Since Michelle and Steve love the ocean so much Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club was the perfect choice for their wedding reception! I’m so glad we got to take some portraits on the wooden sailboat! That was so much fun. I loved the view from the yacht club at night. The harbor looks so beautiful at dusk. Congratulations Michelle and Steve! I hope your having a fabulous honeymoon :)

We snuck in my last engagement session of the year on a super dramatic winter day. Michelle and Steve got some amazing stormy beach skies that I just love!!! MIchelle works on a boat so it’s sooo fitting that they had thier engagment session at the harbor and on the beach. Michelle and Steve were such a fun couple to shoot! I can tell that their wedding is going to be full of a ton of laughs!
Danyll and Donnie tied the knot at the Mandalay Bay Embassay Suites on Sunday. What a perfect labor day weekend! When we walked into the hotel it felt like we just walked into the caribbean. I loved the live music by the pool. Danyll and Donnie were getting ready in the presidental suite next to the ceremony site and it was so nice everyone gathering together before the ceremony. It was such a warm, fun, family environment :) Congrats Danyll and Donnie!
Jennifer and Rich ended the year off with a fabulous wedding! I joined Jennifer in her suite at Mandalay Bay to get ready. We got some fun getting ready shots. Of course I love the eyelashes, but this time I was inspired by the shoes. The ceremony was held at the San Buenaventura Mission. I just love December weddings and this one was no different. The mission was decorated beautifully for Christmas. There were red poinsettia’s everywhere. The Reception was held at Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club. It was such a beautiful day that a reception on over looking the harbor was perfect!
I’m so jealous that they get to start 2008 on their honeymoon in Maui! That’s a good start to the new year!

I met up with the Young’s at the Dune’s in Oxnard. The kids had such a great time playing at the beach. It was so great to catch up with Karen & Ron again. We shot right before sunset and the light was amazing! We went right before sunset. I just love shooting at Oxnard Shores!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I’ll talk to you soon!
