What a weekend!

Wow! It has been a very busy weekend! First off, I got to photograph two unexpected weddings! I have never been hired with just a few days notice. It was so surprising to get not one, but TWO weddings on the same weekend with just a couple of days until the big day, but I am so glad I was available because I got to photograph two awesome weddings! Usually I limit myself to only two weddings per month, but this was definitely an exception I am glad I made!

When I got to Jennifer and James' wedding, I was greeted by Jennifer. She immediately made me feel like we had known each other for years! She was finishing the last details for the wedding, but she kept a close eye to see when the groom arrived. I could tell she could not wait to walk down the aisle.

There was also someone else Jennifer was waiting for anxiously and that was her beautiful daughter. When she saw her baby girl walk in she beamed her beautiful smile. Jennifer's daughter is gorgeous and soooo charismatic! As soon as she got there, I could not help but photograph her and photograph her AND photograph her! She loved every minute of it! She told me, "I can twirl for you, if you want." Once we went outside she said, "I am ready to party all night!" She made Art and I laugh so hard!

I am so glad Jennifer and James asked me to photograph their wedding. It was a true pleasure. By the way, they had a wonderful Best Man who took very good care of them!

Congrats, Jennifer and James!




Jennifer waited patiently for James.



She loved the camera and the camera loved her!


Looking at mommy getting married. I love this one!





Amazing sunset, don't you agree?

Nataly, all i have to say about the photos i saw on your blog from James and Jen's wedding is WOW!!!! I loved those pictures, we all did. Jen and James are soooo happy with them and can not wait to see the rest of them. When i read your bio on your web site i remember you saying that it did not matter what the cake looked like or the dress or the flowers, but the pictures, the pictures that will be with us for many years to come and help us remember that special day when Jen and James became one, that right there is priceless! Thank you so much for your great work. Looking forward to see the rest of the pics. Angel

Wow, two weddings. You must be pooped :)
My fav is the first one.
You do wonderful work!
If you need a second shooter in San Diego I would love to help.
BTW- I think you guys should go to Australia. It's been my dream to go there and I could live it through you and your pictures :)
Take care
