When I shoot a wedding, I meet so many new people and it's a really good reminder of just how big the world is outside my own little bubble.

I had the experience of carpooling to the ceremony site with Brandon's mother, Robin, and was able to share photos of my family with her, which I had on my phone. She told me that my life was full and blessed. She is right. But I looked all around that day at the friends and family on the beach there to celebrate Brandon and Justine's special day and I saw that Brandon and Justine were also full and blessed by the support of their loved ones.

I had the pleasure of working with fellow-photographer and friend Mark Nessia on this wedding as a second shooter. Mark met up with Brandon and Justine back in November and took some stellar engagement photos in the rain, that are definitely worth a look. You can see his blog post of Brandon and Justine's wedding here.

This weekend was awesome because I got to help document two weddings; this one here featuring Brandon and Justine's beach wedding in Ventura, CA and Sunday I filmed a video of Ryan and Toni's wedding at Rio Bravo Country Club in Bakersfield, CA. But more about Ryan and Toni later, video coming soon. In short, I am very tired but feeling very blessed.
