The Back Story (quick version)...
Marvimon was the place where Lauren and I got married...
When we got married we weren't "photographers" yet...
In 2009, we were asked to shoot Erin+Calvin's wedding at this place called the Smog Shoppe...
Marvimon built the Smog Shoppe...
It was like being back at our own wedding, only this time, we were the "photographers"...
Cool =)...
Here are a few snippets of their Wedding Story...click on the link at the bottom of the post to see how it all pieces together.
Blog Post Disclaimer (cont...) If you're looking for Detail photos, you'll need to check back in later this week. Sometimes AMAZINGNESS can't be bottled up in just one post.
To Erin+Calvin - your wedding gets a two part series, need we say more?! Thank you for bringing us into your lives for your special day and allowing us to capture it as we would if it were our own.

And sometimes we also carry things like fishing line and a pole in our camera bag just in case we want to float a basketball in between our couples...
Then sometimes we don't ask them to do anything but be themselves...
Thanks for posting - we had a great time and absolutely love how everything turned out. Looking forward to having you guys shoot for us next month!

Click HERE to see some of my favorites from the shoot. And in case you're wondering...yeah...we basically shoot 7 beautiful women in one afternoon. Talk about pressure!! ;)
Thanks again Alissa!
It took all of three hard pushes and before you know it, we have a family of four...me and three girls.
In case you were wondering, these photos were shot straight out of our camera...even the black and white ones ;) I did that because i really wanted to preserve the moment as they happened with no photoshop tricks or touchups...I wanted REAL, UNEDITED, IN THE MOMENT photos of Zoe.
It's definitely been a challenge adjusting to two kids but we're getting through it =) Now adjusting to two kids and trying to edit?...well, lets just say i'm not up at 1:43am watching movies ;)
