Tricia & Raul were married at one of our favorite places, Rancho Capistrano! Ok, so maybe we’re a bit partial because it’s where Emi & I got married. Honestly though, we love love love outdoor ceremonies, and the scenery and light that comes with them. The sloping hill with the view of the lake at Rancho Capistrano is no exception, with the trees gently shifting in the wind, and the light settling over the last set of palms and eucalyptus as it fades for the day is just about as perfect as you could ask for. Raul was just beaming with anticipation, waiting to see his bride, and you can see the joy in his eyes as he looks at her during their vows. Tricia looked absolutely amazing in her dress, and from the time she saw Raul she was all smiles for the rest of the day. There are weddings that we wish never ended, that somehow we could continue to spend more time being a part of a couple’s journey at it’s most intimate, and it’s most rewarding begining, and this was definitely one of those times. I was truly humbled by who Raul was, and how he treated Tricia, and it was honor to be there, to participate, and to give something back. Enjoy.

So I came out the back door the other day, and I noticed this little guy staring up at me. If you’ve encountered one of these, then you know how crazy it is to see those little beady eyes looking back, and then watch as their whole head turns to follow your every move. I was so mesmerized, that I ran back in to grab my camera for a few headshots. Of course he obliged, and gave me a few great images. Enjoy.

Here’s a few of our favs from Anna & Jake’s studio session! The last one takes the cake.
