Trisha & Ray's Wedding

Well the day finally came and sure enough, it was a beautiful wedding! Trisha and Ray's SB Zoo wedding was this past weekend. I also had the honor of having Karen and Craig shoot with me. We had an amazing time.

These are the sweetest people you will ever meet. They invited us to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and boy was it a comedy of errors. The kids were having the time of their life and Ray was on the phone most of the time trying to make sure everyone got into town safely. You can see in one of the pictures where one little boy was running around so much that he was running around with his pants around his ankles at one point!

The girls met for breakfast at Tupelo Junction Cafe the morning of the wedding and then all went to the Aqua Nail Bar for some pampering.

It's so amazing to be a part of such an incredible event! People were hugging and laughing all over the place. The ceremony and reception were all held at the zoo and they did an amazing job of decorating. After the ceremony, Trisha changed into a traditional Chinese dress and the two of them couldn't have made a better couple. There were some amazing speeches and then everyone beat up the dance floor.

I can't say enough about this couple, they're amazing and I'm honored to call them my friends. The whole day I felt like my little sister was getting married!

Here are a few favorites from their wedding.

Sharon, Tim and Madison

I had the privilege of shooting Sharon, Tim and beautiful little Madison's family portraits. We met at the Stowe House Museum in Goleta. It was a beautiful day and we walked all through the grounds taking pictures. Madison was such a doll, I could've taken pictures of her all day long!

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

Jaime and Mike's Engagement Session

I had the pleasure of shooting Jaime and Mike's Engagement session this past weekend. Jaime lives in Alta Loma and her fiance lives in New Jersey. This was the first time I met Mike and he's such a great guy. I'm probably a little biased since I grew up in New Jersey but that's ok. Jaime is a doll with the most infectious smile! Mike was in town and they both came up to Santa Barbara for their engagement shoot.

They are so great together and we had a great time running around Santa Barbara. I'm really looking forward to their wedding which will be in August.

Here are some favorites from our shoot.

SBCOM Graduation Photos

It's been such an honor to be the photographer for SBCOM. I've met some really wonderful people there and as you can see in the pictures, they're a bunch of characters!

It's sad to say but this is the last graduating class from SBCOM, Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine. Please visit their website for more information.

Here are some of my favorites.

Yvonne, Josh, Heather and Andy!

I had the pleasure of shooting Yvonne Huang's senior portraits down at the UCSD campus a few weekends ago with Karen and Craig from KDC Images. Her boyfriend Josh and two of her best friends Heather and Andy came along with us. Her boyfriend's mom and dad are none other than the photographer husband and wife team KDC Images from Glendale CA.

We all met down at the campus and had a blast during the shoot! This was such a fun group to shoot with, we did nothing but laugh the whole day!

Here are some favs from the shoot!
