Alli & Ryan

This was the perfect Santa Cruz wedding for a cool young couple- complete with surfers in the waves behind the ceremony, and a relaxed reception at a beach house near by.

The Weidemann Family

Ok, so I have a soft spot for adorable red-headed boys.  :)

Andrea & Channing, Married

Old Whaling Station, Monterey

Maybe it was the fact that this was the first wedding I’ve gotten to photograph at the same place where I got married, maybe it’s because I shot the wedding on my birthday, or maybe it’s because Channing’s family hails from the same area of Eastern Canada where my husband’s family has a cottage, or maybe it’s just because Andrea and Channing are so easy to like, so smart, so photogenic, so friendly, and yes- even a little quirky. (Channing used to be a street magician and put on a little show at the reception. Yes, there were two sets of twins in the wedding party!) Whatever it was, I felt right at home during this beautiful wedding.

Sally & Nick, Engaged

A very cool couple, all the way from Boston. We were having so much fun together I lost track of time. Looking at the photos now I realize I didn’t think to ask Sally if she’s a dancer. She moves like that, very graceful. Sally you must be a dancer!
