Washington D.C. Photography

I had the most amazing trip! Christine and I traveled and explored the city (by foot) in such a short period of time. We dined and drank margaritas. We chatted with other travelers and really go to spend some quality time together.

Here are a few things that I love about D.C.

1. The brick houses
2. The people
3. Lots + lots of green trees
4. The history + culture
5. The sound of locusts







Nerds? I think so :)



The White House.



I couldn't resist.



The Washington Monument...and me.





We soaked our feet at this beautiful fountain at the WWII Memorial. It felt sooooo good!



She couldn't walk straight after that.





The Lincoln Memorial.









Arlington Cemetary.



An eternal flame burns for JFK.



Capitol Hill.





It's so good to have friends like Christine.

I met Christine at SDSU. We were both taking several of the same Journalism classes. She's from Cologne, Germany and I'm hoping to visit her someday soon. In the meantime, I'm trying to persuade her to move to the states permanently.



The next day, we rented a car + relexed at Chesapeake Beach.





I thought it was funny.



Later that night, we took our cameras to the memorials to take some cool night shots.





D.C. is a wonderful city. It's so ALIVE! I hope to revisit it again.

Thanks Christine for being an AWESOME friend!!!

Hello Mr. President!

I will be leaving for Washington D.C. today to visit a good friend of mine and also explore the city that is our nation's capital. Should be a lot of fun! I will be sharing lots of images when I get back. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Torrey Pine State Park Wedding [Jeni + Rolf]

07.14.08

I knew immediately the first time I met these two that we would get along perfectly. They wanted the emphasis on their wedding to be natural and unobtrusive. They wanted images that captured the true spirit of their day. I loved it! I am so blessed that they found me and allowed me to get a small peek into their lives.

Jeni + Rolf are from South Africa and recently moved to San Diego. They have a certain way about them that's calming + refreshing. It was so nice to be around them.

They decided to have an intimate ceremony at the Torrey Pines State Reserve. It was the perfect day. They had a musician come and play an eclectic collection of songs on her flute and saxophone. The event itself was simple, yet beautiful in so many ways. These are times when I realize how lucky I am to be able to witness + document moments like these.























Jeni had her mother + Rolf's father perform the ceremony :)









Afterwards, we headed to the Addison Restaurant at the Grand Del Mar.





Jeni is a few months pregnant. She was glowing the whole day.



Rolf loved the architecture at the hotel, so I made sure to get a few images for him.





I can't thank you both enough for choosing me as your photographer. I think you two are wonderful! I wish you three lots of happiness + love .

Carlsbad Wedding [Amber + Kellen]

06.30.08

I had a great time photographing Amber, Kellen + their closest family members, who were all so warm + friendly to me :)

I arrived at the La Costa Resort just in time to photograph Amber + the ladies before the ceremony.













Renate Daversa officiated the ceremony, which took place at the South Ponto Beach in Carlsbad.











Thank you Amber + Kellen for being so genuine + sweet. Much love to the both of you!
