This was the first time I used my Lumix DMC-zs1 Panasonic. It’s my first point-n-shoot camera and besides the delay (I’m just used to my DSLR) I love it! It’s so much easier to take to the pool or out with the kids rather than lugging my Nikon baby around. Here’s our Fourth of July.
This couple was referred to me by my first beach wedding couple Brandon and Ashley who were married at the very same beach, actually, and for the same reasons. They both wanted to do the right thing, the righteous thing, and get married before living together. Hallelujah! What a wonderful honor it was to be there and document their commitment before their family and before God. The wind started it as soon as I got out of the car. Tears ran down my face until I got back in the shelter of the car, but I added my own tears into the mix of the day and my heart lifted up in thanksgiving and joy with Mallory and Mark. May the Lord richly bless your marriage as you seek to honor Him together!
It just so happened that Pete had a wedding booked in Los Angeles the day after my Santa Barbara wedding. It happened to be perfect timing for him to be here to second shoot for me, and it also turned out to be very convenient timing for an anniversary trip for Pete and Sarah’s eighth year married! They spent a refreshing, memorable and providential weekend in California. They shared their time with us, catching up, making memories, and enjoying being together.
On Sunday we walked down memory lane and through their old town Culver City on a double date/photo shoot and had a blast! Definitely something we’ll do again someday!
Pete, I think we still need to trade discs? Lemme know!
God is good in all things and His thoughts above ours. Praise Him!
When my dear friend Laura fell terribly sick and couldn’t shoot this wedding with me (which came my way thanks to her) I was wondering what to do about a second shooter…but our great God already knew and had a perfect plan. Pete and Sarah were flying out to the LA area that very same weekend to shoot a wedding and spend time with us as well as celebrate their wedding anniversary and had Friday evening free, you got it, to help me out! Pete was happy to second shoot for me and he and Sarah even got to go out to dinner together during the ceremony. 🙂 Pete providentially had all his camera gear anyway (and a chance to set up this cool flash synchronized firing thing on the dance floor which made for some awesome reception shots) and graciously let us use his stuff. Pete and Sarah, thank you for all your help and it was really, really fun to work with you again!
Matt and Tiffany had a beautiful, God honoring wedding on the beach in Santa Barbara with their closest friends and relatives to help them celebrate and witness their union. They have a gallery on my website, but I get to post my favorites here _with comments_! So enjoy 🙂
An event with tons of trucks of all kinds parked in several lots with hundreds of children climbing on them and through them!
