I cry at almost every wedding we shoot. What can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic. Always have been. A passionate, Italian-Mexican Taurus. Go figure. The moment when the bride and groom first see each other ; the proud mom adoring her son, whose now a man; and the father daughter dance? Forget it! Even the toasts usually tear me up.
I'm often taken back to my own wedding and reminded of the serendipitous circumstances in which I met Chris. A romantic adventure...an airport in Italy, a train to Paris, and just 3 days later, I was in love. When I met Chris, not only was he perfect for me, but my friends said how lucky I was to have someone to document all my travels!
Traveling is my passion, and in the past you may have found me getting lost in a small foreign country learning their culture,enjoying their food, and exploring off the beaten track. Nowadays you'll find me learning about dinosaurs, trains and exploring life through the eyes of our 3 yr old. Both adventurous in their own right. And luckily, I've got the photos to cherish forever.
Where you'll find me on Sunday Morning- in PJ's, buried in the travel section of the LA Times, hands curled around my coffee. Where you'll find me in the summer - at the beach or water-skiing on a mountain lake with old friends. Where you'll find me in winter - snowboarding at Lake Tahoe - still one of my favorite places on earth..
I love photographing weddings because like life,weddings are a whirlwind romantic adventure and who wouldn't want delicious cake every Saturday night?
