Michelle & Aaron didn’t exactly know what to expect when I told them to meet me on the streets of La Jolla. I think they envisioned orange sunsets and crashing waves in their background (we did those, too). But they definitely weren’t expecting to find art amongst the businesses in town. But NOW they understand why I had them doing what they were doing and we had soooo much fun!

And here’s another instance where I am friends with brides mom! I first met Michelle’s mom, Nancy Stevens, when I asked her to be the florist for my wedding. Nancy had work that was above and beyond all of the other florists’ work that I had seen. Nancy knows her flowers, knows weddings, and is the most amazing floral artist I have met. Let me tell you . . . the bouquet she made for me has been preserved and is HANGING in my home to this day! I couldn’t have asked for a better bouquet . . . but above all else, I made a great friend!

So now, five years later, it is time for her daughter to get married. [ And I hope Nancy isn’t reading this because she’s been crying every day for two months now because her baby girl is getting married!] I have the honor and privilege of getting to photograph Michelle and Aaron’s wedding and let me tell you . . . I cannot WAIT! These two are fun and gorgeous. It’s going to be quite the wedding!
