Disney Fairytale Weddings

When Miwa, Hideshi, and I met for the first time, I knew we were kindred spirits. Among the few things we had in common, were a love for fine photo paper, Hayao Miyazaki, and all things Alice in Wonderland. She was planning an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding, and I gave a silent wish that […]

Red Bridesmaid Dresses

What’s cool about Michelle and Hay, who had their beautiful wedding at the Diamond Bar Center, is that they were one of the first couples to book me. They had faith in me before I’d even done a Disney wedding, and I was so happy to be there for their wedding day. They’ve been planning […]

Disneyland Resort Wedding

It was my pleasure to be able to photograph Elise and Matthew’s Disneyland Resort wedding. It took place at the Rose Court Garden at the Disneyland Hotel, and the reception was held in the Sleeping Beauty Pavilion. The sun was setting at just the right time during their ceremony, and the sky glowed around them. […]

For Apple and Eli’s wedding, Marc and I travelled over to the Kern County Museum in Bakersfield, California. I’d been to the museum for my Uncle’s retirement party from the Fire Department, so I was really excited to be there to photograph a wedding. The grounds are beautiful, and there are so many unique buildings and […]

Fess Parker Double Tree Resort

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing Amy and Adam’s gorgeous Santa Barbara wedding at the Fess Parker Double Tree Resort. It was one of those weddings where the stars aligned and everything went exactly right, from the beautiful rain clouds-minus the rain, to the gorgeous sunset in the background. I’m so grateful to […]

Nightmare Before Christmas? Disneyland Hotel? Rose Court Garden? Need I say more? It really was fun to be able to edit Kathryn and Jason’s Nightmare Before Christmas Wedding that took place at the Disneyland Hotel. Their cake was so awesome, that it was featured over at the Disney Ever After Blog. I was kind of […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
