The was rain, there was sun, there was rain during the ceremony, then sun during the reception. But regardless of the weather, Max and Leigha were all smiles. Big, infectious smiles.

Thank you to Katie Gardner for second shooting with me!!

This was a sweet moment. Max and Leigha’s parents have been friends for years and I loved the relationship between the mothers. At one point during the prep, the mom’s stepped outside to cover the day in prayer. A beautiful moment.

Oh heeeeey! Look who’s a bridesmaid. Its Kelley from 618 Studios!!

Meanwhile…

Here comes the rain…

Bridal party portraits in the rain? Sure! Why not!

A sweet little cake made by Leigha’s grandmother. :-)

And then all the cell phone pics of the rest of the trip….

And here are some pics from the last few months…

Spending some time at the beach… in his diaper.

Hanging out at home in 6 month old Halloween pj’s…

Visiting a diary and seeing soooo many cows…

Running around the Wild Animal Park…

Starting his first day of preschool… (Yes, I cried.)

Coming down stairs to his Easter basket…

And playing at the park…

And finally… getting a much over due hair cut.

Only one month until his 3rd birthday.  He’s growing up way to fast!

Thanks to Katie for second shooting the day with me.  A number of the images below are hers.

And double high-5 to Suzan M. Florals for making the details so beautiful!!

Would you like cake?

Pre wedding games!!

Remember??  Well, while we were there I shot 3 rolls of black and white.  And because I’m cheap lazy slow, I just got them developed today. Check it.

These first few are at home before we left. :-)  Row looooves his cars.

Also.  Don’t worry, its totally normal to wish you were friends with these two as you look through look their wedding pics. Trevor and Trinity are genuine, hilarious, and beautiful people individually.  So think about the super powers they have created by being together!

Prep and First Look: Hotel Palomar
Wedding and Reception: The New Children’s Museum

And thanks to Katie for shooting with me again!!

It was supposed to rain all day. It didn’t. The sun set before we even started portraits. It didn’t matter.

Even earlier in the week when I was finalizing timeline details with Meghann, she could have cared less about the outcome of the weather… she was just so excited to be getting married. I loved what this wedding was. A true celebration of a couple so in love and ready to start their lives together. Such a great start to 2012!!

And a super thanks to Katie for coming along with me and keeping those groomsmen in check.

HAAAAAYYAAAA! (That’s my karate chop.)

Ok, so maybe I had nothing to do with the weather. But I did luck out BIG TIME!! Even on the morning of this session I wasn’t hopeful for pretty weather. I was expecting dark and gloomy at best. Well… 2 hours before we started shooting the clouds DISAPPEARED and the sun came out. I then proceeded to high-five a million angels and walk out the door to enjoy Summer and Tim being awesome.

Please enjoy. :-)

Here is the story of Kade’s birth.
