I’ve seen groomsmen all wear chucks together, but Warren had his guys wearing TOMs! That’s pretty awesome. Whenever I get married I’ll do something pretty similar, but think I’ll have my groomsmen wearing Sanuks. I love my Sanuks, best sandals/shoes ever!

I may have mentioned before my two favorite parts of weddings are personalized vows and toasts. My second favorite parts of weddings are slideshows and father daughter dances. However, at this wedding I’d say the father daughter dance might’ve been my favorite part of this entire day. Lisa’s head was buried in her arms and it didn’t take long to realize she was crying the entire time. Tears of joy of course. It was so incredibly touching. And if that weren’t enough Lisa’s mother came into join in at the very last moment and of course that made even more of Kodak moment. I may have cried.

After that I got some pretty cool shots of sparklers which was to commemorate the wedding anniversary of Warren’s parents, and that was quite a spectacle! Overall it was another beautiful wedding with another fun and ‘chillaxed’ couple! Congrats to  you too!!

I’ll be gone from 20th-24th to shoot a wedding along with Chris Ace Films in the Aloha State.  I’ll still have access to internet, but it is possible that the lethargy from too many future pina coladas may impede the speed of any emails or phone calls.  Aloha!

I present to you and the rest of the world, one of the cutest engagement sessions I’ve done filled with binoculars, succulence, (fake) butterflies, a beach cruiser, and of course two lovely people in love.

Traci and Matt are both stylist and a whole lot of fun. One of their idiosyncrasies  are that they both are really into succulence (a desert plant.) Matt was telling me about all the different types as we were walking through a semi-desert area, and Traci was telling me the different (non scientific) names they made up for their own succulence they have at home. Isn’t that awesome?! I think it’s really cool because nobody I’ve ever met has been so into succulence. Traci’s really into butterflies, but not just any type, only certain ones. I didn’t really get into the butterfly discussion, although I could’ve easily delved into a whole conversation about that, but I thought that the succulence was particularly more interesting.

I love both their styles, Matt wore some pretty bad-ass brown leather converse while Traci wore a very vintage-y butterfly summer dress! Good job with the stylizing you two, and congratulations on your engagement! Thank you so much for the potting soil and succulence gifts!

This one-year old sure knows how to party, because it was complete with a DJ, bartender, caterers, an appetizer table, and of course a custom hello kitty cake. I’m so amazed, my birthday parties aren’t even like this. I need to step up my game!

The food was incredible! I wish I could name the foods that were there, but to be honest, I don’t know what what the names are. But for a foodie like me, it matters not, if it’s good, it’s good, and I don’t need to know what it’s called.

Happy birthday Lia! I hope I’m invited to your birthday party next year!
