Natalie + Darren

I love my job. I really do. I can't imagine doing anything else (career-wise) that would bring me more joy than the blessed opportunity I have to photograph the best day of my couple's lives. Natalie and Darren are a pleasure to be around, and I am so flattered and grateful that they were willing to fly me out to Oakland to capture their wedding day. Here's just a small (haha)sample of the many images I love from their wedding:

Stacee + Tyler: The Wedding

Stacee and Tyler could not come from more warm and welcoming families. Their wedding was beautiful and perfect, just like them. I know that sounds super cheesy, but I can't help it that it's true! Thank you so much for letting me share in your special day, I can't think of a better way to kick off the 2010 wedding season!

Whitney + Chase: engaged

I love visiting Arizona in the winter. When it's arctic weather in Utah, it's perfect there. Which is why I can do incredibly fun engagement sessions like this in January and not almost lose a finger to frostbite. I'm also pretty excited to be heading there in March for my third March Mesa wedding in a row.

I tried to cut down the number of pictures I put on this post, but I couldn't help but show these all. Whitney and Chase are awesome, and SO much fun.
