Many of my readers may have noticed that Justin and I have HUGE families (and this is an understatement!), so we have the sweet pleasure of getting to photograph many of our family members as they find the one they want to spend forever with and decide to tie the knot! Shane is my second cousin and his lovely fiancee, Hillary, is truly a sweetheart.
In trying to picture a concept for their engagement session I wanted to keep it simple and make sure it was all about them, so we drove down the street and found the Fullerton Dam...it was perfect!!! Also, Shane has this sweet car that he restored back in high school with his dad so we used that too. So glad we get to be a part of this fun time with them!

Hey...nice Datsun. If I had a can of green olives for every time someone told me I had a nice Datsun, I could end world hunger faster than you could say "Thank you sir may i have another". People have stopped saying it over the last little while though, do to the fact that my pants have been getting more loose. You understand.

Morgan + Jake were married on January 10th at the LDS Temple in Las Vegas. They found us through a mutual family friend that insisted they check us out and we are so glad that they did!!! We were especially looking forward to shooting a different temple than we have use to, it was a nice a change and break from the norm.
I'm sure Morgan + Jake's faces look familiar, you may recognize them from their engagement session we shot back in November. The wedding day was lovely and we had some extra time between the temple ceremony and reception so we used the Las Vegas surroundings to our advantage for some creative portraiture.
Be sure to click here to view their online slideshow, its a good one!:)
