Mike and Patty were joined together in holy matrimony at the San Diego County Courthouse on a beautiful, bright winter day. Patty's parents witnessed the union in nearly the same location (the courthouse relocated) as their own wedding was held, 50 years earlier.



A young couple joined Patty and Mike at the same time for their ceremony. Patty gave the young bride her bouquet as a gift.

Cindy's Fantastic TTD Session!

After returning from their honeymoon the Wyshack's and I visited our favorite beach in La Jolla and got down and dirty in the surf. The gown Cindy wore for the ceremony she donated to an organization of breast cancer survivors and the reception gown she decided to get nice and soggy before having it dry cleaned and stored. Cindy and Keith were willing to get fully soaked and it made a really fun Trash the Dress session as well as a good work out for me as I dodged the in coming waves.

Please Welcome Mr & Mrs Perrault!

Nicole and Josh were married on August 1st at Linden Place in Bristol, RI. Picture Gatsby at a New Orleans jazz party sipping mint mojitos with lots of Rhode Island east bay pride. It was elegant and fun and full of laughter, family and love. I had the incredible joy of being Maid of Honor. Nicole and I met 10 years ago as fresh-faced Frosh at Northeastern and seeing her and Josh come together in marriage was wonderful, magically and the most natural thing ever. Josh happens to have the same birthday as me (Feb 29) and is kind, funny and like a brother to me. My heart literally was soaring to see them married.

The weather was clear and beautiful and HOT. We moved the chairs for the ceremony into the shade because we would have all melted if we had to stand in the sun. After eating and dancing we were all very very warm but it just made the day more memorable.

Fine local photo photographer Gabrielle Marks and her husband did a fantastic job documenting the event but here are a few photos that I took as well.





My brother and his girlfriend Carrie were guests and my mother performed the ceremony. It was a full McGuire event!

Nicole's nieces, Paige and Brooke, were also in the wedding party as a Junior Bridesmaid and flower girl. They are both delightful young women.

Nicole & Josh at Colt State Park

Nicole and Josh had their rehersal dinner at Colt State Park in Bristol, RI which is acres and acres of beautiful public water front land along the bay. The weather was predicted to be stormy but instead it was warm and beautiful. I always love it when the weatherman is wrong in a good way.

Bi-Lingual Wedding

On Saturday, August 18th I shot a bi-lingual wedding with KS. It was an epic day. Starting with the groomsmen getting ready at 11 am, through a full service ceremony, followed by formals in downtown SD and finally continuing the celebration in Old Town. The ceremony was at the Assembly church in Hillcrest and the reception was at a fantastic Mexican-food restaurant called Alcapolcos. It was incredible to see these two families and cultures come together through love and the celebration of marriage.

I photographed as a 2nd shooter for the first time with KS this past Saturday. The bride and groom were so in love it was incredible. They were so laid back and just happy to be there with their friends and family celebrating the joining of their families. I wish every wedding could be this fun to shoot. Hopefully Kim and I are going to a "Trash the Dress" session with her when she gets back from Cancun.
