Mel & Matt’s Wedding: Surf and Sand Hotel Laguna Beach

One of my favorite disney characters is Winnie the Pooh!  I can identify with his sweetness and that he can be a bit airy (I too am known for spacey spells), but my favorite thing about Pooh bear is he shares my love for “blustery days”!  Well, today being very blustery and rainy too,  is the perfect time to catch up on my much delayed blogging.

I first spoke with this fabulous couple after they toured Villa Rockledge in Laguna Beach.  They have a great love story, complete with Matt mistaking Mel for an airline attendant, and then spending the entire flight chatting and flirting with her until she agreed to go out with him when they arrive in California.  Fast forward several years and they are planning the perfect wedding.  As fate would have it, both Matt and Mel’s family ended up in the same place a few weeks ago.  They said, what the heck, let’s just get married now and plan our dream reception with all of our friends some time in 2012.   I was fortunate enough to be involved in their beautiful wedding day at the Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna Beach.  Everything about it was magical, including the absolutely amazing, over the top suite that they spent their wedding night in.

Thanks to both of your for including me in the magical day!  Enjoy!

Iannuzzi Wedding: Laguna Beach Wedding Photography

Great food, great music and an unbelievable view perfectly describes Connie and Mike’s beach front wedding by An All Inclusive Event.  Although Connie had a little hair emergency and we had an extremely high tide for the wedding portraits, the wedding went off without a hitch!  It was so sweet to see Connie with her Dad, and her Dad with all his grandkids.   There is a lot of love in this family!   Enjoy!

Hartigan Family: Laguna Beach Family Photographer

It must be that season again, cause all of the regular members of our Blue Sky’s family are headed down to the beach with me for beach sessions.  The Hartigan family wanted meet up before football season begins.  If you can’t tell by the look of the boys and Dad these guys love football.  But, I was also surprise to find out, that the boys and of course their beautiful daughter, really like to pose!  I am not kidding, they just kept coming up with new looks in different locations.  It was like “hey Kristin, what about this pose” and look over here I have mastered the “Smolder” (yes, there oldest son gave me a new name for the serious boy look!)  What a great time I had with all of them.  I see a future for them as Blue Sky’s photographers for sure!  Anyway, thanks for coming out to play and enjoy the images from the day!

A Decade and 1/2 Century: Laguna Beach Wedding Photographer

My beautiful client Rashae came to me with the idea of having a wedding vow renewal ceremony celebrating a decade of marriage between she and her husband!  I loved the idea, especially when she started to describe all of the details and special touches she was going to include to make it a one of a kind event.  So another family member was just about to celebrate their 50 year wedding anniversary and the idea for a Decade and 1/2 Century party was born.  They had a lovely sunset ceremony on Monarch beach and we set up a super duper cute photo booth right on the beach for all the guests.  Thanks to Rashae we had a giant frame, frame hangers and darling wing back chairs for the set.  Everyone at the wedding jumped in and had a photo session.  When they returned to the house for cocktails and dancing, we had all the images printed and framed waiting for each guest.  Thank you so much to the Taylor family for including me and my crew!  We had a blast!  Enjoy!

Hope and David at The Mission: Laguna Beach Engagement Photographer

Wow was all I could say when I met Hope and David at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano for their engagement session.  Seriously, they both look so fabulous and brought the perfect attire for every part of the Blue Sky’s engagement session.  We started out with some gorgeous romantic shots in the Mission.  We followed that up with wandering around the historic district.  There was literally 1oos of beautiful spots to photograph these two.  Doesn’t Hope’s makeup look fantastic!  Thanks to Berit from Makeup by Berit for doing such an awesome job!  I can’t wait for the wedding at Laguna Village by An All Inclusive Event, followed by the reception at The Hills hotel in Laguna Hills.  The best part of all is that they are going to follow up the ceremony with a Thrash the Dress session!  That’s right, Hope is going in the Ocean in her beautiful wedding dress!  Stay tuned and enjoy!
