Watsonville Wedding / Pemo Osel Ling / The Amphitheater of the Redwoods / Jake and Joanne

Posted on August 30, 2011 | by Shanti

“Little ditty about Jake and Joanne, two American kids growing up in the heartland” This was the fun song that their best man customized for their day and sang at there wedding day. Its moments like this that I love being a fly on the wall. Its also locations like this that I love what I do. Pema Osel Ling, or also known as Amphitheater of the Redwoods, is a great rustic location in Watsonville with your vows being said under the majestic grand trees. And then there was the beautiful Joanne with her infectious smile, and the sweet and handsome Jake that made this day such an honor for me to capture. Congratulations you two!

Family Extensions: Roseville Family Portraits

Posted on July 28, 2011 | by Shanti

Family extensions are the best. My sister in law asked me to capture her family portraits… and by her family portraits I mean her mom and dad, her two brothers and their family, and of course her family… and combo’s of everything in between. Believe it or not I was most nervous about my own nieces giving me what I need, as they are used to goofy auntie, and may not think I’m all that funny by showtime. But using my super photography powers, even they gave me the warmth in a real smile, and most importantly the soul of the image that was needed.

I had so much fun capturing a family that I have come to love. The Ryan Family Rocks! Thanks you guys for some good laughs and for not thinking I am completely crazy in my technique of getting good smiles! Or do you?

Love and life

This is the story of Rosario and William. I have had one of those moments again…. One of those moments when I am so thankful to have gotten to know this couple and honored to be apart of such an amazing day. I typically feel that way about all the weddings I get to capture, but there was something unique about this couple, something that touched me deeper than normal. It might have been his quirky and fun sense of humor, or her impeccable eye for detail and order (kindergarten teacher will do that to you)… but all in all, I think it was their love for each other. These two have been in love since high school, and still, 11 years later radiate such zest for life and each other. You can truly visualize these two growing old together and still being the best of friends and madly in love.

The wedding was at St. Charles Catholic Church in San Carlos and the Reception at Poplar Creek in San Mateo. What I also loved about this day is that it was all about family. Which I know, most weddings are… but Rosario is one of 6 kids and Will is one of five… and not a single family member wasn’t there in which they weren’t giving it 110% to make this the most special day of their lives. Rosario and Will bring light into everyone’s life with his wit and her gentle smile, you can’t help but fall in love with the both of them. Congrats you two!
