Eric + Sam's Wedding...

Last week I had the honor of photographing a very cool couple. 

Here's a little preview of what's to come...

1,826 days and counting...

5 years. That's how long 1,826 days is. 43,829 hours...2,629,743 minutes, that's how long I've been married to the man of my dreams.

So what's our story? How did we meet and know we were meant to spend the rest of our lives together?

We met at church. New to our faith, we were those Christians that were at church every waking moment. He served in the high school ministry, and let's just say I was there too :)

We began dating when I was a senior in high school at the ripe age of 18! He was 21, and we knew it was going to work out despite our age difference. Because let's be honest...I was/am a sophisticated lady with wisdom beyond my years...ha, I wish.

So we dated for a few years while I pursued school and he paid off some debt (credit cards are from the devil!) and on December 17th, 2006 he asked me to be his bride at the Snow White Wishing Well at Disneyland.

A little less than 10 months later on October 6th, 2007 we got hitched at The Orchard in Menafee, California. It will always be a cherished memory because that's where we promised our hearts to one another forever and ever.

A Starbucks Proposal Story...

I absolutely loved this proposal! Not only because I'm a Barista, but because I thought the idea was profound and genius! I mean honestly, if Mitch would've popped the question to me with a set up like this, I'm pretty sure I'd die, come back to life, & then tell the story to complete strangers on a daily basis!

Last Weekend...

This past week went  by so fast I didn't get a chance to blog at all! So here are a few photos I took from all the exciting events that happened last weekend...

Friday Night: We finally got to see the new dragon in Fantasmic...let's just say I said "whoa" a lot.

Saturday evening: I surprised Mitch with floor level seats near foul ball/ home run territory. We loved it.

Sunday: Brandon & Amanda's wedding was so beautiful! We had such a great time. The best part? The photobooth...Oh, & the fact two of our friends became husband & wife, that was cool too.

& throughout the entire weekend...Teddy definitely got some love.
