Just us and a Handful of Family and Friends { Destination Beach Wedding - Morro Bay, CA.}

I photographed my first wedding professionally at the young age of 19. Throughout the years, I have heard many couples start their wedding plans with, "It's gonna be small, just us and a handful of family and friends" and by the time the big day comes around that "smallish" wedding grew tremendously. But hey, it happens to the best of us...yes, even my own wedding many years and many weddings after I shot my first wedding was to be very small but then developed into something bigger than we planned...and it was wonderful!!
However, I must hand it to this couple. They wanted a beautiful intimate wedding at the beach witnessed by family and friends and that is exactly what they had! I also have to admit that this wedding touched very close to home. You see, the bride is my sister-in-law. I met her on her 14th birthday when her brother (my husband) took me to her party at John's Incredible Pizza. I have been lucky to be around to watch her grow from the young girl I met almost 10 years ago to the beautiful young accomplished woman she is today and I look forward to watching this young couple's marriage blossom. Congratulations you two!!





















The lunch reception afterwards was even interrupted by a pirate! Totally unplanned but I guess this pirate makes an entrance to call out the hour and we took advantage of his appearance with some pictures. He was lots of fun!!





I had my hubby and other sister-in-law give their baby sister a sandwich hug! I think this is super cute!!




Two of my guys enjoying a walk on the beach! What a great day!!

All This Love Started with a Bell {Fresno, CA. Wedding Photography}

So first let me share that my first job was like most first jobs, I was sixteen and it wasn't much fun wearing the silly uniform and working outside during the summer heat. However, if I would have had the fate of meeting my soulmate at that job, then I would probably have no complaints! Instead, my soulmate didn't show up until years later!
Well this couple met at one of their first jobs for both of them and their love for one another began to blossom and grow! I won't say where this job was but I'll give the hint that this place has the best burrito surpreme EVER and its name has "Bell" in it! It's heart warming to know that this "Bell" place would eventually lead to wedding bells! Congratulations guys! Here are some of my favorites from your wedding! Enjoy~










And we gotta show some of the bling this beautiful bride had on her dress, jewelry, and flowers! It was way cool!!
