San Diego Wedding Photography - Kathryn and Pepper

kathryn & pepper are HOT!!

i can't tell you how much fun we had at this particular wedding. from the 34,000 groomsmen, to the matching shades, to the sweetest family, to the dance floor, to the taco truck, to the custom-karaoke series of toasts, to the final song, seriously... kathryn & pepper rocked it out.

every story is unique, i believe, and kathryn & pepper's is proof. they met on the computer... but not on match.com, no, kathryn first "met" pepper while she was editing a video for the non-profit organization, invisible children. and as it would turn out, both kathryn & pepper would end up working on the same project, rosaline, and this small girl from Africa, thousands of miles away, would draw their stories together.

kathryn & pepper, thank you for blessing carlie & i. and thank you for the taco truck... seriously though, the taco truck was awesome ;)

enjoy.the.story.

Del Mar Engagement Photography - Dawn and Michael

dawn and michael equal awesome.

just the other week, carlie & i had the incredible pleasure of taking an afternoon drive down the pacific coast, past the rolling hills of camp pendleton and the cliffs at san onofre, to san diego to hang with our new friends, dawn & michael.

upon arrival, carlie & i were stoked to hear that not only had dawn & michael done their r&d in regards to their wardrobe, but we would also be partaking in a little bit of photo espionage. the location: an exclusive resort tucked away yet somehow isolated from the hustle surrounding san diego.

we rolled up to the gate and when asked by the attendant as to our motives, we confidently shared that we were researching venues for dawn & michael's wedding...

success! the attendant allowed us entry, and the rest of the afternoon was a breeze. here's a bit from our time together...

San Diego Engagement Photographer - Emily and Braden

dear God...

carlie & i have always both been curious at the oddity of starting a prayer in this manner. are we merely writing an oral letter to our Creator? or is it simply habit to transition into communication with Him?

whatever the reason, we realize that He is up to something. and whether your spiritual belief's align with ours, or not, i have a hunch that the art of story tugs at your heart strings like it does ours. it just so happens that our belief is one that our God is an artful story-teller, and intentional in his writings.

and, i know that emily & braden would agree. emily & braden are passionate people, who look back at the series of moments that have accumulated over the past few years, leading to this moment and time, and shake their heads in awe. emily & braden are thankful people, adventurous people, intentional people. thank you both, emily & braden, for the invitation to your story. we can't wait to see what God has in store...

in the mean time, here are some of the photographs we captured, with emily & braden.
