Happy Earth Day!



Yep, that's right, today is April 22nd - better known as Earth Day.  Hopefully you already knew that.  Today is the the day we celebrate the Earth and all it's grandeur.  

I've been to some magical places on this planet.  Words cannot do these places justice and that is why I love photography so much.  I'm sharing a small collection of my favorite photos with you here today in honor of Earth Day.  These places and animals may not be here for our grandchildren to experience if we keep up with what we are doing.  And just as equally important - our grandchildren may not be here to experience them either.

My hope is that you will come to celebrate Earth Day everyday.  I hope you'll find these photos inspiring.  I know these places were awe inspiring to me and all hold a special place in my heart.  Maybe you'll be inspired to do one small thing that will help this planet stay healthy.  Will you?  One small thing?  Commit to not littering.  Pick up some trash.  Turn your electronics off for an hour.  Maybe more.  Learn about the negative effects we have on our Earth and what we can do about it.  Something, anything.  Maybe that one small thing can turn into a habit.  Imagine the impact you'll be making then.   

Thanks for visiting!

Jazmin and Jordan's Vista Wedding


I had the privilege of shooting Jazmin and Jordan's wedding a few weeks ago.  I say privilege because Jordan is a huge L.A. Kings fan - like me!  OK, OK, not so much that as they are a great couple and fun to work with!  The wedding was at a private hilltop residence in beautiful Vista, California - just outside of San Diego.  It was really a great day!  Here's some highlights.  




I could shoot the details all day if given the chance!



I loved her hanger!




Excitement and the finished product.


Did I say Jordan was a huge Kings fan?  Nice Stanley Cup Champion ring...




First look.







A little pre-ceremony exercise for the guys.





Time for an outdoor wedding in perfect weather...

Love this sign.

Check out Jordan's fist pump!




Choosing the red rose as a symbol of love they exchanged their gifts in the ceremony.



Love the "wine bottle guest book".  Wine - my second favorite thing (next to the Kings)!

 





 Time to party...



 Congratulations to Jazmin and Jordan!
