Corina

Corina is the daughter of a good friend of mine, Rita. Rita is a fabulous florist, and that is how we met, through weddings. Corina and Rita really wanted to shoot at The Pointe Tapatio Cliffs Resort. We decided a Sunday morning would work best, less people out, and hopefully no 'Gestapo'. At most resorts now, you need permission to shoot there, or security will kick you out. We ended up with our appointment on Halloween. Well, that morning we were very lucky, and we only ran into a handful of people and no security.


Corina is on the swim team, and also the Editor in Chief of the yearbook. And she is also talented at smiling and spinning at the same time, as you will see below...















I think this next one is my favorite from our shoot...such natural beauty!

Valerie and Karl

Think back to October 23rd...that is what I have been doing! Valerie and Karl said 'I do' that day. I remember the weather being perfect, as well as the ceremony and reception. The ceremony was at St. Luke's and the reception was at the new Regale. Here are some of my favorites from their day. Congratulations Valerie and Karl!

Val's dress was amazing. It was from Addy's Bridal Gowns. Addy is a sweetheart by the way-- if you are looking for a dress or need alterations, Addy is the one to see. She is the only one I trust with alterations for my family!
.

In the end, it took 3 people to get this dress on-- complicated back but so worth it-- looked fabulous!

Probably one of my favorite of the day-- brides look their best when not expecting the shot-- relaxed expression.

This is just the bride's side of the family-- barely fit them all into one shot!

Groom's side, much easier!

First dance magic...

See you guys-- I told you we could all fit in the elevator! It WAS tight though!

Gorgeous blazing sunset that day!

Guess who I got to meet AND photograph?

The last few days, I have been photographing the Association of Bridal Consultants 2010 Conference. (See the previous post for photos of the conference.) Today was the last day of the conference for me. I got to meet and shoot David Tutera!!! He is an Event Planner Extraordinaire, and his t.v. show is My Fair Wedding. He was a very down to earth celebrity, super nice and patient with the HUNDREDS of fans today. Here is a pic of David and I, taken by my buddy, Photography by Leanna (thanks again Leanna!) See the previous post for my images of David Tutera during his presentation.
