Sarah & Zach

They fell in love in high school and he gave her the opal promise ring.  But being the responsible kids they were they decided to wait until they were more established in their lives before getting married.  Each built their lives and careers and now years later, what started as a teenage crush has grown into a deep love and nurturing connection.  Their families and friends would tell you that each is not completely whole without the other - so in tune with each other that they are unbeatable Cranium partners!

Sarah and Zach were married at the Catamaran Resort Hotel in San Diego.









We've seen some pretty cute ring bearers in the past, but this one absolutely melted my heart.









I love the way they look at each other.


A singer herself (a fantastic one as I understand) Sarah's ceremony wouldn't be complete without at least a little opera.




Did I mention the ring bearer?









Par-tay!

Woot Woot



Thank you, you two, for letting us be a part of your day.  Dad and I had a fantastic time. 

PS - Sarah, I'd love to hear some of your music sometime!

Janessa: Treasures & Beyond

Several months ago stylist extraordinaire Shannen and I wanted to do something that was quirky and fun to showcase Shannen's work.  And when it comes to fun, Janessa is the perfect model.  Janessa sings in bands, she's on a roller derby team, and she's got that great, classic pinup look.  You're the coolest, Janessa - thank you for doing this with us.

We started off at Dick's and my favorite antique store in Poway and made our way to several spots where we were able to photograph Janessa in different looks and with her newly purchased treasures. 

Thanks to Shannen Ebert for gorgeous hair and makeup
Thank you to Treasures & Beyond in Poway for letting us use the store as a studio
