Lifestyle & Fitness

Last week I had the opportunity to shoot a production of up and coming company called Lifestyle Fitness. This company owned by Tracy Duhs is going to be such a great resource for women. The purpose of Lifestyle Fitness is to empower women by giving them the tools they need to live a healthy, fulfilled, and peaceful life.- Taken from their website

Athena and John

This past Saturday, Athena and John married at Torrey Pines State Park. That had a beautiful day laid out for them as they celebrated their marriage in an intimate ceremony on a point overlooking the preserve. Athena looked beautiful and Kristin kept commenting on additionally how beautiful her flowers complimented her... I'd agree, the vibrant colors were such a great compliment to their pictureque setting. The evening continued as they moved to their reception at the trendy California Cuisine restaurant in Hillcrest. Take a look below at the pics of food... Those are for the family as we learned from John's dad that the family has more pictures of their food than of each other! Quite the connoisseurs they are! We had a great time with Athena and John... we wish them the very best, and an extra early congrats for Athena as she continues to pursue her law degree!

Jenny & Kody

So...through our last wedding in Canton, Ohio, we were once again given the opportunity to return back to the "Buckeye" state two weekends ago. Here we met Jenny and Kody, who were referred to us by another photographer in their area. Jenny and Kody are such a sweet couple. They met in highschool, dated through college and became engaged while attending Ohio University. Jenny was a softball player all through college and on the last game of her senior year Kody proposed to her on the mound of her home field. In front of fans, friends, family, and even the other time, Kody presented her a ring in a softball he had cut in half and cored. Such a great story, and even better, her ring bearer carried that softball! They had their ceremony at Westbrook Methodist Church in Canton, and was followed by a reception at Skyland Pines Lodge. We had a great time getting to know Jenny, Kody, their friends, and wonderful families! Congrats guys, and thanks for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

Alli & Michael

On Saturday we had the privilege of photographing a truly amazing couple. Michael, a producer for a hit television show and Alli, an actress in grad school currently working towards her MFT, were married on Sunset Cliffs under the setting sun. As you can see this couple is 100% full of happiness, joy, laughter and love. Alli and Michael decided on a vintage hollywood theme to their wedding and their reception was held in a club Humphrey Bogart frequented often. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your wedding. Congratulations to the both of you!!!
