joanne + jon {manhattan beach wedding photographer}

Well hello again! Did ya miss me? I've been on a bit of a baby-havin' sabbatical. Since I last blogged we've added an addition to the family. I am now a proud mama to a precious baby girl. Ms. Delaney East is now three months old and melts my heart every time her gummy little smile shines my way.

While I was pregnant, a lovely British couple contacted me about photographing their wedding. It was a very special wedding to me. It would be the first wedding I shot after I had my baby.

While on vacation in California last year, they visited Manhattan Beach and simply fell in love. They promised when they wed, they would have the ceremony at The Shade Hotel. It was a lovely, intimate affair with thirty of their closest family and friends.

The morning of their event, I was nervous and excited at the same time. I had been so wrapped up in mommyhood for the past few months, that I was worried I'd be a little "rusty" when it came to shooting a wedding.

The second I met Joanne and Jon, I was immediately at ease. They were so sweet and relaxed. They're the kind of couple that exudes such warmth that you feel their love for each other instantly- a dream couple for a photographer!

Congratulations to Joanne and Jon! I can't wait to visit you in London someday!
