Victoria and Sean had one of the coolest first dances I had ever seen. They danced to a great rendition of "Empire State of Mind". It was pure awesome. I still remember it.

Miramar Air Show 2011

I totally forgot to blog some photos I took at the Miramar Air Show this year. This was my third time going, and even though it's always a long and usually very hot day, I always have a great time. This year's seemed to fly by very quickly...and yes, after it was over, I had the strongest urge to watch "Top Gun" hahahaha! :o)

One of my favorite shots. I took one my first time there in the same plane that I really liked too. You just can't go wrong with some backlighting.

Tony and Jon with their zooms. My longest was my 135mm, so shooting there definitely made me want to get at least a 70-200mm.

Laguna Beach Wedding :: Meagan + Adam

Meagan and Adam had a lovely, laidback afternoon wedding in Laguna Beach. You would expect a beach wedding to be laidback to begin with, but because Meagan and Adam were such a calm and cool couple, it made it that much easier to photograph them as their day unfolded. A big thanks to my good friend Mike Fletcher for having me along to shoot with him! :o) Here are some of my faves from the day:

Flipflops instead of uncomfortable shoes. Yes, please!

Meagan has a great dad. And no, I'm not only saying that because he gave her diamonds on her wedding day :oP

One of my favorite parts of the day is the mad dash to get ready for the ceremony. I love the energy in the room!

Meagan has such a close bond with her parents. She also had a mother/daughter dance which was very sweet.

I loved how Meagan and Adam made photos a priority. They were willing to try anything and planned enough time to get them done without rushing.
