July 4th is special every year. Its a day to remember our freedoms and take stock of how luck we are to live in America. But THIS year was extra special, because Jason and Suzy decided that would be the day they would get married!

You may remember Jason and Suzy from their engagement session at Balboa Park earlier this year. I remarked them that I loved how they couldn’t keep their eyes off of each other. This was even more true on their wedding day!

From the moment they had their first look, it was so obvious that these two really cherish each other and could not wait till they were finally husband and wife. This was my first Jewish ceremony and I had so much fun learning about a different tradition, so intricate and beautiful. There were just a few more steps until Jason and Suzy were married.

I have a long list of favorite images from their wedding day! The guests were so much fun, the details were absolutely gorgeous and the couple was totally in love. What more could you ask for???

(Jason’s cell phone case accidentally matched the wedding colors!)

This wasn’t actually supposed to be the shot, but Jason just couldn’t stop watching Suzy as we were taking some shots of her by herself. I love how he adores her!

Love me some emotional first dance action!

Love the super proud parents too

The night ended with some Hava Nagila! So much fun!!!

Huge congratulations to Jason and Suzy! I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon in southeast Aisa!

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter then you knew this last week, but just in case, I’m proud to announce here that Hybrid Photography has been chosen to as a Wedding Wire Bride’s Choice award winner for 2010! I’m really excited and honored to have been chosen as a winner! Please visit my profile on Wedding Wire as well to see reviews from some of my past clients.

Thank you for the honor!

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much everyone for stopping by my booth today at the Bridal Bazaar! I had such a blast meeting everyone! Boy, my feet are tired though.

If I didn’t get a chance to speak with you, I’d love to schedule a meeting with you to discuss your wedding photography needs.

Here are a few photos of my booth to help you remember which one I was-I know it was overwhelming!

I can’t believe tomorrow is the big day! I’ve been trying for quite some time to secure a booth at San Diego’s largest and most popular wedding show, the Bridal Bazaar. I got the call in late December and it’s been a rush, but I’ve got a booth together that I’m quite proud of. I hope you’ll come check out Hybrid Photography in booth 628, right in the main aisle. There will be a show special so make sure to get a hand out from me or my assistant for the day Michelle!

See you there!

My good friend Mark Eric came out to San Diego last month to shoot T’s bridals all the way from Louisiana. I got to tag along and shoot a little bit while helping him out. T’s wedding hasn’t happened yet so we’ll keep her name secret for Googling purposes.

Here are just a few favorites I grabbed of T’s gorgeousness!

Can you believe the time has already come to say goodbye to 2009 and hello to a new year? This year has been a year of learning, discovery and adventure for me. I can’t wait to see what next year brings!

I’m sure you’ve seen it on a million blogs already, but here’s my personal top 10 images of 2009:

What can I say? I’m a sucker for emotional brides.

I hope this past year has been good to you and that 2010 will be even better! Happy new year everyone!!

Last weekend I was invited by the super awesome Baxters of Ohana Photographers to take a little road trip with them up north for a super awesome wedding double-header weekend.Saturday’s wedding was in Paso Robles at the Justin Winery and it was absolutely gorgeous. I haven’t been up there in quite some time and Paso Robles is just as beautiful as I remember. Totally stoked to shoot up there!

Chris and Diana are wine connoisseurs, and Chris even proposed to Diana at this winery, so what better place to begin their lives together?

They had their first sight in the wine library. I seriously love when brides and grooms do first sights!

We weren’t allowed to take photos during the ceremony, but we were able to get some images of the beautiful church, as well as the processional.

Gotta love the gorgeous light here!

Married!

Stay tuned for part 2 of the awesome double-header wedding weekend!
