When I met the two of them, I knew that their wedding would be both fun and a challenge - they decided quickly to get married with little planning in advance. I'm all for that. Additionally, she told me the wedding would be in the groom's Mother's backyard, and the reception in her Mother's house.

Keeping in mind the many issues that might arise from photographing an almost impromtu wedding in a tiny space with only tungsten lights available, I couldn't help but take the challenge. :D

In the end, their wedding was great. It turned out that the overcast day was warm enough for the outdoor ceremony. I'm lucky to work with brides who are totally in focus with what's important on their wedding day- brides who don't let the stress get to them. Danielle was no different! I loved the attitude she, her family and friends had all day. BJ was just as calm and collected. I think they're going to do quite well together.

After dinner and cake, Danielle, BJ and their friends ventured in to the garage to play some Rock Band. What a way to end a wedding!

Enjoy the slideshow. I think I went a little nuts, but it's because I had so many favorite images.

Thanks to everyone who made it to my first photo booth event! I will be doing another soon enough, so I hope that everyone who couldn't make it will be sure to stop by and pose next time.

We had a lot of fun dressing up in costumes and hats - I think Abbey can vouch for all :D

On Saturday, January 30th I'll be throwing a Photo Booth Party at my studio - err, my garage studio. What's a Photo Booth Party? Well, it's when a photographer (me) creates a photo booth - a backdrop, and a box of crazy props - and invites everyone they know, the people who know them, and anyone else out there who want to come and have their photo taken for free.

Come, stand in my photo booth, and take home two digital files of your photos. You can bring anyone or anything - I'll fit as many people, dogs, or props in to your photo as possible. Looking for a photo of yourself and your dog? Of you and your loved one? Yourself? You and your prized cupcakes? Anything is possible!

I'm a new photographer, and my goal is to meet everyone I can out there. Also, I want you and everyone you know to meet me!

There will be snacks, free yard play for the doggies, and did I mention fun props?

I really hope you can make it. The event will happen starting at around 12 p.m and go until around 5 or 6.

Please tell everyone you know!

If anyone has any questions, they should email me at nissanicole AT gmail.com.

The leaves are turning (yes, even here in California) and I've already started my Christmas shopping on Etsy and Artfire, so that means its time for you to start planning for your family Holiday photos and greeting cards.

Luckily, I can help you with both. Book a Holiday photo session with me between October 1 - December 5, and I'll personally hand-design custom Holiday photo cards for you to send to all of your friends and family.

Contact me right away so we can get started!
