We really enjoyed having the privilege to be a part of Melissa & Jacob's wedding on Nov. 12. We had several different fun portrait sessions with them, including an amazing pre-ceremony meeting under the palm trees at the beach in front of the hotel. Jacob's jaw about fell to the ground when he saw how beautiful Melissa was when she appeared from the beach. It was one of many magical moments with two of the coolest people I've worked with. These two have quickly become friends to me and I look forward to visiting them every summer out in Santa Cruz, California where they live.

Thanks for all the memories, guys! You're the best.

And special thanks also to Mike Buoy (www.mikebuoy.com). Several of the shots that appear in this blog, as well as many in Melissa and Jacob's gallery are from his amazing creative eye. Mike is truly a great photographer and friend. Together, I truly believe our work is as good as anyone's. He's the best! Check out his web site when you have the chance. You'll be as blown away as I am when I see his work. Thanks again, Mike.

Enjoy this sneak peek. The gallery isn't too far behind :o)
