Gilda & Pete: Married at the Rancho Bernardo Inn

Here's another gorgeous San Diego wedding I got to second shoot alongside the talented Aimee Westcott of Captured by Aimee. Gilda & Pete's special day was drenched in warm sunlight. They pledged their vows as the sun set basking them in a golden light. At the reception Chinese lion dancers drove away evil spirits and brought good luck to the happy couple and some of the most touching Best Man and Maid of Honor speeches I have ever heard were spoken.

Zombies invade Long Beach

I got to shoot zombies. With my camera.

Dolly and Matt are both the makeup artists and the models. Aren't they talented? The future is bright for these two. I mean, I actually got a little scared when we first started shooting as they started slowly creeping towards me wanting to eat my BBRRAAIINNSS.

Thanks to bcj Photography for having me along!

Amanda & Justin: Married at the Point Loma Naval Base

Amanda was just about the happiest bride I had ever seen. Who could blame her? Between the beautiful location along the ocean in San Diego, amazing dress, close friends and family in attendance and marrying her perfect guy, Justin. All of this was the right combination to keep a smile on her face throughout the whole day. Amanda & Justin are a special couple truly meant for each other.

The father/daughter dance made me tear up. So sweet to see a grown man cry.

Thanks to Kelly Marie for having me along to assist. You can check out her blog post of Amanda & Justin's wedding here.
