Charlotte

Kendra — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 03:05:47 +0000

A brand new baby, just in time for Christmas! Charlotte is the first child for 2007 Bride Heather and her husband Mike.

Like most newborn shoots, we try to keep the baby comfortable while getting a look at her. Charlotte was most comfortable in her diaper and swaddled in her blanky.

She appears to be either a gal at the spa, or a very cute burrito. What do you think?

Mercy

My dear friend is just about to earn her degree from San Diego State’s Nursing program. We had a chance to catch up recently and during one of our visits she consented to a quick photo session.

Even when you know the photographer, it takes a few frames for people to relax and get comfortable being in front of the camera.

Samuels Family

After the wedding season I love to photograph families for the holidays. I’ve known Lisa since she was a small girl who lived down the street from my dear Aunt in San Diego.

Lisa has since grown into the lovely wife and mother you see here. Hannah, Ethan and new addition Moriah made for a lovely Hannakuh card with their dad Brian.

Grandparents Erica and Joel escaped our photo session this year—so you will be sure to see them here next year!

Christie and Scott are college sweethearts and dated forever before tying the knot on August 8th this past summer. The svelte Christie wore a white gown with pink accents and a HUGE smile all day. Who would of thought Mr. Scott would be the teary-eyed one? The day was full with all kinds of traditions to mark their wedding day. The ceremony was at St. Bonaventure in Huntington Beach. Cocktails and the reception followed at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort. During the reception, the bride disappeared only to come back as Michaela Jackson (see the video link below). A fun filled day and wonderful to work with Linda Foeldi of My Bridal Assistant, Joel Stanton of Pristine Visual (video is at htttp://vimeo/6045434 then the password is anderson0809). Special thanks to Vanessa Rockafellow at the Hilton Watherfront Beach Resort and Denise Empey who did makeup for the bridal party.

Cathy and Ray October 10, 2009

Spectacular Wedding! Cathy and Ray picked one of the most beautiful places ever for their wedding ceremony. The church is The Mission San Luis Rey near Oceanside. Ray has a huge family and with all of their friends, the guest list stood at 456! The couple’s wedding marked a big day for both the Avenatti and Nanadiego families, having watched the love between Cathy and Ray span across oceans. Ray spent nearly a year in Australia right after they started dating! So, when it looked like this was going to be a lifelong match, Ray sent for his American and his Australian priests to bless the marriage.Here are some quick peeks at the ceremony to debut my new KendraWeddings blog.
