Wedding: Daphne and Johnny, Admiral Kidd Club, October 28, 2011

Gorgeous blue skies graced Daphne and Johnny's beautiful wedding at the Admiral Kidd Club next to the San Diego Bay. I was incredibly touched by how much devotion and tenderness these two people showed for each other, as well as the outpouring of love from all the gathered friends and family.

The Bride's niece takes a quick peak in the mirror as Daphne adjusts her veil.

I set up a bit of off-camera flash to really make the blue sky pop out on their portraits. What a beautiful day!
I just love how much warmth Daphne has in her smile. :)

Portraits: Steve

Took this awesome portrait of Steve earlier this week, whole setup was crowded in the corner of our living room after we got the baby to bed. The crystal skull is actually a bottle of Crystal Head Vodka (with the top removed in post-processing), an awesome gift from Steve's sister. Apparently the vodka is filtered three times through Herkimer diamonds before being bottled in order to infuse it with the same spiritual qualities as the original crystal heads. Steve is, of course, a gentleman and a scholar, so it had to be included to help push the portrait a bit more over the top. :)
