It is rare that I photograph the same venue in the same wedding season, so it was shocking when I ended up shooting at Ponte Winery twice in two weeks. Kelly and I go way back to high school where she was on the dance team and when she started planning her wedding, she reached out to see if I was available. I love it when the bride or groom is my high school friend because it’s like attending high school reunion except you’re the photographer. Nothing like getting to catch up with old friends and seeing what they are up to while at the same time doing something you really enjoy.

As a photographer we all dream of owning the best camera equipment, but when you own the best equipment money can buy then sell all of it so that you can marry your partner. Now that is true love.
Oliver and I met through photographing Formula Drift. We hit it off by talking about our love of photography and how it’s more than a hobby. A passion that we both would love to pursue full-time. So when I asked him about the new Canon camera he was supposed to be getting, he told me he sold everything so that he can pay for this wedding. My jaw dropped in astonishment and then naturally my next question was, “Do you need a wedding photographer 
”
Oliver goes, “I wouldn’t want anyone else.”
As my heart melts away, Oliver doesn’t mention when he was getting married until …. oh about a month away. Thankfully I wasn’t booked and I was able to photograph his and Elissa’s magical day.

My older sister laid down the law to her friend Monica. She said you are only allowed to hire my brother as your wedding photographer. A year later there I was in the middle of Lake Arrowhead at the Lake Arrowhead Spa and Resort getting ready to photograph Montee and Monica’s wedding. Lake Arrowhead Spa and Resort is gorgeous and has a ton of areas you can take photos at. The only thing missing was some extra time to do so. Otherwise it was a wonderful wedding and congratulations to Montee and Monica.
