that the kids were such troopers! Hours upon hours upon hours… upon hours… in a jam-packed rental van with so much bottled up energy can be a real test for little ones, but they passed (and surpassed) the test!

We not only survived, we thrived and bonded. And it is only through such thriving and bonding that you truly get to know people, at their best and worst. And I can say, now, for certain, that at her best and worst, yes, Courtney Christenson is truly that pretty. It’s weird.

I have a series of the above picture throughout the post. Watch how the kid’s expressions change as the trip progresses… :)

Watching the elephant seals at San Simeon.

Exploring in Big Sur.

Courtney kindly offered to take a picture of us after our above failed attempt, but there’s only so much you can do with this crazy bunch :)

Courtney and I enjoying our 16th viewing of Rio in the rental car.

Monterey playground pit stop.

Self explanatory.

One of my favorite places, Mendocino.

We spent a good portion of the trip on the ground, looking at rocks, selecting rocks, trying to eat rocks.

Sea Glass Beach.

Lovebirds….

Attack of the Charlie!!!

The elks, elken and elki.

Bend, Oregon!

It was literally 30 degrees outside while we were at this playground. This kid wasn’t fazed!

Back in California, in Redding.

Patrick & Michelle know how to get down. Literally. They busted out their best moves on the streets of Santa Barbara and it was bombastic :) Seriously though, these guys are awesome and I had so much fun exploring the city with them. Sharing an awesome bottle of wine after the session with them was pretty awesome too, but that’s a different story…
