When words aren’t enough [steven + catherine, wedgewood - indian hills country club, riverside]

That is the magical thing about photos. When words fail, an image can fill in the blanks. When you see a picture, you can remember every detail of what was going on around you during that time. Its like a time capsule. You can spend hours looking through photos, being transported through time and space back to when the very second happened. Words cannot compare. A story, a dialogue, an entire novel can be portrayed through a picture.

I missed Catherine & Steven’s at wedding Wedgewood Wedding & Banquet Center on the Indian Hills golf course because I was laid up in the hospital with our hours-old newborn in my arms. A pretty good reason to not be there…but heart-breaking nonetheless. I’ve known Catherine her entire life, so to miss her wedding day was like missing my sisters wedding. Even our daughter was the flower girl. So looking through her photos I was able to relive her wedding day – tears included. Like when her cousin Cody looks at her just before walking her down the aisle. Or Steven is practically leaping out of his shoes to kiss her for the first time as his wife. Speechless…and that is how a photo should leave you…because words just aren’t enough.

…And that is all too important to just have “Uncle Bob” take your pictures…
























Enjoy!!!

Engaging with each other [brian + kelly, claremont, ca]

Life. Life is crazy. Unpredictable. Through life we experience both the deepest hurts and our greatest joys. It’s perplex…possibly the most perfect oxymoron. We say time crawls by – “When a minute feels like an hour”. Yet, in the next sentence we say time flies by – “Don’t blink or you’ll miss it!” How can such vastly different statements describe the same thing? Because the circumstances of life filter our perception. I think that sometimes the same things are said of love. It’s crazy. Unpredictable. While there may be truth in that, I believe we have much more a choice in love. Love is intentional. Love is purposeful.

When we choose to be intentional and purposeful with our actions, we engage love in such a way that minimize its unpredictability. That’s how we “fall” in love. We choose to incessantly think positive of the other. We choose to treat them kindly, choose to cherish them, choose to engage with them. And from those choices, love flourishes. When we take the time to purposefully engage our significant other, we cannot help but feel love.

We had such a great time watching Brian and Kelly. Their laughter together showed just as much love as their kiss. Romantic silence permeated as they locked eyes. They were lost in their own conversation. No words needed. They engaged each other.

That.is.love.




Love as Never-ending as the Ocean’s Tide [brent+lindsay: cabo san lucas, mexico]

You see, there is something about being around a couple that is in love. It’s like you are attracted to them, usually for some unknown reason, and you can’t help but love them. If you really took the time to think about it, you would be able to list the things that draw you to them… and it would look something like this:
…his smile when she walks in the room…
…the way they finish each other’s sentences…
…their politeness towards the others opinions…
…the way she reaches for his hand…
…how he wants to open the door for her…
…the flush in her cheeks when he compliments her…

and then you realize…its the beauty of their love. Of course it is appealing, it is the one true beautiful thing in life. Our love for one another.

Brent and Lindsay had a gorgeously intimate ceremony on the beaches of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Surrounded by their immediate family and their closest friends, they vowed their love to one another. Their love that is an unending as the ocean’s tide.































We were beyond blessed to be a part of your day!
