I’ve been photographing Drew since I first got going on photography – inside the studio of the place I started at, amidst burying girls up the canyon (that probably sounds weird), even out in the rolling dairy hills of northern California. Anyway, he and his friend Jared Gomez were overseeing the Miss City Weekly pageant for 2011. Drew was the reigning queen, and Jared was the MC for the night, if I recall. So we got together before the big event to do some promotional photos to …

Chelsey and Nick got married at the Cottonwood Market Street Grill on the patio next to the river. It was a beautiful day for the outdoor ceremony, followed by a nice warm night for the reception. Guess what? The bride’s dress was also her mom’s wedding dress! I love that, what a cool tradition to pass on. Chelsey’s mom also made the beautiful cake, talented lady. Their friends and family were so happy for the two of them, that they had NINE people stand …

We met up down in San Diego for an extra-long engagement session with his fiancee Aaliyah, and then I’ll go back down for the big day. I’m really happy for these two, they’re awesome together. Excited to see them again this summer! Also, go hike through Torrey Pines if/when you’re in San Diego, it’s beautiful.

Sarah needed to put together a portfolio start for an agency, so we met up one night for the pretty/fashion stuff, and again the next day to do more natural shots, as well as the swimsuit shots she needed.

I had photographed a girl in a bathing suit at this spot once before, and it was perfectly pleasant – a …

Brittney and Cindy are really good friends, and both got married within a couple of weeks of each other in October and November. I’ve had a few weddings this year where one friend refers another, who refers another, so I get to see the same awesome people at three different weddings! Brittney and Michael got married downtown and had their reception at Millennial Falls in Draper. Cute couple, great day!
