A surprise Vow Renewal- San Diego Wedding Photographer

Michael & Michelle’s vow renewal was one of the most genuinely sweet things I have seen a daughter do for her parents. Melissa and I go pretty far back, and I was more then honored when she called me to photograph her parents SURPRISE vow renewal for her parents. The event was at the beautiful Hacienda Club in La Habra and guests enjoyed music by Afterburn Productions (they were really good). Michelle was thinking when she entered that she was heading to a Man of the Year award ceremony and because she was running late they played a trick on her by pointing her out when she walked in… hence her “hello! I’m here! Haha!” when she first walked in… then she realized she was NOT at a man of the year award ceremony! Her reaction was priceless.

The love between Michael and Michelle is so sweet and I couldn’t help but just see myself and my husband in 25 more years of marriage being as happy as they were.

Ashleigh and Shawn are so hilarious– we had SO much fun doing their on-location portrait session walking around Coronado Island! This brother and sister duo decided to hire me to photograph them for their mother’s Christmas gift and I don’t think there was more then 2 minutes where we weren’t cracking up laughing over SOMETHING!

I look forward to more sessions with this AWESOME family!

Little miss Charlie is one of the most beautiful baby girls I have met. I photographed her parent’s wedding (remember the fun shoes?

The Herfindahl Family- San Diego Family Photographer

The Herfindahl’s did their on-location portrait session at Balboa Park and we had fun! The kids lasted much longer then we thought they would, but aren’t they so cute? You think one toddler is hard to photograph? Try two :) But, I love how they came out!

I can’t wait to post pictures of their custom frames they ordered! Ashley is an awesome chiropractor here in San Diego who has helped me be able to function and I am SO thankful! The San Diego Neck and Back Pain Relief Center is at 619-295-3885 and I HIGHLY recommend them!

Thanks guys!
