A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Carley and Mike’s Disney Fairytale Wedding. It took place at the Disneyland Hotel next to the Adventure Land Gazebo, and the weather was perfect. Maybe it’s the former kindergarten teacher in me, but I love it when families include their children in the ceremony. It […]

It was so sweet, editing Dene and Dylan’s photos. Every time I had a photo of them together, you could see how much they adore each other. Dene had a beautiful Disneyland Hotel wedding at the Rose Court Garden, with a reception in Sleeping Beauty’s Pavilion. Her parents surprised her with a horse drawn carriage, […]

… And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candle lights flicker, where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present. Practicing their terror, with ghoulish delight! Jeanette had won a photo session from a contest through one of my favorite blogs, Budget Fairy Tale, and oh how glad […]

One of the things I love about photographing weddings is getting to spend time with the bride and groom’s family. Natalie’s two girls were so much fun at this Disneyland hotel wedding, and I was sad when it was time to say goodbye at the end of the day! I loved photographing them as they […]

This is technically part 1 of their Disneyland Engagement Session, because the photos below were taken before these photos! So here is the first half of Richard and Gina’s fun engagement shoot! I felt so bad for them … I had them meet me really early and this turned into a six hour shoot. They […]

I’d photographed Ricky and Melanie’s family earlier in the year, so I was very excited when it was time for their vow renewal at the Disneyland Resort’s Grand Californian Hotel. This was a big day for Melanie. When they first tied the knot, her wedding day wasn’t how she’d hoped it would be. Her vow […]

While I was at Ari’s wedding, her mother pulled me aside and asked if there was any way I could take some senior photos for her daughter at California Adventure before they had to go home. Somehow, the stars (and my schedule) aligned, and we were able to make a time for us to take […]

It was a beautiful day on Wendy and Steve’s Disneyland engagement shoot. Steve used to be a climber on the Matterhorn, and Wendy used to work at the Disney Store, so we had a great time sharing stories about our time working for Disney. It was wonderful getting to spend the day with these two, […]

I wish I could skip those first 15 minutes of awkwardness during photo shoots like this Disneyland Engagement session, and jump straight to the part where we’re having a great time and and making silly faces for the camera. Like this: I was grinning from ear to ear as I went through Matt and Theresa’s […]
