I love all the weddings I shoot. But, sometimes the weddings I shoot are amazing. Not because the dress cost a lot of money or because the venue is some exotic location. But because the couple is so in love and the families are just so wonderful. Those are the weddings I get teary eyed when the father gives his daughter away and when the groom kisses his bride for the first time. Those are the weddings were I feel like I'm a part of their family and not just their photographer. Those are the weddings I feel so lucky to be a part of.

That's how I felt last night. Nicole and Shane were the 2nd couple I ever took engagement pictures of. It was a VERY cold March afternoon in Laguna. Nicole was brave and wore a tank top and skirt. They were both blinkers and they said I yelled at them to not do that at their wedding (I think it was more like a stearn warning). I've gotten to know Nicole and Shane since then and they are so in love. Their wedding was beautiful and both of their families are so great. I had so much fun! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your special day! Here's your slideshow.
