A change in the weather….
It’s been stormy the last few days around here and it feels good to finally feel a change in the weather.
Unseasonably warm days in January confuse me. When the leaves change and the temperatures drop my first inclination is to hibernate- to pull the shades closed and focus on my future. I make lists, I clean closets and drawers, I organize both my things and my thoughts and I start to feel rejuvenated and the energy that I expended so forcefully all wedding season slowly comes back to me ready to take on another year. But it’s been warm here .. and sunny and that has been infuriating me. How can I be expected to get any reflection done when it’s 70 degrees and beautiful out? I don’t want to reflect on life when it’s beautiful out- I just want to live it!
So finally! Rain! Reflection!
Here’s to those closets that need cleaning, the drawers that need arranging, and the thoughts and things that need organizing! Decide what to be and go be it.

San Jose Wedding Photographer : A wedding at The Fairmont Hotel : Melody and Steve
Shoving off tomorrow for my bi-yearly rejuvenation trip with some of my very favorite women, Traveling Heart Society. We started out as a bunch of women just looking for a little companionship and camaraderie in this crazy photography world and over the years have grown into true friendships that will last forever! I’ll be on and off email this week so forgive me if my responses are slower than normal.
Melody and Steve tied the knot last summer at The Fairmont in downtown San Jose and were such a joy to work with. Coordinated by Irene Ibidapo, despite the crazy jazz festival going on outside, this day went off without a hitch! Jessica at Love Spun whipped up some amazing video footage and Amy from Amy Burke Designs designed some gorgeous orchid arrangements for both the ceremony and the beautiful ballroom. I’m not gonna lie …. it was nice to shoot so close to home! Only about a 10 minute commute 
Onward!

Without you…
Without you..
the stars gleam | the poets dream | the eagles fly
Without you..
the earth turns | the sun burns | but I die
Without you..

Flashback Friday | Images from the archives
Leslie and Sim
One of my favorites images I’ve ever taken. I shoot the majority of weddings on my 50 1.2 but occasionally throwing on the 35mm pays off. The bridesmaid loosing it on the right completes this moment and I could never have seen it from that distance with my 50mm. A reminder not to get too comfortable!

I visited multiple sites but the audio feature for audio songs present at this site is actually superb.
