Nicole & Riley Jai & Lyla Wing

Say hello to the coolest of all cats -- Nicole and her two kids, Lyla Wing and Riley Jai. 

Nicole has been a friend of mine since the 4th wedding I ever shot, where she was the florist... which is just one of her many hats. She also has mad photographer and hair&makeup skills. She is one of the most beautiful and passionate souls I've had the pleasure of encountering. So when she told me about her "Dr. Seuss-like" vision for her family photos, I was pretty darn stoked. 

I'll let the photographs speak for themselves...

Howard + Candace

Howard and Candace are the epitome of "opposites attract". 

It's so fun seeing how two AMAZING personalities come together to create something even AMAZING-ER. (yup, it's a word. look it up.... or maybe don't). 

Ben + Kristin

cute-as-a-button OVERLOAD.

Say hello to one of the most gorgeous students of Atascadero High School's Class of 2012!!! 

I had such a blast roaming the hills of SLO and fending off traveling homeless men with this pretty lady. 

Not to mention, I want her wardrobe... especially her shoes :)

MmmmmmmmShoes.

Goodness, aren't they just so perfect?!? And adorable!? And beautiful!? And creative!?

Every single detail at this wedding was DIY - blood, sweat, and tears (literally - Grandpa cut the top of his thumb off with a table saw making their wooden wedding signs) were poured into their spectacular wedding day. Just looking through their photos makes my heart smile. 

I hope it does the same for you. 

Enjoy :)
