Judie and Mike tied the knot aboard Carnival's Elation as it sailed off into the deep blue ocean of the Pacific towards Baja California. Surrounded by their close family and friends, the couple exchanged vows in a short and sweet ceremony aboard the 855-foot cruiseliner.
I'm blogging this aboard the Elation as Gene and I continue our 5-day voyage. This has been our "home away from home" since we left the port of San Diego. The photo below was taken when the Elation dropped it's anchor in the port of Cabo San Lucas the day after the wedding, which is when we met up with the couple for a fun "day after" portrait session in Cabo.
The whole trip has been a fun-filled adventure. Thanks Judie and Mike for having us, and congratulations! |





| Mike arrived in Judie's oceanview stateroom to present her with a bouquet of flowers. |






| Gene grabbed this cool shot of the wedding party! |






| The "day after" portrait session in Cabo. |


| The tiniest bar in Cabo! Visitors to this litter watering hole post dollar bills and sign their names all over the walls. Can you spot Gene's signature? |




| Gene grabbed this one... soft and beautiful! |

I'm not really going fishing, but I am going on a boat! Gene and I are in San Diego waiting to board the Carnival Elation, a 5-day Mexican cruise to celebrate the wedding of Judie and Mike.
I'm actually posting this from my PalmTreo while sitting at Starbuck's. Gotta love technology!
Stay tuned for photos! |

| I think Starr's name describes her perfectly. She literally is a "star" in front of the camera. Starr is a 9-year-old Black Lab full of personality and a penchant for yellow tennis balls. |

| Pauline and Eddy are tying the knot next month at The Rincon Center Atrium in San Francisco. They chose the Legion of Honor and nearby Baker Beach for their engagement session. We had gorgeous weather and lots of fun! |

| Here's Aubie. Isn't she a beauty? She's a 3-year-old Pit mix and has a very sweet disposition. Aubie came to the studio today to have her portrait taken. The camera loved her, and so did I! |






| After taking this image, I couldn't decide if I liked this version... |




... or this version...
Cropping can be fun! |

I'm excited to share that photographer Gene Higa and I have a fabulous destination wedding published in the June/July 2007 issue of Modern Bride magazine, on newsstands now!
Here's a photo of Sadie + Nowell, who said "I Do" against a breathtaking backdrop of rolling green hills in Tuscany, Italy.
I was unable to scan and post images from the magazine spread, but here's a link to the online version:
