bridals...and a groom for good measure.

i know, i know.
it's been a minute.
i was hoping to distract from the
fact that i've been absent
for-wait for it-ever
by flashing images of this
beautiful couple.

is it working?

oh, by the way,
this is darien and jace.
they are rockstars on all accounts...
so as to not give away just how
long ago i SHOULD have posted these,
i'll just tell you that at least
it hasn't been a year :)

family love.

i've known this family for a long time
(lucky lucky me)
and i am not exaggerating when i say
i absolutely think the world of them.

so, let me introduce you to
the boys.
the girls.
and the dog.







thanks for the great times, my dear friends.

liz & kirk.

remember these lovebirds?
well, liz is becca's sister and she got hitched...
i'm sure you know what's coming next,
but i'll tell you just in case...

i got to photograph her wedding, too!
booyah! is it painfully obvious that i never say that?

anyway,
she's a doll and he's a complete gentleman.
congratulations, kiddos.
it was such a pleasure.

the bridals:


the temple:


the celebration:

nat & collin.

engaged.


bride to be.


wedded.


the party...and cake in the face.
mmmmm. chocolate wedding cake.
(they sent me home with some...and by some i mean an entire layer...i have such a hard job)

baby ben.

our dear dear friends
had an a adorable baby boy (who, might be old enough to go to college now...and the slacker award goes to me)
and i had the complete pleasure
of taking some pictures of the little guy...
and his sweetest mommy.

the fiesta.

this was hands down the funnest reception.

was it because it was family?
was it because of the d e l i c i o u s mexican food?
was it because there was a mariachi band?
was it because everyone danced like maniacs?

si.
si.

and for your viewing pleasure...
made by the one and only david pilkington.
who is oh so gangsta:

mike and nettie.

dave's brother, mike, got married.
but wait, there's more greatness.
he married annette aka nettie aka
one of the sweetest girls i've ever known.

but wait, again, even more greatness...
i have pictures to prove it.

it all took place at the los angeles temple
and it was simply beautiful...i've never seen
a couple as truly happy coming out of the
temple as these two birdies...
take a look...see what i mean?
fun, right? well the fun hasn't even begun.
just wait until i post the reception pictures...
yeah, you just wait.





alert! alert! hotties on the loose.
