Makenzie's Birthday

Makenzie turns 4 tomorrow but I leave for Texas tomorrow afternoon so we celebrated today. We took her to see Horton Hears A Who, then to dinner and we ended the night with letting her blow out the candles on her "birthday cake," which was actually a Sprinkles Cupcake... way better than anything we could have whipped up. We like to torment our daughter though so we aren't letting her open up her presents until tomorrow. ;)

Here's the birthday girl with her new 'do.

It had to happen sometime right?

Makenzie decided that she needed a haircut so she went and found her scissors and cut herself some bangs. We're not too thrilled about it but the funny thing is it doesn't look half bad. I guess it could have been a lot worse.

Jenny and Esmond's Engagement

Monday I drove down to La Jolla to shoot Jenny and Esmond's engagement pictures. We started at UCSD where they met and then headed down to the beach for sunset. We had an awesome time and afterwards they took me out to their favorite restaurant, Tadashi, for some of the best sushi I've had in ages! Thanks so much guys, I can't wait for the wedding!

These first two are somewhat of a departure from the way I usually process images but the second I looked through the viewfinder I knew what I wanted the images to look like... and this was it.



Back to "normal."

Kathy and Sam's Wedding

Wow. What an amazing wedding. They got married in Costa Mesa at the Turnip Rose at Grand Newport Plaza. I could not stop picking images so get ready for a long post.




While the girls were getting ready the guys were busy too... smoking cigars.

Flower Allie did an incredible job on the florals.

The beautiful bride.





The groom was looking pretty good too.







Probably my favorite image of the day.














A couple fun moments during the slideshow.


A sweet ring shot to finish it off.
