Oh these TWO. THREE…. I mean. Barney the dog needs some credit too- I mean…. look at him in all of his fluffy wedding processional glory!

I love Colleen + Vince because they are so incredibly sincere and welcoming. Both quick witted and laid back, I knew we were a good match from the start. They were married at the beautiful Cinnabar Hills Golf Club, where we had the afternoon to play in the hillsides until the sun began to go down.

(The only thing that made the day any better than witnessing their love, and enjoying the beautiful light in the hills, was learning via the maid of honor’s (the bride’s sister) toast, that one of Colleen’s hidden childhood pastimes was practicing her Whoopie Goldberg impressions. ALMA. CHECK YOUR BATTERY. And if not already, I knew at that moment that Colleen was awesome.)

The two met for the first time over coffee, where they declared it was ‘love at first sip’, so coffee laden details made cameos throughout their décor.

Check out their fun filled day, and take a long gander at Barney. That boy be fine.

Oh there is so much pretty in this styled shoot.

Jasmine + Adon have the most beautiful chemistry (not to mention Jasmine’s stunning bohemian hair and makeup looks done by Kat Tinney of A-List Makeup). Flowers and two ridiculously awesome hair crowns by Petals by Cary. Vintage decor by Seventh Heaven Vintage Rentals. Adorable stationary by Dawn Corrospondence.

And…. this. LIGHT.

Our original plan was to build a driftwood fort on the beach, but opted to keep it simple as our light was fading and it was proving a larger task then anticipated. Somehow… there just happened to be a perfectly built and waiting driftwood fort in the middle of the beach.

I am starting a new series in my blog. This series shall henceforth be known as “Ugly Ginny: Creepy Photographers Making Weird Faces Next to Gorgeous Brides”. I’d like to think it is self explanitory.

Just to be clear, I am a professional.

I behave professionally in all respects on a wedding day. Moreso, I promise I don’t walk around looking like this on a wedding day.

See? I am a normal-looking person…. right? Just so you see that I am not actually a creep… here’s how I normally appear…

However, it has come to my attention that throughout a wedding day,  my second shooters seem to end up capturing some pretty good ‘gems’ of me. Because I have no shame (perhaps I should?) I of course didn’t want to WASTE these beauties. I started collecting them in a folder I named “Ugly Ginny”, mostly for my own entertainment.

 

…Until I realized my shame needed to be shared with the world. “Damn this camera bag is heavy face”, “Is that the coordinator coming over to tell us to hurry up face”, and “Time to look like a mackeral face” must be set free. These faces are best enhanced when placed next to a gergeous bride, and made even worse by comparison.

 

This first one is out of focus… but I think it adds to the mystique..

Frightened for the bouquet’s safety?

For the love of god, LEAVE THE BOUQUETS ALONE!
