I know, it's January already, and I probably should've started thinking about this stuff a few weeks ago, but what the hell ... call it my virtual vision board. Here is the stuff I want to do and if your plans match up with mine, then let's talk ! There's one HELL of a deal in it for you ! Maybe even .... sssshhhh..... FREE !!

 #1 SHOOT A PROPOSAL

Thinking of popping the question or know someone who is ? Let's brainstorm some great ideas and I'd love to capture it for you ! 




#2 SHOOT A WEDDING IN THE SNOW AT YOSEMITE CHAPEL

Ever since I visited Yosemite a few years ago, I have just loved this little chapel. And the photos I've seen of it in Winter are just too die for ! 



#3 SHOOT AN INTERNATIONAL WEDDING

Getting hitched on top of a Mayan temple in Mexico ? On a glacier in Canada ? Surrounded by elephants in South Africa ? We need to talk!



#4 SHOOT AN INDIAN WEDDING
4 Days ? No big deal ! I'm a huge fan of all things Bollywood !



#5 SHOOT A SWEET, OLDER COUPLE'S 50+ YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

That kind of commitment needs to be celebrated, BIG TIME !

Rabecca & Eric's 10th Wedding Anniversary {Encinitas Photographer}

This adorable family lives on a mini farm in the beach town of Encinitas, CA. Having been together since high school, Rabecca & Eric celebrated their 10th Wedding Anniversary with a barbeque at their house with their 3 blue eyed kids ! I love seeing a couple that still has fun together after 1o years of marriage !

Andi & David's 10 Year Anniversary & Wedding Vow Renewal {Carlsbad Wedding Photographer}

Andi & David met in high school and married not long thereafter. 10 years and two kids later, this adorable couple and their family came in from Arizona to celebrate Andi & David's 10 Year Wedding Anniversary with a beachside Vow Renewal Ceremony. The Bride's father, a pastor, officiated as Andi & David renewed their vows surrounded by loved ones. They read each other heartfelt letters they had written. David's original Best Man was even able to make it and said a few words after the ceremony. They celebrated with a sneaky champagne toast at the Bluff Overlook then we headed down to the beach for some portraits. It is really great to see such a sweet couple recommitting themselves to each other, their marriage and their family. Congrats and here's to a lifetime together !
