jamie & mj’s wedding was beautiful! they live in arizona, or are “zonies” as the one of the bridesmaids mentioned during her speech. their destination wedding in temecula was special since this was where mj proposed to jamie the previous year. the intimate ceremony took place on top of a hill over looking the vineyards at wilson creek winery. here are some of my favorites from their special day…

trami + kenny | wedding | franciscan gardens san juan capistrano

the franciscan garden’s in san juan capistrano is such a beautiful venue. it’s tucked in the heart of the historic los rios district and was the perfect backdrop for trami & kenny‘s awesome diy wedding.

the day started at at trami’s house for a small traditonal tea ceremony and the western ceremony & reception at the franciscan gardens. trami & kenny’s color theme was one of my favorite combos…yellow & gray. trami & kenny opted to do a first look at the mission san juan capistrano down the street from the franciscan gardens. the mission is such a beauty!

here are some of my favorites from trami & kenny’s special day. congrats again, lovebirds!

deborah + ming | engagement | central park new york city

one of my favorite places to visit is new york city. i love the hustle and bustle of the city…there’s never a dull moment in nyc. everything has so much character and i was so excited when deborah & ming decided to do their session in the city. deborah & ming drove from philadelphia to meet up with me at central park. we got lucky with the weather since the days before were very humid and in the upper 90’s. we first started out at belvedere castle and then headed to the lake & the mall…i love central park! afterwards, we headed down fifth avenue to do the second half of their engagement session. can’t wait for their wedding at drexelbrook in pennsylvania later this month!

here are my favorites from deborah & ming’s new york city engagement! to view more photos, click here to view their slideshow! =)
