On the eve of going to Machu Picchu, we had one day to check out the small town of Cusco…

Catherine + Eric’s Wedding – The rain stopped, clouds parted, and the sun came out for a beautiful wedding on the hills of Burbank this past Saturday at The Castaway Restaurant. Catherine and Eric invited their closest family and friends to celebrate the next chapter in their life together. After being with each other for quite some time now and sharing so much of life with one another, it was finally time for Catherine and Eric to tie the knot.

There was so much love in the air, as everyone from Catherine’s sisters and Eric’s guy friends and uncle shared how much this wonderful couple meant to them. It’s been nothing but a pleasure getting to know and work with Catherine and Eric. Seems like it was just yesterday when we exchanged our first e-mail. Thanks you two for inviting and sharing with me your story.

Mariel + Oscar’s Engagement Session – After a few e-mails and one phone call, we were all set to work with one another. Mariel and Oscar came down from the Bay area to do their e-session last Friday. Along with Mariel’s sister Tiffany, whom I have to thank for referring me to this wonderful couple, I had a great time hanging out with them around Downtown LA.

It’s one thing to chat over the phone, but totally another to be face-to-face and really get to know each other. Mariel and Oscar have been dating for several years, and have places from LA and SF to Seattle and Vegas as special places in their hearts. They’re super nice, easy-going, and genuinely wonderful individuals full of love and life. Thank you both for choosing me to document your big day this July!

Goodbye Rio and hello to my favorite country in South America (so far), Peru! Here’s a few more frames while at Ipanema Beach in RDJ and one day in Lima!
